This is a pretty fun belly dance routine that involves a wide variety of moves that target the legs, butt, and thighs. There are lunges involved, so if you have weak knees, you may want to avoid this one, but otherwise it’s easy to do, and plenty of fun.
The video is, for the most part, pretty easy to follow. There were some times when I struggled to follow along when she increased the speed, especially at the end, so that’s why I didn’t give it full marks in Ease of Following.
There is some jumping in this routine, but you can do it more softly if you want to decrease the intensity. I don’t think that will make this workout apartment friendly, though.
Overall, this is a great little workout! It would be a good warm-up for a longer leg routine, or for a belly-dance or other dance routine, since it does work other parts of the body too. Give it a try and see where it fits into your regimen!
P.S. The yoga mat is completely optional; you might only need it if you are working on a hard surface, since the lunges have you resting your knee on the floor.
