With changing of seasons from warm to cold, many of us become a bit less active and start fighting the winter blues, a common disorder which affects many people- women especially.  A common problem is we put on some extra weight often making us feel less attractive, lower energy and overall unhappy with ourselves. In turn this can affect our relationships drastically- we start to pull away, cover up and avoid bed room fun.

So what exercises can you do to beat the blues this winter? We think that these options are fantastic ideas to keep you active, healthy and feel sexier this winter time. We are sure your partner will appreciate some of the moves you learn too!

1.Salsa Dancing

Not only does this dance allow you to burn over 200 calories in just 30 minutes, it makes you move those hips. You will learn how to move your body in a sensual way to Latin music and tone those legs.  This will also give you and your partner a sexier choice of activity to do together.

2.Pole DancingOnce only looked at as an exotic way of dancing, now this is a top fitness work out for women everywhere. This is a total body workout. It forces you to use muscles in the body-including the minor ones not usually used.  Plus with the opportunity to buy a portable pole, you can show off your new moves at home!

3.Belly Dancing
