Shannon Shapes Up: How to Get Full-Body Cardio From Dancing

Welcome back everyone all week. Our Shannon Lanier has been road testing. Different workouts. Yeah. Rock climbing. Indoor surfing today. He's doing dance cardio. A lot of people getting into this. Shannon. Good morning. Hey, you see, we're already warming up getting our dance on. Sadie Hersman is here and we were at three oh five Fitness. Now, Sadie is the founder of these classes and they are intense. We've seen people like shaking it, moving, it, it, but it looks like they're having a lot of fun. How did you come up with this concept and make it different from all the other dance classes we've been to. Absolutely. So, working out doesn't have to suck. That's the whole idea behind three oh five Fitness. It's fun. It's rowdy. You know, it's just, it's supposed to be a party. So, if you hate running, if you hate cardio, you hate going to the gym. This is your antidote. It's just a lot of fun. Ok. So how would you say this is different from some of the other classics? I bet my wife has drugged me to a few dance classes before. And I'm like, ok, we'll do it. And they were fun. But how does this take it to the next level? So, different from other dance classes, I would say that this is not like pre professional, this is not, you don't have to follow the steps, you know, super, super easy to follow along and more of a workout disguised as a party than an actual dance class. Oh, see, everyone likes to party. So that's easy. You got me a party? Ok. So how long are the classes? And do you have any idea how many calories we could possibly burn? So, classes are typically 45 minutes. And I want you to imagine you're burning as many calories as you would if you were running, you know, so think about a brisk walk up hill or think about a nice jog, even think about a sprint. So your heart rate is gonna hit 100 and 80 100 and 90 in this class and you might burn depending on your weight and your age, anything from 300 all the way up to 600 calories. Ok. Now some people may be a little intimidated saying I don't know how to dance. So you say we don't have to follow all the professional. So can you give me an example of some of the moves that we're gonna be doing? So we could just put our arms up in the air. We could do a little turn, little, turn a little turn, little turn off, turn to the side and pop it like a donkey. A, I'm gonna show you some more moves soon. Right. We gotta do a whole class. I've been driving a lot of jumping jacks about jumps and squash. Really jumps and squatch and popping. Like, almost like, and what about the music? You know, that's a big part of the party. What type of music can we expect? Yep. So, electronic music, hip hop, top 40 all the stuff you would hear at the club, all the stuff you would hear at the radio. Just a lot of fun. So who would you say this class is perfect for someone's like, oh, I don't know if it's for me who anybody who hates cardio if you hate cardio but you know, you gotta do it three oh five is the answer for you. That's right. Like it's just a mundane. You're just running on a treadmill, you're doing your normal stuff. So this is really gonna get us going. Yeah, let's say you're that person that you want to get in shape. You haven't found that thing that stuck. I think three oh five might be perfect for you. OK. Well, let's get to dancing right now and when we come back here in about 30 minutes, we're gonna show you some of the national class moves. Oh, we're gonna show you some moves. So get ready. I want y'all dancing there at the studio too. Bakery, Hannah. No problem. I was gonna say no problem. We dance every dance. Yes. No problem at all. Thanks to Shannon.
