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 Party video in the right hand column! (for the rest of this article click here)
Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

"We started using Body Balance just this past year. We have never seen anything like it! My husband, our 8-year-old son, and I all use this product every day. We are thrilled with the extra energy and vitality that we have all experienced. Our son has had some health challenges and is doing so much better since we have added Body Balance to his diet. We have recently turned on a lot of friends to the Life Force products, and they keep coming back for more! Thank you Life Force for these fantastic products!"

Weekly Fit Tip
PUSH TO THE TOP
All successful people are very productive. They work longer hours and they work better hours. They get a lot more done than the average person. They get paid more and promoted faster. They are highly respected and esteemed by everyone around them. They become leaders and role models. Inevitably, they rise to the top of their fields and to the top of their income ranges, and so can you.
EVERYTHING IS LEARNABLE
Every single one of these tested and proven strategies for managing your time and doubling your productivity is learnable through practice and repetition. Each of these methods will eventually become a habit of both thinking and working.
THE PAYROLL IS REMARKABLE
When you begin applying these techniques to your work and to your life, your self esteem, self confidence, self respect and sense of personal pride will go up immediately. The payoff for you will be tremendous, for the rest of your life.
MAKE A DECISION!
Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something. Significant change starts when you decide to either get in or get out, either fish or cut bait.
THE VITAL QUALITY OF SUCCESS
Decisiveness is one of the most important qualities of successful and happy men and women, and decisiveness is developed through practice and repetition, over and over again until it becomes as natural to you as breathing in and breathing out.
WHY PEOPLE ARE POOR
The sad fact is that people are poor because they have not yet decided to be rich. People are overweight and unfit because they have not yet decided to be thin and fit. People are inefficient time wasters because they haven't yet decided to be highly productive in everything they do.
BECOME AN EXPERT
Decide today that you are going to become an expert in time management and personal productivity, no matter how long it takes or how much you invest in it. Resolve today that you are going to practice these principles, over and over again until they become second nature.
ACTION EXERCISES
First, hold your own feet to the fire. Resolve to start earlier, work harder and stay later. Don’t let yourself off the hook. Second, become an expert in time management. Learn and practice time management techniques every day until they become habits.

"I want to thank you for all of your wonderful products! I had been suffering from foot discomfort for almost 10 years. Since taking the products - and I am sure it is the combination of all of them, but particularly the OsteoProCare - after about three months my feet were perfectly normal. It may also have something to do with the fact that I have lost about 30 pounds using the products. I have not even been trying to diet! I just think that when you get the proper nutrition you don't crave "junk food." I now crave my Body Balance! Life Force has been a great asset to both my physical and my financial health! Thank you for becoming a 'force' in my life!"

Chicken Calzones
Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- CRUST
2 1/4 cups bread whole-wheat flour
2/3 cup oat bran
1 1/2 teaspoons Rapid Rise yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
- FILLING
1 1/4 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1 1/4 cups non/lowfat ricotta cheese
3/4 cup non/lowfat grated mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons non/lowfat grated Parmesan cheese
3 baked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small strips or chunks
3/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- SAUCE
2 cups low-fat, low-sugar tomato sauce
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of the flour with the oat bran, yeast, sugar, and salt and stir well.
- Place the water in a saucepan, and heat on medium heat. Add the water to the flour mixture, and stir for 1-2 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to form a stiff dough.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour over a flat surface, and place the dough onto the surface.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes, gradually adding enough of the remaining flour to form a smooth ball. Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray (nonfat), and place the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let rise for about 30-40 minutes.
- When the dough has risen divide it into 6 portions, and shape each portion into a ball. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle.
- Combine all of the filling ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and stir well. Spread the filling on the top half of each circle of dough. Brush a little water around the outer edges of each circle, fold the bottom half over the top half, and firmly press the edges together to seal.
- Place the calzones on the baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15-18 minutes. Serve the calzones hot with warm sauce spread over top.
