Jenny goes dancing three times a week and says it is brilliant for osteoporosis.

 



I dance. I do an awful lot of dancing. Three times a week we dance. So, yes, we dance and that is brilliant, the dancing we do, for osteoporosis.
 
What are you doing?
 
Well, we started out as line dancers, American line dancers. We do the couples now and that they say the pounding of the floor is excellent for it. We probably do it three times a week. My husband does it so we do couples dancing. But line dancing if you are on your own is excellent. And I think they do advocate that, they mention it in their book how good dancing is.
