Hello,
It is nearly February, and we are starting to notice some signs of Spring in Worden Park like the change in the bird song and daffodils shoots coming up. Getting out and about in fresh air is really uplifting. I try as much as possible to get out once a day even in the rain! I always feel better.
Why dance (and Zumba) is so good for you.
Below is a really good video clip about dance and why it is good for you and a bit of history too. One of the commentators is Dr Peter Lovatt a professor of dance psychology. He says just 10 minutes of dance provides a thorough workout for the body and brain, raising the heart-beat, causing the release of feel good endorphins. When we are dancing we are in the moment too so it is really good for stress relief.
