Nowadays, many types of exercises are done to keep the body healthy. Some people run in the morning, while some people sweat for hours in the gym to keep themselves healthy. Apart from these exercises, people also resort to many different and interesting types of exercises. Nowadays, 'cardio drumming' is quite popular among such interesting exercises.
Cardio drumming helps keep the body healthy by getting rid of the same boring exercise every day. The specialty of this exercise is that by doing it, the muscles around your heart become stronger, which also reduces the risk of heart disease. To do this exercise, you need two drumsticks, a fitness ball and a stable base to place it below. The fitness ball is placed on the base, which keeps it stable so that you can exercise comfortably.
Benefits of Cardio Drumming
Cardio drumming has many health benefits. It helps improve heart health, lower blood pressure, reduce stress and anxiety, increase stamina and strengthen the body's immune system. Dr. Prashant Pandey, a cardiologist at Medanta Hospital in Delhi, considers this exercise very effective. He says that cardio drumming is a great exercise for those who are not interested in regular exercise, or who get tired of doing the same exercise every day. It is more effective for those who are interested in music.
The muscles of the hands also become stronger,
However, he does not agree that cardio drumming only exercises the heart cells. Dr. Prashant says that it is not that this exercise only affects the heart cells. Cardio drumming uses almost all the muscles that come under aerobics, apart from the muscles of the hands and the core muscles. This is not a separate exercise, but is a part of the exercise done by people daily. Dr. Prashant further says that cardio drumming not only improves physical health, but due to the use of music in this exercise, the focus of the person also increases, which also improves mental health to a great extent.
The History of Cardio Drumming
The history of cardio drumming is quite interesting. The credit for developing this method goes to Dr. Michel Unrau, who observed Japanese drumming called taiko in Japan while working in the fitness industry in the 1990s. He started the Taikofit program in 2002 to turn this practice into an aerobic workout. This is where cardio drumming is considered to have started. Apart from this, cardio drumming also has the “Drums Alive!” program, which was developed by Carrie Ekins in Germany in 2001. This program was developed in collaboration with several educational institutions and has since become popular as a fitness trend.
