Do you think Prancercise is real?
Prancercise is not going to get you athletically conditioned. It’s not going to make you a better athlete or help you lose pounds fast. It is, however, a fun way to act silly, increase your heart rate a little bit, and help you get back into the swing of things if you are out of shape or have a mobility limitation.
Does it really work? It looks like fun though!
it can be useful if you have limited mobility or want a low impact exercise, specifically if you are coming off of surgery or have some other condition that limits your ability to be active.
Will Prancercise Actually Help You Lose Weight?
It’s a low impact, low to moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise that seemingly makes you prance around.
