Our very own desi style; from graceful moves to the latkas and jhatkas, Bollywood has them all!
Before you start tapping your feet, let’s see what your Exercise Ally has to say:
Start off by having a high carb meal an hour before your dance workout. A simple sprout salad, sandwich or fruits should do the trick. Then, grab a pair of comfortable shoes with socks and loose cotton clothes.
Now, here’s a quick 5-10 minute warm up, which will prevent injuries! All done? Let’s get grooving as Fortune VIVO Buddy teaches you how to dance away diabetes, one step at a time:

VIVO Buddy Tip: You’re doing a great job but don’t forget to breathe normally during the dance session and stay hydrated by sipping water regularly.

You’re getting better with each step. Time to jump a little and add some push to this routine…
