Does Singing Karaoke Burn Calories? 🤔 "Health Benefits of Singing Karaoke You Should Know" ✌ After studying or working hard, karaoke can help you relieve stress and fatigue. The effect of karaoke is far more than entertainment. 🤗 Karaoke also has many other health benefits, including helping you lose weight. 😍 But is this true? Does karaoke burn calories? The answer is yes. Karaoke can burn calories. The amount of calories burned by singing depends on the position and weight of the singer. 🤜 🤛 Singing Karaoke is also an effective calorie-burning activity. People with different weights and singing positions will have a different amount of burned calories. 😎 For an hour of singing, a 150-pound person will burn about 100 calories if sitting down. If this person stands to sing, the burned calorie amount will be 140 calories. And, the calorie consumption will increase by at least 40% if this person moves or dances while singing. 💃 Besides, with the same activities, people who weigh more will burn more calories. For example, a person weighing 200 pounds will burn 40 more calories than a 150-pound person. 🕺 *by Raelyn Tran #relievestress #PreventDepression #improvementalalertness #enhancetheimmunesystem #goodforyourrespiratorysystem #singing #karaoke #karaokeparty #karaokerental

Relaxing Music For Stress Relief, Anxiety and Depressive States • Heal Mind, Body and Soul

Many of the clients I work with experience some level of glossophobia (fear of public speaking). There are many techniques I utilize to help them overcome this fear and reduce their anxiety - from breathing techniques, visualization and affirmations to practice and preparation. One of the suggestions that always surprises people then has them nodding and saying, "that makes total sense," is MUSIC! Music is processed directly by the amygdala, the 🧠 brain's processing center for mood and emotions. The amygdala also happens to process music! Some of the many benefits of listening to music include: 🎉 Boosts dopamine levels 🥳 Triggers biochemical stress reducers 🥰 Reduces feelings of anxiety and depression So the next time you've got a big presentation coming up, turn up your favorite tunes AND your mood! You'll be HAPPY you did. What are your fave mood boosting songs? #SPEACsuccess #mood #musiclover #stressmanagement #anxietyrelief #publicspeaking #publicspeakingtips #publicspeakingcoach

I am so excited and I just can’t hide it Day 3 of how to deal with stress and anxiety and connect to your body not just for the holiday season but for reelz throughout the year Drumroll🥁🥁🥁 Chanting/singing/ohming And how do these help? 🪩breath regulation— see days one and two and how breath work helps regulate your nervous system 🪩emotional expression: all three let us express our emotions and when we do that we release some won’t up tension and that helps regulate your system. Think about this; when you have a car concert: you are driving and blasting your music and singing at the top of your lungs like you are having a concert: how great do you feel? 🪩focus and mindfulness— another repeat customer. Singing and chatting can be repetitive and we are focusing on what we are doing rather than the negative thoughts 🪩community and connection— singing , chanting, ohming can be done in groups and when you are with likeminded people man it feels fabulous and your mind is present that and your body is relaxed.
