I was just thinking about what new activities I would add to my goals for the year that would create more fun and social engagement. Ta Da.....dancing!
Then I did a little research and found this from betterhealth.vic.gov.au:
Dancing has a wide range of physical and mental benefits including:
- Improved condition of your heart and lungs
- Increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness
- Increased aerobic fitness
- Improved muscle tone and strength
- Weight management
- Stronger bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis
- Better coordination, agility and flexibility
- Improved balance and spatial awareness
- Increased physical confidence
- Improved mental functioning
- Improved general and psychological wellbeing
- Greater self-confidence and self-esteem
- Better social skills
Hope to see you include dance, especially if it feels awkward, to your 2017 personal/recreational goal setting 🙂
Let's dance........
In Gratitude,
Johanna
