Good Morning Marva. I hope you don't mind me posting this.

Fun Exercise Alternative: Dancing

Looking for a great way to get an aerobic workout while also having fun with your family and friends? Dancing has come a long way since the days of discotheques. Dance studios across the country now offer classes suitable for adults-from swing to salsa to tap. Plus, many community and religious centers sponsor weekly "dances," where people gather to socialize and participate in a joyful release of stress. Once or twice a week, try replacing your 20-minute walk with one of the following:

Take your spouse or a friend to a swing club or community "dance." Most clubs or "dances" offer free 30-minute lessons.
Try a class at a local dance studio. Ballet can be great for increasing your flexibility and improving your balance. Tap requires an investment in shoes, but offers an intense cardio workout.
Go out for a night of line dancing. Line dancing is most popular with country music and R&B fans.
Afraid to dance in public? Put on your favorite album, turn up the volume, and take a 20-minute spin around your house.
Remember, exercise shouldn't be a punishment or a chore. One of the keys to creating a fitness routine you can maintain is to find something you enjoy doing.
