Lose Weight with Dance as exercise
I’ve lost 28lbs in the last six months or so, and I’m looking – and feeling great, but there are some bits that need firming up, particularly around the stomach and waist area. Swimming is helping with all over toning, but it’s not addressing the midsection, so when I saw an advert for belly dancing classes, run by our local council, I decided to give it a go.
I live in a small village on the Costa Blanca, with a fairly large expat population. I assumed the class would be full of expats, as I couldn’t imagine the locals going in for something as sensual as belly dancing. How wrong can you be? There’s another English girl, and the rest of the class are Spanish, ranging in age from about 20 years old to around 60. At 57, I’m the second eldest in the class.

Fitness Basic: Why muscles get sore
Our muscles give us sensations of pain when they are damaged and during their recovery period. Such muscle damage can occur from a number of causes that might be divided into four categories: acute onset muscle soreness (AOMS), delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), muscle cramping and muscle trauma (injury/wounding).
Muscles are composed of multiple muscle cells or fibers, the number of fibers being dependent on location and purpose of the muscle. While the number of muscle fibers in a particular muscle varies little between people, within each fiber may be a highly variable number of myofibrils parallel to each other. The more work the muscle cell is put to, the more myofibrils it will construct, as it is within these myofibrils that the contraction and release resulting in muscle function occurs.
