If you get bored during "traditional" cardio (running, walking, biking, endless hours on the elliptical), we're insisting you try dance cardio. Choose your music and your routine right, and you're basically guaranteed to have a great time. And take it from us: you really can't go wrong with a Latin dance workout. Some routines teach you to salsa, jive, or mambo; others have you jumping around to infectious remixes. Either way, you'll be having so much fun, you won't realize how hard you're working until the music stops and you're dripping sweat.
We're sharing our seven favorite Latin dance cardio workouts ahead to get you moving and re-energize your cardio routine. Thank us later, because right now it's time to move, groove, and get to sweating!
