If the sun and milder spring temperatures don’t cheer you up, we have something which may help: dancing.
In addition to stimulating your blood circulation and heartbeat, exercise is an excellent approach to raise your endorphin levels.
“So much of the world of joy has been stuck and intellectualized” Radha Agrawalcreator of the joy-inducing digital dance practice platform Dawn+ previously said Well + Good. “But we have actually found that a whole lot of real joy can come from activating the body-brain connection through movement.”
All you have got to do is start moving to the beat. But in the event you’re not comfortable just freestyling it to your favorite tunes, a latest 10-minute energizing hip-hop routine for the Well + Good Coach of the Month Club from knowledgeable dancer and Studio Lululemon coach Amanda Baxter will make you stomp, jump and smile.
Baxter will guide you thru six complex dance moves, which you’ll construct right into a short routine at the tip. If that sounds intimidating, don’t fret: Baxter teaches moves one by one and tests all of them. It’s all about feeling yourself, putting your personal personality into the movements, and never letting anything like hand movement get in the best way of your rhythm.
“With each execution, you will feel a little bit more comfortable and energized,” says Baxter. “Give it some swag, some sass, some attitude.”
You can expect to pop and spin, perform low lunges with knee strikes, and shuffle with throwing elbows. Baxter will (helpfully) remind you to breathe because it expects your heart rate to hurry up. Most of all, he wants you to rejoice.
“I would like to see those big, sweaty smiles,” says Baxter.
