It’s never too late to start engaging in a healthy lifestyle, especially when it only takes a few steps and adjustments to get your body and mind on the right track to health. Through the right fitness routines and exercise, as well as dietary changes and reprograming your mindset, you’ll find your well-being, health, and lifestyle significantly improve and become more pleasurable.
Getting On Track
Depending on the individual, there are numerous different ways to start being healthy but for most people, it’s easiest to commit to the lifestyle change one change at a time, with nothing too drastic. The route of fitness is a great place to start but it’s difficult to find the right type of exercise best suited for your body.
Nia Dance is a gentle, free-flowing form of movement and exercise that provides similar (and more) mental and health benefits like that of other, more intense, fitness types. It’s an excellent practice and fitness form for those looking to reap the health benefits without putting strain on your body through intense and rigorous workouts.
Nia Dance Health Benefits
As previously mentioned, Nia Dance provides a wide range of physical and mental health benefits without the need for excessive workouts that tire you out and make you sweat. This is because Nia Dance is about becoming in-tune with your body and listening to its needs, rather than forcing movements. Movements that don’t work for you, you adapt and adjust to your abilities and needs, which creates your own style within Nia Dance.
Nia Dance is a non-impact form of exercise, comprised of a total of 52 movements that are adapted from martial arts, dance arts, and healing art forms. This unique blend of movement and practices combined with the knowledge on the design of the human body is how Nia Dance can provide so many incredible health benefits to your body, mind, and life.
The benefits of Nia Dance include weight loss, energised and productive mood, strengthened muscles, improved organ function, support in circulation, mental clearness and calmness, emotional balance, alleviation of symptoms of depression and anxiety, and much, much more.
