Daily Fit Tip: Take up dancing

If you've never tried active ballroom dancing or something similar, you're really missing out on something that's good for the soul and the body. In fact, in some recent dancing classes I've witnessed, many were there simply to get their daily workout while having a load of fun.

What a novel idea! Make exercise fun (and really not even exercise), and it becomes more like a socially binding daily activity than the drudge of everyday exercise.

Be prepared to sweat and be tired a little, but dancing (in almost any form) gets those legs thumpin' and those hearts pumpin' -- and there's nothing wrong with that.
