Your legs and back are the most surprising muscles you will feel while ballroom dancing. In dances such as the Foxtrot and the Waltz, women use their legs for an extended period of time to take long sweeping steps backward. Therefor, the buttocks and back of the thighs get more of a workout than with jogging and most other exercises.
While ballroom dancing you are also required to hold a proper postures with your partner, so expect to feel sore soar arms and a back within the first month. You begin to feel new muscles developing and less aches in only a few months.
