By the way, when I am in France, I go to do the Boxing classes, and one of the best coaches in the boxers there is a former French champion in sport dancing.
– And what about discos in Nightclubs? Some go there to relieve stress on the weekends and dance all night until the morning. This is a useful exercise for the heart or bad load?
– If a person can dance all night, then most likely he’s using some kind of stimulant, in the best case, alcohol. It brings only harm. In General during exercise is very important regular. Even classes one or two times a week, but constantly and in the same time – it’s better than nothing. If you want to get real, tangible benefits, try to do every day.
