Nowadays, relaxing and keeping fit is everyone’s concern and I am not an exception. Since I am very busy, I can’t arrange time for some frequent activities as often as when I was a student. However, in order to stay fit and enjoy ourself, me and my friend register for a dancing class, which is held twice a week.
Unlike running on the treadmill, dancing is more fun. It helps me burn a lot of energy. In addition, it enhances my flexibility with a lot of stretching movements. Dancing also allows me to work on all the parts of my body. You might look at dancers and think that dancing is light and easy, but you are wrong. In order to be that flexible and light, dancers have to work on their core muscles to maintain their stamina. However, the main part I love about dancing is that it gives me chance to talk with many people who share the same interest as me. Sometime we have a small party after practices whenever we did that all of my stress at work gone.
By maintaining a schedule of dancing twice a week, I successfully manage to keep fit. Not only that, dancing helps me release stress especially after a hard working day.
