Do your feet hurt? If your dogs start barking after just one night of dancing, imagine how New York’s Radio City Rockettes feel! They have to high-kick their way through numerous routines in 3-inch heels! So here’s how these dancing queens keep their feet in tip top shape. You can use this advice when your dogs are barking. We found this in Women’s Health Magazine.

• Doctor your shoes. Elaine Winslow-Redmond is an athletic trainer with the Rockettes. And she adds supportive insoles to each dancer’s heels to prevent injuries. So if you plan on doing some serious boogying, you may want to wear insoles, too – you can find them at most drugstores. And all the Rockettes order their shoes a half size too big to allow room for their feet to move.
• Flex, point, and roll. No – that’s not a dance move! Temple Kane has been a Rockette for 11 years, and she warms up before a show by pointing her toes and rolling her ankles for 10 minutes. Then, she spells out the alphabet in the air using her big toe to make sure her legs are ready for those high kicks.

One of our goals on this show is to help you live to be 100. So to that end, here are four quick ways to live a longer, healthier life. We found these in Woman’s Day magazine. But guys, they work for you too:

• First, never hit the snooze button again. According to a study from the Archives of General Psychiatry, sleeping too much may reduce your lifespan. The study of more than a million people found that those who sleep more than eight hours a night have a significantly higher death rate than normal. But late-night-partiers shouldn’t rejoice: researchers say that sleeping less than four hours also increases death rates. People who sleep between seven and eight hours per night were shown to live the longest. If you feel the need to hit snooze, go to bed 15 minutes earlier instead.
