Dance Your Way To Fitness

Because Geezer is blessed with that truly remarkable sense of rhythm for which middle-aged men of northern European extraction are well known, loved ones have advised him to think carefully before jumping in to the latest exercise trend, which can be summed up in three words: dance, dance, dance. Both the A.P. and the Los Angeles Times have reported on the movement, with the Associated Press piece coming out of a dance studio in Atlanta. The story quotes
Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist and a vice president
with the American Council on Exercise, saying that the dancing for exercise is unfolding all across the country.  The LA Times reports on a disco loop class that begins with a workout on machines–all in time to music- and moves to a dance floor, then back to the machines. Sounds like fun, at least for those who can dance. Geezer may listen to loved ones, for once, and sit this one out.
