8 K-pop Dances That Will Help You Exercise
SBS

Ever want to exercise but don't want to physically get on the treadmill? Are you trying to get into K-pop but aren't sure if you'll be that into it? Or just need new music to help make your work out more fun? This article is for you!

I have looked through many K-pop dance videos and checked which ones are both fun and keep you moving. Whether you are a dancing machine or have two left feet, these K-pop dances will help you make your exercise less agonizing.

You will mainly follow the chorus since most people will recognize that part anyway. If you want to follow the whole choreography, you are more than welcome to. So grab your sweatpants, dancing shoes, and headphones because it is time to dance your heart out, K-pop style!

Each two songs will be leveled from easy to hard and I will add more honorable mentions in case you need more songs to exercise with. It's time to dance!

Easy:

Wonder Girls - “Nobody”

What you need to do:

This famous song by Wonder Girls is easy to follow and dance to if you're a K-pop beginner. The first chorus part is very easy. The main part of the dance is pointing as if you're dancing for someone special. As long as you get the pointing down, everything else will be fine. If you want to follow along with the group, watch the original music video here.


Big Bang - “Bang Bang Bang”

What you need to do:

If you are following the chorus, the main things you're doing will be moving your arms and hands because you will be swinging each arm above your head like you're cheering for your favorite football team. Then form one hand as a gun near the end of the chorus. What is great about this dance is that there aren't a lot of moves to really think about. So go on and become a Big Bang.


Medium:

2NE1 - “I am the Best”

What you need to know:

The only hard part in this dance is the bridge near the end of "I am the Best." It mainly focuses on your confidence and how you own it through its choreography. "I am the Best" is one of those dances where you unleash your badass self. While there are other parts, such as smoothing your hair during the chorus and the intro part, as long as you can let loose and are willing to freestyle it, you'll be the best.


Teen Top - “Rocking”

What you need to know:

The first chorus starts with moving and flexing your fingers like you're gesturing "blah blah" at someone, which is very easy. However, the hardest part about this dance is the leg work. It requires a lot of moving your feet and legs at a fast pace. This can be good for your lower body if you need to work on that. Otherwise, good luck and keep rocking!


Hard:

BTS (Bangtan Boys) - “Dope”

What you need to know:

From beginning to end, "Dope" requires many steps. I recommend watching each shot and mimicking the way they dance to this catchy beat. Similar to "I am the Best," this dance requires confidence and bringing your badassness. If you want to see how it looks in a music video, watch the video here.


G-Friend - “Rough”

What you need to know:

Like "Dope," "Rough" has many steps to follow. It also has a theme of time, and in a way, of being elegant. Watch each shot and practice how this Korean group dances to it. If you want to see how this girl group put it together, watch the dance version here. If you really want to challenge yourself, test yourself with the dance two times faster.

If you like these awesome tracks but want more, here are some honorable mentions with levels.

SHINee - "Lucifer" (Hard)

Orange Caramel - "My Copycat" (Medium)

Seventeen - "Mansae" (Medium)

Girls' Generation - "I Got a Boy" (Hard)

2PM - "Go Crazy" (Easy)

Apink - "No No No" (Easy)

Hope you all enjoy this exercising playlist. If it keeps you moving, then that's great! If you're reading this and not getting off of your bed, I hope you are exercising your mind with new music. Now dance away, and have fun!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
