Disco Band Tours Online to Fight Obesity

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- With obesity a big problem across the country, 'The Disco Men,' a high-energy disco band, have set out to help people shed the pounds through disco dancing. Computer users can log on to the band's website every night and spend 30 minutes dancing to music performed LIVE by the band and broadcast via the internet.

"We want to encourage America to join us and dance their way to better health while having fun," says Dynamite, lead singer of the group. "What better way than in the comfort of your own home and in the simplest way -- dancing."

Each night the band performs a different set of disco songs and dedicates each show to a new city. In between, Dynamite motivates the listeners with fun lingo.

"If you want to get down, you have to get up," says Dynamite, adding: "So when you get up, it's time to get down! So let's get on down and boogie!"

"We bring the concert to your home by way of the internet," says Adrian Martinez, founder of the group. "All we ask is that you have fun and dance, before you know it, you'll have had a great work out."

Martinez was inspired to create the disco group after a similar broadcast event he produced for his radio station DogCatRadio.com.

"I wanted to create an official DogCatRadio.com disco band that would cater exclusively to our listeners," says Martinez. "We got a great response from the pet-owners who say they've made dancing part of their work out routine, so now we have the disco work hour out every night."

According to a recent study, in the past 20 years, obesity in the U.S. has more than tripled among adolescents and more than doubled among children ages 6 to 11.

Research has found that moderate dancing for 25 minutes can help burn up to 450 calories.

Lack of physical activity is contributing to higher rates of obesity, which increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems. By enjoying physical activities together, more people get involved in exercising and eventually lose more weight.
