ELLE wants to give girls who are busy with urban life a therapy to relieve stress, a secret to maintain a toned body, and significantly reduce excess fat without having to get tired of eating.
Temporarily forget about deadlines at work that can turn your day into a stressful one, turn off your phone to avoid receiving unnecessary calls and arguments, and join ELLE in pressing play on the familiar song Waka Waka.
Normally, with an Afro dance, in order for your body to become flexible and adapt to the shaking movements in the hips and thigh muscles, you should warm up lightly by running for 10 minutes to help the muscle areas relax.
Next, warming up the neck and shoulders will help your body adapt to the fast and strong movements in this vibrant dance.
ACTION 1
Bend your knees and click your heels continuously to the beat of the music.
MOVEMENT 2
Keeping your knees in a bent position creates momentum for the jump forward.
MOVEMENT 3
After two movements in a strong drum rhythm to create excitement, let your body `rest` for 2 minutes with flexible steps.
Kneeling high to lengthen your steps forward, the whole body will move according to the inertia of the steps to the slow, calm beat of the music.
