RHYTHMIC/GYMNASTICS EXERCISE PROGRAM

Exercise Based
ANY rhythmic activity involves certain body
movements following a steady and prominent
beat. Individuals who practices rhythmic body
movements during an aerobic exercise or
dancing enjoy several health benefits that
improve the quality of life.
Aside from the physical health, rhythmic
activities can improve our general and
psychological well-being, as well.
Dancing to your heart’s content

One of the best ways to relieve stress is to


listen to music. Following the beat of the
music, rhythmic movements can be as simple
as tapping your fingers, clapping or stomping
your feet. This activity triggers the release of
biochemical stress reducers such as
dopamine, also known as a “feel good”
neurotransmitter that provides the drive and
focus to be productive. As an aftereffect,
dopamine also improves the quantity and
quality of relaxation and rest, too.
Improved mental health

Aside from increased physical confidence,


rhythmic activities can also improve mental
functions because rhythm regulates the brain
and prevents cognitive decline. It also boosts
the chemicals in our brain that support better
memory and learning.
Better social skills

By regularly participating in rhythmic activities,


one also gains greater self-confidence and
self-esteem. With improved positive self-
image, one is more motivated to pursue
personal goals, and able to practice impulse
control and resilience when faced with
adversities. As a result, there is an over-all
joyful attitude and an increased state of
happiness that leads to gaining greater life
satisfaction.
For that extra boost of the positive vibe, it is
recommended to participate in rhythmic
activities in the great outdoors. This will give
you an opportunity to break your routine and
enjoy the outdoor scenery while you work in
rhythm with the natural environment.
