With the New Year right around the corner, we're sure you've come up with quite a few resolutions you'd want to follow. And we're also sure one of those will be to get back in shape as soon as you can. While most people tend to hit the gyms, the regularity and monotony of it eventually gets to them. So, if you're someone who likes to shake a leg, why not opt for some dance based workouts to help shed all those extra kilos?



Dancing can help curb health problems like cholesterol, blood pressure, heart conditions and so on, but the one thing it does with absolute perfection - an hour of dancing can burn up to 400 calories. So, here are a few dance forms that are sure to help you get rid of all that extra weight.



Belly dance: If you're looking to burn belly fat, then this is the ideal dance form to help you get a flat stomach. It burns thigh and abdominal fat, improves your posture and also keeps back and neck pains away.



Salsa: This one is a great exercise form if you're looking to workout with your partner. Just one hour of salsa class can help you burn around 400-500 calories. It'll also make you more active and will improve your reflexes.



Zumba: While it may not work out great for a party, if you're looking for a replacement for your workout session, Zumba will really come in handy. Apart from boosting your stamina, it can also work wonders in controlling heart problems, breathing problems as well as making your body more flexible.



So, which dance form will you opt for?
