Dancing With The Stars Rx For Achy Muscles!

                           Dance Up A Storm! 

Dancing With The Stars starts a new season Sept. 24th.
This season will be different- how? All of the contestants
have been on the show before, stars like...

Emmitt Smith, Melissa Rycroft, Drew Lachey and of course
Kirstie Allie.
If you only watch the show for the dancing and to see the costumes, 

why not change that and take up dancing?
Take up dancing?

That's right- according to new research-dancing can make your

you healthier in a number of ways, like... A better memory, fewer
aches and pains and weight loss and weight maintenance.

Firstly, let's start with memory.
If you take up ballroom or tap, remembering the intricate steps
is a great way for you to build up your memory. And learning these
dance steps at 50, 60 or 70 is a great way to stave off Alzheimer's
and it'll keep you active.

Secondly, fewer aches and pains?
Yes, as you age you're more likely to
slow down and become less active- big mistake. Dancing helps you
stretch and tone muscles, improve flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness.
Word of caution: If dancing is too much, start with gentle stretching and
beginner's yoga.

Thirdly, Lose and maintain weight-
Ever notice the dancers and their trim physiques?
Well, they don't get if from hours at the gym or on the treadmill.
If weight is an issue and you're not able to stick with weightlifting 

or spinning classes, perhaps a dance class is just what you need.

That's It- Some health lessons from "Dancing With The Stars!"

Good Luck!
