The popular dancer and heartthrob Toni Costa, known for his smooth moves on Telemundo's famous dance show, shares 5 tips to stay FIT and Happy.

Dance to improve your health

Dancing not only improves your mood but also helps you burn calories, regain energy, and sleep better. I love to dance, and it's something I also teach my daughter Alaia. Moving your body generates serotonin, making you happier and healthier. I invite you to hit the dance floor to the rhythm of Latin beats and get in shape. You can burn up to 600 calories by grooving to the Latin flavor.

• You develop stronger muscles

• Improve your balance and coordination

• You will have stronger bones

• Less risk of dementia

• Less stress

• More energy

• Burn calories

• Lose weight

I recommend drinking water throughout the day to stay hydrated and avoid mistaking thirst for hunger. Personally, I drink a minimum of 12 glasses of water a day. Remember, not sodas, juices, or horchata water, but pure water. I used to struggle with drinking enough water until I discovered the Aloe Vera Water from #yesyoucan, and now I make sugar-free popsicles for my daughter. My favorite flavors are Hibiscus Flower and Mango.

Take it step by step

One day at a time. I know you want to get in shape for the beach in just two months, but it doesn't work that way. Your body needs time for various adaptations to occur (muscular, circulatory, etc.). If you push yourself too hard, you risk getting injured or burning out before seeing results. I recommend treating it as a marathon, a lifestyle change. Set realistic goals, like losing 3 pounds per week, 12 pounds per month, or 30 pounds in 90 days.

Plan Your Meals

Regardless of what you're doing, prepare your meals in advance to increase your chances of achieving your goals. It's best to prepare today's meals the day before or cook once a week to save calories and money. This ensures that you don't eat just anything or skip meals. I really like the option of meal replacement with Yes You Can! Because when I'm on the go, it helps me a lot and keeps me satisfied. When I pick up my daughter from school, I have my sugar-free shake ready to get my daily protein intake. My favorite flavor is Dulce de Leche.

Don't forget to eat

Remember, it's about eating more of the right foods, not starving yourself. Eating less can hinder your performance at the gym and lower your metabolism. Aim to eat five times a day and consume nutritionally rich foods. Make sure your diet is varied and don't completely eliminate any macronutrients because our bodies need fuel. Remember, we eat to live, not live to eat.
