(CNN) -- According to the American Council on Exercise, a top-notch exercise program should have three components: strength, flexibility and aerobic training.
But if you wouldn't be caught on a treadmill and you like to boogie, ACE has good news for you.
ACE experts say that dance can be an effective way to get the heart pumping and to burn calories -- and these days, no matter what kind of music you're into, there's a dance workout for you.
If hip-hop is what gets you off of the couch, check out Donna Richardson's "Old School Dance Party" workout, featuring the Sugar Hill Gang.
If you want to add a little spice to your low-impact workout, Crunch Fitness' "Cardio Salsa" will add a bit of Latin "flava" with moves like the meringue, mambo and the cha-cha.
Last but not least, how about some fitness Southeast Asia-style?
Fitness guru Sarina Jain, who calls herself the "Indian Jane Fonda," has just released "The Masala Bhangra Workout Volume 3."
Bhangra is a traditional dance from villages of Punjab, India and Jain has incorporated these moves into her new Bollywood-style workout.
As always, be sure to check with your doctor before you "groove on" with your new exercise program.
