PART ONE

"How can I use Bollywood dance and fitness to help me age gracefully and enhance my physical appearance?"

"Ageing affects every aspect of your body, from your organs and bones to your muscles and joints. But that doesn't mean your physical health has to decrease as you get older. Taking proactive steps to boost your well-being can bring a dramatic difference to your life in the future.

"Start with exercise, perhaps the Bollywood Workout or any method you're drawn towards. An active lifestyle can help you maintain strength, flexibility, endurance and balance and let you age gracefully. Strength training is especially important for women, whose bone density peaks in their early thirties and declines sharply after menopause. Regular Bollywood dancing is great fun - you can listen to uplifting btracks, perform moves to make you fitter and add variety by doing different routines on a weekly basis.

"Not only will exercise help make your bones stronger, it will also increase muscle mass, which boosts your metabolism so you burn more calories even while you're resting. That's good news for avoiding the age-related weight creep that plagues many women. While younger females gain weight on their thighs and hips, older women are more likely to bulge around the mid-section. The effects of this extra abdominal weight show up not only in the mirror but also in the form of increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure, and many other illnesses."

"What you eat DOES matter. Filling up on 'empty calories' takes extra toll on your body's systems and saps your energy reserves. Eating plenty of whole grains, lean proteins, and fresh fruits and vegetables will help to maintain your overall health, and ensure that you also get all the necessary vitamins and minerals”.

"The great thing about any form of exercise including the Bollywood Workout is that it will give you a more positive outlook towards life. Endorphins are released in the brain helping to uplift you and make you feel happier. You also gain confidence and self esteem as you start shaping up and develop a more radiant and healthy look by removing toxins from the body. A regular 20 minute session three times a week will do wonders for anyone of any age, shape or size."
