      We are not like good girls. We should wear skirts in a pink color, chains in exquisite styles, clothes cut close to the body, and we should look slim when we walk. The age of well-behaved beauties has passed. Before we enter the elegant age, let us first experience the freedom and freedom, otherwise it will not be called perfect youth.

      Principle of fat loss:

      During dance, all motor cells can be mobilized to consume body fat. At the same time, it can also shape local muscles.

      The entire set of movements includes various foot skills, such as walking, running, jumping, etc., as well as combined movements such as rotation, flexion and extension, and wave-shaped twisting of the joints of the head, neck, shoulders, and limbs. Each movement can have a local fitness effect.

      When stepping on the beat, the movements of the feet are relatively simple, basically exchanging the center of gravity left and right; the upper body follows the shift of the center of gravity and makes an overall left-right swing. Bend your arms upward, then cross them, and make two beats; then open your arms to both sides, open your palms outward, and sink your left and right elbows twice respectively, and your waist should also sink accordingly. When focusing on a certain side of the movement, slightly twist the upper body to that side to emphasize the range of the movement.

      Maintain the action in Group A, and then follow the rhythm on the fourth beat to let the upper body move forward twice, open the arms forward, and follow the upper body to draw an arc on the front of the body; one of the rhythms includes a fast leg movement. Stretch your right hand upwards, your left hand downwards, and take a step back with your left foot at the same time; then take a step back with your right leg on the next beat, bend your legs slightly, and quickly retract your hands to your chest; open your hands on the next beat, look to the left, and take a step with your right foot at the same time. With the last beat, retract your right leg and close your palms.

      Take a step with your left foot to the left, with the forefoot of your foot touching the ground. With the center of gravity still on your right leg, pull your upper body upward to the right, and make two beats on each side. In the next two beats, the body makes a wave from bottom to top, as if conducting electric current, and then makes another wave from top to bottom.

      Bend your forearms slightly, raise your hands high, and move your body forward. On the second beat, bend your left hand in front of your body, close to your right shoulder, and move your right hand back toward your back. At the same time, take a step forward with your right foot, keeping your center of gravity on your left foot. In the third beat, both feet jump back one step at the same time. In the fourth beat, the left arm is straightened and hit the ground. The right arm is relaxed and slightly bent. The left foot takes a step forward and the heel touches the ground. In the fifth beat, raise your left leg and knee, use your waist strength to control your body balance, lean your upper body slightly backward, and at the same time straighten your left hand and stretch it to the right in front of your body; in the sixth beat, do the same as above, do it once on the right side.

      In the last shot, take a step to the left with your left foot, stretch your waist and shoulders to the left, and turn your head to the right. In the second half of this shot, you need to immediately retract your right leg, and then turn your head completely to the left.

      hint:

      Don't feel that there are obstacles in learning new things at the beginning. In fact, hip-hop is really simple. If you grasp the rhythm well and learn with the teacher confidently, you will see good results within a week.

      Tips for learning hip-hop:

      First of all, you must learn to listen to music, find the right rhythm, and let your body move with the rhythm; secondly, although you cannot imitate the coach's movements, try to imitate them as well as possible, carefully watch the coach's steps, and then add upper body movement exercises; it is very important that beginners of hip-hop do not suddenly increase the amount of exercise, and leave more interest for the next practice, but you must learn a few moves, otherwise you will easily give up without a sense of accomplishment.
