ShepherdWealth&Retirement February 2018

E V E N T H I G H L I G H T THE GAME CHANGER FALL IN LOVE WITH FITNESS THROUGH DANCE

Tax season is closer than you think. On the cover, we shared why February is already too late to strategize for your taxes. How can you make sure you’re ready for next year? Your first step is to come to our Investment Strategy Game Changer™ workshop. What if I told you that you might be needlessly giving away money each year because of how you’ve been planning for your taxes? What if you could find out how to pay the lowest amount of taxes legally possible? If you’re a current client, you’re already privy to this game-changing presentation. But you probably have friends or family who haven’t heard it, and it’s time for them to see how they can change their tax planning game. Our workshops will take place at the Mountain Oyster Club in Tucson. Since you're clients, we are already applying the thinking we are presenting in this workshop to the work we are doing for you. But your friends and family likely still need to hear this message. Tell them to join us at the Mountain Oyster Club next month so they can feel as empowered by their financial decisions as you do. This event is 100 percent educational, and there will be nothing for them to buy or sign. It is free, and if they like what they hear, they may qualify for our complimentary Financial Clarity Experience™. To reserve a seat at the exclusive — only eight seats per event — Investment Strategy Game Changer™ workshop and learn ways that could protect their capital and maximize their returns, have them call Darlene at (520) 325-1600. SEE HOW YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR GAME THIS YEAR

When you get ready to exercise, the last thing you probably think to wear is a bow tie or evening dress. If that’s the case, then it’s time to broaden your approach to fitness and step out onto the dance floor. The wide world of dance might hold the secret to exercise that you — and your partner — will actually enjoy! Whether you enjoy a romantic waltz, an intimate salsa, or a fun swing, dance promises a full-body workout. Your legs, glutes, back, core, and even arms are engaged when you feel the music. A study from the University of Brighton in England found that dance can burn 600 calories per hour, depending on the intensity of the dance, which is as much as running for an hour! In addition to toning your muscles, dancing also improves balance and coordination. Your brain is engaged as you memorize the steps and spins, a health perk you miss when you’re on the treadmill or lifting weights. Don’t have a partner willing to join you on the dance floor? No problem! Many dance classes anticipate having solo students and arrange for partners to cycle through, so everyone has the opportunity to practice. Of course, ballroom dance isn’t your only option for a fun workout. If relying on a partner isn’t your style, there are plenty of other dance genres you can groove to. Consider trying K-pop (Korean pop music), Zumba, hip-hop, ballet, tap, and even belly dancing, if you’re feeling adventurous. With dance, exercise becomes an activity you look forward to. You no longer need to treat exercise as a dreaded chore week after week. Even if you have two left feet, remember that dancing is an acquired skill. With a willingness to learn, over time, you could dance circles around Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Get your groove on today and search for dance studios in your area, look for lessons at your local community center, or find instructional videos online and bust a move right in your living room. When it comes to dance, if you’re having fun and moving, you’re doing it right.
