Exercise-the key to physical fitness.

Dancing

      Dancing is one of the most effective ways to exercise many of the muscles in the body. While other exercises only require the use of the lower body muscles and others require the upper body muscles, dancing gives a "total-body" work-out. Oftentimes, dancing relaxes and energizes the person. According to the Nutrition Almanac "Studies show that steps such as the cha-cha, polka, samba, Viennese waltz, and the East and West Coast swing can easily raise the average persons heart rate enough to achieve an aerobic conditioning effect." (G. Kirshmann, Nutrition Almanac)
