Male dancer in need of better workout!?
Question:
I've started going to the gym and already I have seen improvements in my body. I'm a bigger guy, 6'1 and 235lbs. I may not seem like the dancer type of body. I've enjoyed working out by lifting wieghts but I've already gotten negative responses from my dance teachers for doing so. They say I am bulking up rather than getting leaner. I started using the treadmill but this led to knee problems and bulkier legs muscles that prevented me from completing my lines (dancer talk...sorry). I started using the elyptical and this made it better.
I eat very healthy. Granola cereal or eggs in the morning, a light lunch and low fat chicken skillet for dinner.
What a better work out for getting leaner but at the same time getting stronger?
i really dont have a better answer for you sorry but i was just suprised that i found another dancer on here! im 17, 5'4 and i wiegh 140 lbs. not the dancer type of body either. but i do hip hop and dance team so its ok. i would say take a cardio class at your gym. i do those and they are tons of fun and ive already lost 10 lbs from it. good luck!
