From belly dancing to cardio barre, gyms are adding more dance classes to keep pace with this popular fitness craze. Dance-inspired classes make exercising so much fun it won’t feel like you are exercising at all.

Here are some of the more popular classes you may find at your local fitness center:

Cardio Barre: This is a low-impact, higher-intensity, ballet-inspired workout. Combining light weights and bar work, tone and strengthen your glutes, arms, legs and core.

Zumba: A mix of Latin and international music that incorporates body-sculpting movements and easy-to-follow dance steps.

You’re off to a great start on your new fitness program. A fitness tracker may be just what you need to stay motivated and track your progress.

Choosing the right fitness tracker can be daunting. Classified as “wearable technology,” fitness trackers can be used as simple devices to track distance walked, run or biked or as technology companions to monitor your sleep and lifestyle patterns, acting as a kind of fitness coach.

The key to fitting in fitness when you’re busy is to come up with a few tricks to keep yourself moving despite a hectic schedule. Here are 5 ways to stay fit even as your to-do list lengthens:

Eating just one medium banana provides 422 milligrams of potassium, which can help prevent muscle cramps and soreness. An average banana also contains about 30 grams of low-glycemic carbohydrates, making it a choice fuel source.
