All movement is dance movement. Dance movement is physical motion with direction, purpose and rhythm. Even walking is dancing. Putting one foot in front of the other and swinging the arms freely in opposition requires rhythm, coordination and balance. This is why dance posture and dance principles are crucial when developing a physique that is structurally beautiful in design and gracefully artistic when in motion.

Dance movement makes the body appear more statuesque, balanced and centered. It can reduce the effect that gravity has on the body. Dance Movement also teaches you how to move and work your body in an anatomically correct fashion. This helps prevents accidents due to loss of balance or flexibility or coordination.

When you stretch and move freely you increase your range of motion which can protect your back from pain and injuries.

So what are you waiting for, Grab your dancing shoes and Let's Start Groovin'. For a Great Dance Training Video check out my Cardio Dance Jamm video in the right hand column! (for the rest of this article click here).

Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

Liquid Nutrition

"Body Balance is an amazing product. In addition to the increase in energy, loss of afternoon lull, leveling of emotions, increase in mental clarity, weight loss as the result of a decrease in appetite for unhealthy foods, I welcome the chance to mention an often missing piece - during times of increased stress, I increase from 2 - 4 ounces and perform at 100%"

Weekly Fit Tip

Portions: Listen to your body

Many diet plans tell you what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat it. This does not teach you how to attend to your own cravings, desires, or hunger. This teaches you nothing about living and feeling healthier and happier. Everyone has different strengths, weaknesses, and eating patterns.

You will only become successful when you learn to respond to your own feelings and not to what someone else says is right for you. It is critical that you learn how to be aware of and attend to both feelings of hunger and fullness, and learn what will satisfy you both physically and psychologically.

Your own body, not someone else's routine (i.e. my meal plans), is the very best guide for how much you need to eat. Try to get in the habit of tuning in to your internal cues of hunger, and not just eating the amount of food you think you should, or tuning in to external cues like the sight or smell of food. It's okay to eat any amount of food to feel both physically and psychologically satisfied. But you must learn to stop when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

You must believe in yourself. Listen to your body with regard to physical and psychological hunger. This will help you distinguish between what you really want and what you think you want due to habit. Once you've mastered this skill, you will be greatly empowered. Mastery will allow you to make the choices and be in charge of your life and your eating. These skills will last a lifetime, can be applied to every aspect of your life, and are absolutely critical to your success.

Fight Osteoporosis...

"For quite some time, I had trouble opening doors, opening jars and even shaking hands. After taking OsteoProCare for four weeks, my hands dramatically improved. It's great to be able to open doors and jars again! It has also improved my mobility tremendously. OsteoProCare is a fantastic product!"
