Sports fitness DJ dance

Sports and fitness DJ dance is essentially a new aerobic program that deeply combines the rhythmic logic of electronic music with the force-generating rules of fitness movements. According to test data from domestic mainstream sports platforms in 2024, its fat burning efficiency per unit time is 27%-32% higher than ordinary aerobics, and the exercise threshold is almost zero. It is one of the group class programs with the highest retention rate among young people today.

Last Wednesday, I went to a fitness studio near my home to take a class. The person leading the class, Akai, used to be a live house DJ. Three years ago, he had a lumbar disc herniation and was forced by the doctor to exercise. So he simply combined his profession and fitness to take this class. On the day I went there, there were 27 people crowded into the sex room, half of them were born after 2000 with trendy colors, and there were a few older ladies in professional fitness clothes. No one was swimming for 45 minutes. When we got to the hottest drop point, everyone was shouting and filming, and the strong men in the strength area next door held the door open to watch the excitement.

At present, the core of this project is not completely unified in the circle. It is interesting to say that the two types of coaches each have their own persistence and fans. DJs like Akai belong to the "rhythm party". Their logic is to "make you willing to move first, and then talk about movement standards." The BPM of all playlists are strictly based on the heart rate curve of warm-up-fat burning-explosion-stretching: the warm-up phase is stuck at around 105 BPM, which just matches the frequency of stepping and joint activation. When you enter the fat-burning zone, directly increase the speed to 128, which is the most classic house dance speed. After the frequency of leg raising and jumping jacks is clicked, you will not feel tired at all, and you will only think about keeping up with the rhythm. When you reach the drop point of the highest emotional point, you can arrange explosive movements such as burpees and squat jumps. If you are high, you will not feel at all if you do two more. The first time I took his class, I lost 1.2 kilograms after the weigh-in. My calves were sore the next day - after all, I didn't control my movements too much in order to get stuck.

The other group is the "action party" who was originally a trainer of aerobics and Les Mills group classes. I also tried one of their classes last Saturday. Sister Lin, who leads the class, has been a fitness coach for 8 years. She feels that rhythm must give way to movements, and she cannot deform the movements for the sake of excitement and injure the joints. In the build-up phase of her playlist, the rhythm is deliberately slowed down by 0.5 beats, just to allow everyone to squat to a 90-degree angle and stabilize their core when raising their legs. She often says, "You can feel great dancing for a while, but your knees will hurt for half a month, but it's not worth the gain." I only lost 8 taels after the jump that time, but I didn’t feel any soreness in my whole body. All my strength was focused on the target muscle groups. After the jump, I felt that my whole body was stretched. The two groups of coaches have a pretty good relationship in private, and they often exchange playlists for reference. Even though they have their own opinions during class, the students are also divided into two groups, each playing their own thing, which is quite harmonious.

If you really have to choose, you don’t have to worry about it. If you have bad knees and no exercise foundation, you can first take the action party’s class to lay the foundation. If you have good physical strength and just want to decompress and burn fat, the rhythm party’s class will be great. I later asked Akai to help me make a customized song list, and embedded the action prompt sound in the first half of each node. It is equivalent to getting the benefits of both groups. I have jumped three times recently, and my body fat rate has dropped by 0.3 percentage points, which is much more efficient than the 5 kilometers I ran before.

Don’t think that this is just casual dancing. Many people dance at home to short videos. The songs they choose will be slow and fast, and their heart rate will go up and down, which can easily put a burden on the heart. Some people dance just by wearing slippers. I was with a friend in the emergency room a while ago and met two people with sprained feet. They were all doing it at home. If you really want to play, you can either find a reliable coach offline, or arrange the BPM of the playlist yourself first, wear suitable sneakers, use a thicker yoga mat, and don't cause trouble for the neighbors downstairs.

Last week, I took my cousin, who usually has to take the elevator to the third floor, to take a class with Akai. She initially coyly said she didn’t want to move, but ended up getting high after dancing for ten minutes. Her face was red the whole time. After it was over, she chased Akai for a song list, saying it was more fun than the last time she went to a disco in a bar, and she didn’t have to drink cold beer to bloat her stomach. When she woke up the next day, she said she was a pound lighter, and went to apply for a season pass. To be honest, good exercise is never anti-human. If it weren’t for the fitness DJ dance, I guess my cousin would never take the initiative to enter the gym door in this life.
