GET UP AND DANCE THIS SUMMER! MUSIC BOOSTS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH

BY DOMINIC TENNEY

We all know that music has the incredible power to move us physically and emotionally. Club music has the unique ability to get people up on their feet. Beyond being a fun night out, it can also contribute to better health. Whether you’re looking to increase cardiovascular endurance, burn calories, improve flexibility, or enhance your mental well-being, there is music to help you achieve your wellness goals. Here are the summer’s best beats to take you where you want to be.

Physical Endurance And Stamina

As people engage in dynamic dance routines, they engage various muscle groups, including the legs, core, and arms, leading to improved muscular strength and endurance. Regular dancing can also increase lung capacity and oxygen intake, further enhancing overall physical fitness. This summer’s best album for a physical endurance and stamina workout is Bobby Newberry’s Dopamine Rollercoaster. High energy songs include “Escape”, a sultry house and disco track with a hypnotic baseline and “Blackout,” Newberry’s party-all-night-long record. There is also “Freak,” Newberry’s highoctane duet with drag star Rhea Litre and “Ride”, his feel-good summer jam. Bobby Newberry is a former choreographer for Eminem, Nicki Minaj, The Pussycat Dolls, Missy Elliot, and Lil’ Wayne, so he knows the best beats to get a body moving.

Flexibility And Balance

Club music helps people to develop a more agile and balanced physique by improving flexibility and balance with movements that involve stretching, bending, and reaching. Regular practice can lead to increased joint mobility, improved range of motion, and better posture. This summer’s best single for flexibility and balance is Paris King’s “Movie Star”. With its wicked beat, synth vocals, and high energy pop sound, the feel-good track encourages everyone to walk the red carpet and strike fierce poses for the paparazzi… after all, we’re all movie stars!

Cardiovascular Health

When people dance, their heart rate increases, resulting in an effective cardiovascular workout that strengthens the heart muscle and enhances overall heart health. This summer’s best song for a cardiovascular workout is Kristine W’s “By My Side”. The soulful pop groove is a celebratory homage to the people in our lives who
