Steelers.com: Ward staying busy dancing

[stillers4me]

Hines Ward isn’t afraid of hard work. He doesn’t mind sweating. He enjoys a challenge.

But even he admits that he had no idea what it would be like to be on the hit reality show “Dancing With The Stars,” when he agreed to take part.

“I didn’t have a clue what I signed up for,” said Ward. “You watch it on television and then you actually get in to the practice and moving around and stuff like that. It’s harder than most people think.”

Ward has been practicing with his dance partner from the show, Kym Johnson, in Atlanta six days a week, five hours a day with two 30 minute breaks getting prepared for the season premiere of the show on ABC March 21.

“It’s very rigorous,” said Ward. “For me this is the offseason. It’s supposed to be a time to relax and get away, but it’s definitely keeping me in shape.

“Every day I am soaking my feet. I have new respect for the ladies who wear high heel shoes. It's a challenge being on the balls of your feet all of the time. But my knee is fine. I just feel soreness from dancing around and moving around the ballroom.”............

Survival on the show is based on scores from the judges and viewers votes and Ward is really hoping that Steelers fans tune in and vote, because he knows what a difference they can make and he wants to represent the black and gold well.


“My whole life has been people telling me what I can’t do,” said Ward. “People are asking can you even dance. I can dance, but nobody in this competition has really had formal ballroom training so we are all starting off at the same level. For me it’s me wanting to prove to myself if I can do it or not. It’s something new to me and challenging.”

I think this is going to Benefit Ward. Because dancing man is a hell of an exercise and your hip flexors and feelt become so much more faster and synchronized. This will be a good Offseason Workout program for him. Just look at Mendenhall and his dancing, and how fast and quick he is in the hole.
