Twerking to loud, rhythmic music is not only fun, but also a really intense work-out, because it combines endurance training and weight training. The dance style has many positive effects on your body and will make you sweat faster than you think. On the one hand, twerking strengthens the leg muscles, because due to the special posture you are almost permanently in a position that you might know from squats. The light squat activates mainly the thigh and pomus muscles. The calves are also strengthened. On the other hand, the so-called core muscles are also enormously important in twerking and are stressed in the dance style. The abdominal muscles and also the back are also challenged and trained by twerking. Since these muscle groups are responsible for straight posture, twerking can improve it. Twerking also helps to boost self-esteem. Many women who twerk regularly report that the dance style makes them feel more comfortable in their bodies and especially sexy and attractive. Besides, it can build up your stamina in the long run.
