  1. Dance & Physical Fitness • Dance is considered a DISCIPLINE because it requires the use of one’s MENTAL faculties to produce the PHYSICAL activity • Dance combines planned, orderly, and simultaneous use of locomotor and non-locomotor movements.

  2. Physical Fitness Consists of five (5) health related aspects which include: • Body Composition • Strength • Cardiovascular Endurance • Muscular Endurance • Flexibility A dancer must possess high fitness levels in all five health related aspects of Physical Fitness.

  3. BODY COMPOSITION Defined as: The overall make-up of the body in muscle, bone, fat, and other tissues. BODY COMPOSITION, as it relates to personal fitness, is the one aspect of physical fitness over which you have the greatest personal control.

  4. BODY COMPOSITION Overweight vs. Overfat You can make no realistic determination of how “fat” you are by your weight. Your Body Mass Index (B.M.I.) is determined by: Height, Body Frame, Weight Body Mass Index (BMI)/Body Fat Analysis: BMI below 18.5% = Low BMI between 18.5-24.9 = Recommended BMI between 25.0-29.9 = High BMI above 30.0 = Very High/Obese

  5. BODY COMPOSITION • Diets do not affect the fundamental problem of the overweight/overfat person. • Losing weight is not the basic problem; the problem is gaining weight. • People differ radically in their tendency to get fat. The same person can change radically in his/her lifetime. • Getting fat is largely a matter of eating too much and exercising too little.

  6. BODY COMPOSITION • It is not the fat that is so bad; it is the lack of athletically trained muscle that is at the root of it all. • The ultimate cure for obesity is EXERCISE. AEROBIC EXERCISE -- For maintaining MODERATE fitness *Minimum of 12+ minutes of sustained exercise *Optimum is 20 minutes of sustained exercise *3x per week FYI: Body begins to burn fat-stores at 20 minutes of sustained AEROBIC exercise.

  7. BODY COMPOSITION *Fitness is LOST if you exercise two (2) days or less a week. *Fitness is MAINTAINED if you exercise three (3) days a week. *Fitness is IMPROVED if you exercise six (6) days a week.
