Mar 24	comment	What to replace large quantities of meat with in my diet? There have been many studies to see if a certain intake of red meat causes a deterioration in overall health. "Red and processed meat intakes were assoc. with modest increases in total mortality, cancer mortality, and cardiovascular disease mortality." Though correlation does not imply causation, I don't think it hurts to cut back esp processed meat.

Mar 24	comment	Dancing and the core Nice then the rest is all dance technique: your frame, proper foot work (where you shift your weight), and spotting (focusing on a target). But maintaining a tight core will def. help you keep your frame during spins and turns. See this vid for fundamentals.

Mar 24	comment	strengthing and improving flexibility in heels Glad you aren't in any pain. I'm personally not a fan of the leg press as it's an unnatural motion. When do you find yourself on your back pushing something away with your feet? That machine isolates the quads, hams, glutes, and calves. I don't think you'd feel the stretch you need using it since the flat platform prevents the heel from stretching. Sometimes there are steps on other stations. I've seen steps on a bench press station where the spotter stands and sometimes the incline bench stations have a step that you could do the calf raises on with dumbbells.
