Waltz, Disney

Song And Dance For Heart Patients

Italian researchers say heart patients can waltz their way to better health as the energetic but graceful dance was found to be just as effective as bicycling or running on a treadmill. Patients who waltzed for exercise saw the same improvements in their cardiac system as patients who used cycles and treadmills. Researchers say 70 per cent drop out of traditional exercise programs, while doctors believe waltzing holds the patients' interest because it is fun and therefore more effective. Get the band to strike up `The Blue Danube', maestro!
