Strength or Cardio?
I take 2 dance classes a week that will count toward 2 of my workouts. I have a tap/jazz class that actually lasts 3 hours, but there is a lot of standing around, so I'm recording it as 1 hour cardio. I also have a ballet class that lasts about 2 hours.
When recording workouts on the Self site, you can choose activities from a pull down menu. It seems to say that ballet is cardio. The movement, the dancing itself is . . . but the barre work isn't very aerobic at all and is quite the muscle worker. Does it seem reasonable to you guys for me to record this as strength? For a 2 hour class about 1/2 hour of it is barre work and there is a bit of standing around while waiting for turns (in doing turns down the floor), so I figured I'd record it as 1 20 minute strength, one hour of cardio. Does this sound reasonable to people? Anyone with dance experience that it sounds reasonable to?
Thanks in advance! :)
