New Year is typically the time for New Year’s resolutions based around getting fit and losing weight but your local Rock Choirs in Farnham, Godalming and Guildford are offering the chance for a different way to improve your overall health.
Studies have long supported the notion that singing in a group has a multitude of health benefits, as it’s an uplifting and engaging experience.
Singing in a choir encourages team work and the sense of reaching a shared goal in addition to being a great opportunity to make new friends and expand your social life.
A 90 minute session at Rock Choir can also burn in excess of 200 calories as the choir members not only exercise their lungs, but also spend time on their feet learning dance moves.
Local Rock Choir leader Tom George, who runs fun weekly session in Farnham, Godalming and Guildford, knows first-hand how much singing as part of the choir has helped local choir members.
“It’s amazing to see how much the members benefit from taking part in Rock Choir on a weekly basis. I’ve seen confidences grow and friendships develop and it’s awesome to see, especially when they have taken part in a performance!”
Researchers at the Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health at Canterbury Christ Church College found that the positive feelings also counteract feelings of stress or anxiety and help to distract people from internal negative thoughts and feelings.
According to Professor Stephen Clift FRSPH, Co-Director of the Sidney Haan Research Centre, “Singing, especially in a group environment such as Rock Choir, encourages deeper, more controlled breathing, giving the lungs an exercise work out. It also gives a boost to the immune system, reduces stress levels, improves mental wellbeing, enhances concentration and memory and builds confidence.”
Rock Choir wants to get the nation up on their feet singing and having a great time meeting new people in their local area and is inviting everyone to come along for a FREE first session. To register go to rockchoir.com/newyou15
