There’s a cardio workout and then there is a dance cardio workout. Guess which one I like more? Besides my standing date with an outdoor jog every week, my favorite way to break a sweat in the house is by throwing on my favorite pair of biker shorts, a matching sports bra, and queueing up one of the best free dance workouts. Nothing beats trying to twerk and drop it low like Megan Thee Stallion in the comfort of my own home. If only my knees were as strong as hers.
But wishful thinking aside, YouTube is where you go for an introduction to belly dancing, Zumba, Bollywood, and literally every other dance style you can think of. Though dancing is a workout in and of itself, I appreciate choreography combined with exercise moves or methods, like HIIT (high-intensity interval training) and yoga. If you’ve yet to make plans for the next few days—besides binging yet another Netflix show—here are some free dance workouts to get you moving off the couch.
