Instructions

Getting Started

• 1

  Make a commitment to yourself and stick to it. Tell yourself you're going to dance and do it.

• 2

  Make a schedule that accommodates your lifestyle. If you only have three free days, don't plan for seven. Be realistic and you won't set yourself up for failure.

• 3

  Play your favorite music. Pick dance music or something with a fast beat. Pick something you enjoy listening to and you won't want to stop.

• 4

  Pick a time when no one is home. No one will see you and you can dance in privacy.

• 5

  Wear comfortable clothing like shorts and a t-shirt. Dance in light socks or with bare feet.

• 6

  Wear headphones to keep you focused when other people are home. Head phones keep out interruptions, noises and phone calls.

Dancing

• 7

  Turn the music up loud so you can feel the beat.

  Dance fast enough that you are huffing but slow enough to carry on a conversation.

• 10

  Dance for 20 minutes at a time.

• 11

  Dance three times a week to start. You can always increase your time later.

• 12

  Keep the pace steady. Dance any way you want but lose yourself in the music and let the music keep you going. It won't seem like work.
