Exercise for the Elderly

Reasons To Do The Dance Workout At Your Local Gym

Looking for a fun way to exercise? Dance Exercise is great and most gyms offer this for their members. Dancing is no longer just for the young, but for everyone who is young at heart.

Sixty percent of us did dancing of some form as a child and most of us now regret hanging up our dancing shoes so soon, and would love to go back to it, but now think we are too old. Now is the time to dust off those old leotards and leg warmers and get back onto the dance floor.

Most woman have an inbuilt desire to dance, and if offered the opportunity to dance again, as well as lose some weight and tone up while doing it, will jump at the opportunity.

You can either call up your nearest dance studio and enquire about what they have to offer in the form of adult dancing classes, or you can check out the classes at your local gym. You might be surprised at what they have to offer in the way of fitness and dance classes.

A lot of the gyms have jumped on the band wagon and started to teach dance as an exercise form, and it is proving very popular. Zumba classes are the in thing at the moment. These are based on the Latin American form of dance and involve a lot of fast movements using a lot of hip movements and quick direction changes. If you watch the class, the women look like they are in seventh heaven they are having so much fun. The focus is on fun and fitness, and it really doesn’t matter what you look like, so you can lose all your inhibitions.

When you dance, your body is working muscles that don’t usually feature when doing other forms of exercise. Your body awareness will improve, as you will be made constantly aware of your posture.

Another benefit of doing dancing classes at the gym is that your heart rate will increase, as the movements are fast and high energy. Bone density and core stability will be vastly improved. You will no doubt end up with a strong and toned body.

As well as the physical benefits, your brain will also get a great workout. It takes a lot of concentration to get all your dance steps to flow.

Need any more reasons? You will feel incredibly sexy dancing to the exhilarating latin rhythms. So find a new way to express yourself, leave your inhibitions at home and enjoy your dance workout.

50 Athletes Over 50 Teach Us To Live A Strong, Healthy Life $19.95 DISCOVER HOW ATHLETES OVER 50 LEAD EXTRAORDINARY LIVES!What does it take to continue to participate in athletic activities and sustained exercise later in life? How does it differ from managing these activities when you are in your 20’s or 30’s? Do you wonder if, or when, you have to give up your physical activities? You will be intrigued and inspired by the answers to these questions from Don McGrath’s book about 50 interviews of athletic people over 50 years old. True stories from his spectacular interviewees will inspire you like no others. Many of McGrath’s subjects never imagined that they would be role models for exercise and good health. Still, by applying a common set of characteristics, they have broken remarkable mental and physical barriers to succeed. Peek into the lives of Linda Quirk who ran seven marathons on seven continents at age 55, and in 2010 plans to run across four of the world’s largest deserts; Sandy Scott, 69, who broke a vertebrae at age 65 and four years later won a state cycling 20k championship; or 75-year-old veteran tap dance Gene GeBauer. With U.S. health concerns at the forefront, the athlete’s way of life helps us to understand how to take responsibility for our well being. Lessons learned from these interviews can help us avoid doctors’ offices, stave off diseases, and have more joy and contentment. In his final summary, McGrath examines the behaviors and attitudes necessary for all of us to have health and satisfaction through an active life. If you want to know the secrets of those who are still going strong in athletic activities in their later years, then this is the book for you.
