Quote - You really should give belly dancing a try; it's great exercise, and more fun than simply jogging. The scenery is much nicer, too. ;-)

When I was much, much younger, I did two years of ballet to help my footwork in fencing.  I also ran the 100 & 220 yard dash.  Later in life, I weighed 175-180 pounds, walked 2-1/2 miles/day to & from work and benched 240.  Now I'm heading for a walker due to back, hip & balance issues.  My dancing days are long past.  Sad because you're right, the scenery is pleasant although what I see here in Hawaii ain't too shabby either. :-)

Edit to correct a typo ... while probably missing a whole lot of other messups in the process.
