In moderation, drinking red wine can improve heart health and circulation.   Repair damaged cells and improve on circulation? Isn't that the key factor for Great skins??!!

I am not a big fan of dancing, however most of my friends got influenced by the show, and actually learn different kinds of dance like latin, salsa, hip-hop..etc and I started to learn how to "dance" too, the dance that I learn is POLE DANCE (Thx Michelle introduce it to me), pole dance is the latest fitness craze which was a big hit in US, UK, Europe etc. It is so much fun and I really enjoy it, I've run a little search on the net and come up with the following benefits of pole dancing: The beauty of pole dance as exercise is that you build a better body and burn calories practically without noticing! Arms - Because pole dancing trains you to lift your body weight, your arms develop impressive strength, but your muscles stay long and lean (no bulk!). Your hands also become strong, and pole dancing helps counteract repetitive small-motion damage to hands from such activities as typing or haircutting. Shoulders and Back - When first beginning to pole dance, you’ll likely feel muscles in your shoulders and back that you may have forgot you had. Pole dancing strengthens these areas, and you’ll develop sexy muscle tone. Remember to stand tall with your shoulders comfortably back and down; good posture is the key to good pole dance. Core - Pole dancing tones abdominal muscles from deep within and you’ll develop a leaner torso. Keep your abs contracted (think about pulling your navel in towards your spine) as you practice to support your spine and increase the toning benefits. Flexibility - Many women do not realize the importance of flexibility and neglect to develop and sustain elasticity in their joints. Pole dance helps to improve your range of motion. Staying supple will help you maintain a youthful lifestyle as you get older. I can't express how fun pole dancing is by words, so if you guys have time, give it a try! http://aradiafitness.com/franchises/yorkregion/httpdocs/ March 20, 2008-Featured Accessory   To all Brides-to-be, still couldn't decide on the hair accessory for your wedding??
