Waltz your way to better cholesterol: study tests dance and resistance combo

This study looked at whether adding elastic band resistance training to waltz dancing could help improve cholesterol levels in women aged 45 to 65 with dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fats). Sixty women participated in a 12-week program of supervised exercise classes three times a week, combining waltz, resistance bands, and agility training. The researchers measured changes in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and other blood fats before and after the program, comparing results to a non-exercise group.
