Effective for dieting!? Fat-burning dances you can do at home (21–30)
boxing cardio
Hinata Kato from the popular YouTube channel “Hinachannel” is introducing a 3-minute boxing cardio routine—supposedly for full-body slimming.
Three minutes makes you think, “I could give that a try,” right? You might assume boxercise is just arm movements, but this one is a true full-body workout that engages your legs and core too.
By the time you finish, you’ll probably be exhausted… And unless you’ve boxed before, you’ll be using arm muscles you don’t normally use in everyday life.
Aerobic dance to a Johnny’s medley
How about exercising with a dance that incorporates aerobics elements while listening to Johnny’s songs? You can have fun working out to the upbeat tempos of King & Prince’s “Cinderella Girl,” Snow Man’s “D.D,” NEWS’s “Chankapāna,” and finish with King & Prince’s “& LOVE”! It might be tough since you’ll be moving nonstop for 16 minutes, but the best part of aerobics is that you can do it with the feeling of enjoying a dance.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in at-home dieting!
WA DA DAKep1er
“WA DA DA” by Kep1er, a nine-member girl group from Japan, China, and Korea.
Even though it was their debut single, it became a hit and gained a lot of buzz, especially on social media.
Let’s channel Kep1er and enjoy a diet dance with “WA DA DA”! It’s up-tempo, so you might think it’s a bit tough, but if you dance properly, it works your whole body.
Even dancing through one song takes just three minutes—seems doable, right? Plus, there’s no jumping, so it’s fine even in apartments.
SenbonzakuraWagakki Band
This song was produced by Kurousa-P and is well loved as a staple of Vocaloid music.
A later cover version by Wagakki Band is also well known, and many of you have probably heard it on music shows and the like.
The dance performed to Senbonzakura is packed with intense steps and full-body choreography to match the up-tempo track, and by the time the roughly four-and-a-half-minute song ends, you’ll likely be quite worn out! It also incorporates muscle-training moves like squats and lunges that target the lower body, so it seems highly effective as a workout.
“Make You Happy” jump-rope danceNiziU
Let’s dance a roughly 3-minute diet routine using the smash hit “Make You Happy” by NiziU, the Japan-born K-pop group! Speaking of this song, the jump rope dance in the chorus became a hot topic, and in this video that move is kept while the overall choreography is arranged specifically for a diet dance.
You’ll get a full-body workout by taking big steps, moving your arms, and even twisting your body!
