Takeaways

Dance can have powerful emotional and physical effects, providing a judgment-free zone for self-expression and release.
Werq Fitness is a cardio dance class based on pop and hip hop music, designed to be inclusive and accessible to all.
Muscle memory and choreography allow dancers to move without thinking, creating a freeing and empowering experience.
Dance has been shown to have neuroplasticity benefits, potentially reducing the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Finding movement that you enjoy is vital for your mental, physical, and emotional health, and can have a transformative impact on your overall well-being.

We all know exercise is “good for us” but is there one form of movement that heals the body on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level??

Ladies and gentlemen the answer is YES and I have very recently found that form of exercise!

Truth be told this weightlifting lovin’ woman started dancing in her 30s and quickly discovered dance as my missing piece in my fitness.

About 7 months ago I attended my first WERQ dance class and I have not stopped going (or obsessing) over this style of movement since!

Just a few minutes into my first class I was crying, laughing, smiling and wondering what the heck this new form of fitness was doing to me?!!

This week I invited the founder and CEO of WERQ fitness on the show to teach us about the mind-body benefits of dance, how the neuroplastic properties of WERQ can both prevent and heal disease, and how every one, every kind of body, from anywhere around the world can join in!!

If you need to feel inspired to move your body again, or are in a rut with your current workout routine not seeing the benefits, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU MY FRIEND!!!

Now..just press play already!!
