If the thought of working out makes you inwardly groan, you’re not alone. According to researchers from the University of British Columbia, the human brain might innately be more attracted to a sedentary lifestyle, which explains why it’s sometimes hard to find the motivation to do aerobic exercises most days. Our suggestion? Find something fun that doesn’t feel like working out at all — like aerobic activities in the form of dance! Trust us, and you don’t have to be good at dancing to do any of these.

Disney Dance Cardio Party for a 50-Minute Workout

Kids-at-heart will enjoy this cardio party by 305 Fitness, which hosts fun dance classes online like their Disney Dance Cardio Party. Classes aren’t limited to adults—they're open to the whole family! If you have a younger brother or sister, then let them join in on the fun. Sing and dance together to upbeat versions of Mulan’s “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” or The Little Mermaid’s “Part of Your World.” The 50 minutes might not even feel like a workout, and you’ll burn about 300 to 500 calories in just one session.

Cleanse your hair after every workout to keep it healthy. If you want to grow it to Disney princess lengths, then try Sunsilk Strong & Long Shampoo, which not only has biotin, it also has aloe vera to deeply nourish and strengthen hair so you can grow it as long as you want.

Just Dance for Some Friendly Competition

Ever heard of the game Just Dance? It’s a free mobile game you can download on your phone and cast to the TV. You can play it by yourself, in teams, or against other players.

There are more than 500 available songs, including “Kill This Love” by BLACKPINK, “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee, and “Taki Taki” by DJ Snake featuring Selena Gomez, Ozuna, and Cardi B. It’s easy to copy the moves while getting a workout, and you can choose how fast or slow the rhythm is, depending on the song. Try playing it with family or friends and get a laugh out of it, too!

Be sure to stay fresh and confident while dancing by using a deodorant like Rexona Shower Clean Roll-on. The MotionSense technology helps you stay sweat and odor-free for up to 48 hours.

Live Love Party for Those Who Love to Zumba

Live Love Party never fails to bring the Latin fitness craze to your home. It will keep you moving non-stop the moment you press play. If you love Zumba, then dance to the calorie-burning moves of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s “Senorita.” An hour of doing Zumba can burn as much as 800 calories, depending on your weight and the intensity of your dance.

Working out doesn’t have to feel like a chore. These dance-like aerobic exercises can surely spice things up and make every sweat session enjoyable. Just be sure to take a nice, cold shower after using Dove Relaxing Lavender Body Wash to pamper your tired muscles and freshen yourself!
