Bollywood is back! But this time it is taking over the fitness world!
While skimming through the recent Weight Watchers magazine, I found a great article about India being the “hottest” spot on the map right now!
The latest craze to hit the US is the red-hot Indian dance trend, Bhangra. It is a great way to embrace the culture while getting in some exercise. The “high-energy moves are easy to learn and a great way to workout”.
Another incentive to Bhangra or trying any new dance form is that it may be good for your brain. Research suggests that “learning new routines or dance steps stimulates and creates new neurological connections, which may result in speedier thinking and a sharper memory.”
You may have seen the dance moves on Slumdog Millionaire, but did you know that it is now in a workout class near you?
After a bit of research, I found that there are actually classes available in Northern California in Cupertino, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Milpitas and Cupertino! Do a search on “Bhangra Exercise California” and a few classes will pop up. If you try one of them out, please leave a comment here and let us know how it was!
So get out there and shimmy your way into fitness and a sharper memory!
