If you’re looking for a fun way to exercise that doesn’t involve long runs or lifting weights, then Jazzercise is perfect for you. According to their website, “Jazzercise is a pulse-pounding, beat-pumping fitness program that gets you results fast. It’s a calorie-torching, hip swiveling dance party.” Their fast paced class is so fun that you’ll forget you’re exercising.
If you’re considering taking up Jazzercise as a form of of physical activity, then it’s easy to start. Once you find a class near you, the only equipment you’ll need to bring along is the best jazzercise shoe you can find.
What To Look For in a Jazzercise Shoe
Comfort
The fun motions of Jazzercise will have you constantly on the move. You’ll want to make sure your shoe of choice is comfortable and doesn’t hurt when you move around in it. If your shoe rubs or slips, then you may want to try something else.
Flexibility
From shuffling across the floor to flexing and pointing, your feet are going to be doing a lot of moving. In order to make certain you’re getting the most out of your Jazzercise class you’ll want to choose a shoe that has great flexibility in the sole.
Lightweight
There is no need to weigh yourself down with clunky shoes. You’ll already be getting enough of a cardio workout without that extra weight. When choosing the shoes you’ll wear to class, pick a sneaker that feels light and airy.
Support
With all of the moving you’ll be doing, it is very important to purchase a shoe with the proper amount of support. Not only will this decrease the risk of injury, but it’ll keep your feet feeling fine throughout class.
Minimal Traction
While some form of traction is necessary in order to keep yourself from slipping during class, you don’t want a shoe with too much traction as they will prevent you from freely moving. In fact, too much traction on your shoe could actually increase your risk of injury. Stay away from running shoes in order to avoid purchasing a shoe with too much traction.
