the best thing about dance is that you are having so much fun while exercising, it's not a chore at all even when exerting effort. part of it also is how fluid and intuitive it is which respects your natural physiology, biorythym, pacing, breathing etc.
this is why zumba is so popular right now. this is professional choreography but the jist is the same which is find an exercise you enjoy , then you will be inspired, not loathe it.
i love choreography. it's so creative and expressive. it's not only exercise but also artistic.
