DANCE

Dancing is one of the most underrated ways to work out and get your heart pumping. You don’t need to go to a class or wait until your next big night out with your mates. It’s free and available to each and every one of us, on a daily basis. Gym and Zumba instructors know all too well that music helps to motivate and keep people going, but you don’t need to pay professionals to exploit this ancient and joyful activity. I’d like you to simply choose an upbeat tune that inspires you and makes you feel good, and just dance along, in whatever way you wish, for five minutes. Either set the song to repeat or choose a couple of high-tempo tracks and play them back to back. After five minutes of letting yourself leap about, your mood will have lifted, your energy levels will have risen, and you’ll feel much more motivated to do whatever else you have planned for the day.
