Now that we are all watching Dancing with the Stars (sad that Cloris Leachman was eliminated-but I was not watching or voting so I did not help her), and You Say you can Dance and other similar shows- I have lost track), the Tango is becoming a craze for seniors who would like to regain lost balance.
Lack of balance is a problem for seniors and some of them are turning to Tango lessons for help. After reading an article in yesterday's National Post, it seems that taking Tango lessons is much more fun than regular exercise which is just as beneficial. Women attending the tango lessons replaced their sweats and sensible shoes with dresses, jewellery and heels. That counts me out. I gave up heels many years ago when I first started working and found that I preferred comfortable shoes to aching feet after a day of standing.
Many years ago, I tried dancerize for exercise when it first came out and found out that it really was not for me. I could not figure out the routines quickly enough. Hi or low impact fitness classes are my speed. When this warm weather ends and I can not get out everyday for some tennis- yes you read correctly, still playing tennis outdoors, I will head back to the gym. A group of us are making sure that we enjoy everyday in the fine weather that we are experiencing.
Guess the message from the article is that you can Tango or walk or as Nike says Just do it but make sure that you keep moving so that you don't loose your balance and fall.
