Crank Up the Volume and Dance!

Like other moderate, low-impact, weight bearing activities, such as brisk walking, cycling or aerobics, dancing can help:

strengthen bones and muscles without hurting your joints

tone your entire body

improve your posture and balance, which can prevent falls

increase your stamina and flexibility

reduce stress and tension and
build confidence

provide opportunities to meet people

ward off illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, and depression

So if you're tired of the treadmill and looking for a fun way to stay fit and healthy, it might be time to kick up your heels!

Don't want to dance in public? Then dance in the privacy of your own living room.
