How often should I do dance classes?

It’s important to complete aerobic exercises, such as dance, most days of the week to reap substantial health benefits. The Activity Guidelines for Americans suggests getting at least 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly or 75-150 minutes of vigorous exercise each week, plus muscle-strengthening workouts at least two times weekly. 

You might choose dance or other forms of aerobic exercise (swimming, jogging, walking, rowing, etc.) to meet these cardiovascular exercise requirements and/or achieve or maintain an ideal body weight.
