Workouts should be fun and relaxing as much as they should be effective in keeping one fit. If we don’t enjoy an exercise session, it is highly unlikely we’ll make a habit of it. That’s why many people dance as a form of exercise. So, to cure quarantine boredom and get you moving, we have a list of dance numbers with fun choreography that you can learn and practice as a workout. Free and fun!
Start with ‘Lucky Boy’ to stretch your muscles and feel like a goddess at the same time
The steps to this song are not difficult to learn, so this is a good song to start with. The best part is looking in the mirror and feeling like a diva while practicing the moves for a bit of confidence-boost.
If you type on your computer all day, stretch your arms and shoulders with ‘Tumse Milke Dil Ka’
Another song which doesn’t involve very difficult steps, this has a lot of hand and shoulder movements which can help you stretch your shoulder and arm muscles. If you sit and type on the computer all the time, this can help give you a relaxing change of movement to those sore wrist and shoulder joints.
‘It’s The Time To Disco’ might be an old song now, but the choreography is still great cardio
Fun yet involving a bit of jumping and twisting, this song’s steps look so easy to recreate because the actors make it look enjoyable instead of a task. Memorise the steps from start to finish!
‘Le Gayi Le Gayi’ is another oldie but goodie with moves to learn
A classic dance number, this has foot work, waist movements, arm stretches, and a whole lot of steps to work out different muscles in your body.
‘Crazy Kiya Re’ has steps which are somewhat easy to pick up and make for an easy beginner’s workout
Some cringed at this song while others loved it. Regardless of that, it’s a good workout and isn’t too intensive. Including it between more intense dance workouts helps give your body a break but keep moving at the same time.
Deepika Padukone’s moves in ‘Love Mera Hit Hit’ are easy to learn and a good workout
Choreographed by Farah Khan, this song has a lot of aerobics-style steps that can help you work out muscles other songs’ steps won’t. That makes the choreography of this song a must-learn!
If you want to get fit and feel like a diva at the same time, then ‘Mehboob Mere’ is the song to learn
90s kids grew up re-watching this song’s video and most of us probably tried to do the steps back then. It’s time to refresh our memory and learn the moves again. Who needs squats when you can dip low like queen Sushmita?
Another song we ALL copied is ‘You Are My Sonia’
Relive your childhood, work out your muscles, have fun, and burn calories in the process while dancing to this song.
Whether it’s for a sangeet or an impromptu dance session in your bedroom, ‘Dilli Wali Girlfriend’ is a bop
This song is great for strengthening your leg muscles because you have to balance yourself on the toes and balls of your feet for the hook step.
‘Aahun Aahun’ is sure to bring out the bhangra-lover in you
If you can do Deepika’s dance solo from this song, we will salute you for the flexibility and balance.
The sheer amount of jumping and acrobatic steps in ‘Dola Re Dola’ make it a great workout song
You’d think this song is easy hand movements, but the amount of leg and waist work is seriously difficult.
‘Khwab Dekhe’ from Race also has loads of steps that will help stretch your muscles
While everyone talks about how good Katrina’s dancing in ‘Zara Zara Touch Me’ was, we think this song makes for a better workout.
Those who are slightly better dancers and can master the steps can try learning the steps to ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ too
The OG ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ is proof of what a great dancer Urmila Matondkar is. That said, the steps aren’t terribly difficult, and the song makes for a fun trip down memory lane.
How fun will a workout be if you learn the hook step of ‘Ek Pal Ka Jeena’?
Remember how every kid tried to learn the steps to this song? Well, re-learning them now is a great idea if you want to be fit like Hrithik!
If you have a lot of space to work out in, there’s nothing like ‘Nagada Sang Dhol’
This song is not just about twirling and clapping your hands. There is so much foot, leg, and waist work involved that mastering the steps to this song is a mammoth task. But, if you can accomplish it, consider yourself a great dancer.
For those who want to learn the moves to some international numbers too, BTS’ ‘Boy With Luv’ is perfect
We will warn you: this song’s choreography is incredibly difficult to learn. That’s why the band released an entire choreography video of the moves, to help break down the moves for those of us struggling with the steps.
