If you’ve ever had second thoughts about the money you spend on tango, put your mind at ease. You’re making a valuable investment.
According to Money magazine, your best retirement investment is general fitness. For boomers, that doesn’t mean running six miles a day. Just the opposite.
“Boomers need to know that there’s a new fitness paradigm,” says Marjorie J. Albohm, a certified athletic trainer quoted in Money’s March issue. “It’s not about how many miles you run or how much you can bench press. It is about balance, strength and mobility.”
Sounds like tango to me.

These entries are terribly close to Notebook articles...Forget about your blog, are you seeing anything *I* can use?? :-)
That’s not all!
Tango can banish a woman’s chief worry as she heads toward retirement: jiggly-arm.
For firming up the triceps, “I recommend … tango,” says Alan Macpherson, a teaching fellow in sports psychology at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland (quoted in Glamour magazine).
“Clutching someone for a good half hour is a great way to tighten up your arms,” the doctor adds.
That’s clutching, not clinching, Glamour is careful to add.
Or, the magazine suggests, you could do “dips,” a push-up with your arms behind your back while you also are squatting.
I’d rather tango.
