Dance fitness classes like step aerobics and Zumba Gold offer a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness while enjoying camaraderie and support. Classes are available for almost any fitness and skill level.
Ready to dance your way to fitness? Experts offer this advice: If you have arthritis in your spine or your weight bearing joints (feet, ankles, hips and knees), look for a low-impact class. Start out slowly and pace yourself. Begin with one class weekly, and add more classes and increase your speed as you become more fit. Wear supportive shoes, and if you have balance issues, keep a chair or cane nearby to steady you. If you have any heart issues, be sure to speak with your doctor before you start. These joint-protecting modifications and tips will help you get dancing.
