For some, group exercise classes are a way to beat fatigue and pump up your energy levels, and for others, you wish you could still be in bed sleeping instead of waking up at the crack of dawn to sweat. Now, there's a fitness class that both groups of people can support. 'Napercise' is a 45-minute group fitness class that comprises, well, napping.
David Lloyd klubber , a UK exercise studio, is testing out the napping class concept 'designed to help busy people combat fatigue and tiredness.' If you're questioning why you would voluntarily spend money to have a slumber party with a group of strangers when you could just take a nap at home, it's the vibe of the studio that makes all the difference.
Rummet er indstillet til 'en ideel temperatur til søvn' og er udstyret med enkeltsenge, tæpper og øjenmasker. Ifølge studiets hjemmeside , eftermiddagssøvn-sessionen 'er designet til at genoplive sindet, kroppen og endda forbrænde de ulige kalorier.'
'The frantic nature of modern life means that few of us seem to get enough sleep, and if you're a parent, a good night's rest becomes even more of a luxury,' the website reads. 'So [we've] created a new group class — group napping classes for exhausted mums and dads to help boost their mental and physical well-being.'
Vi er fulde tilhængere af lur, og det er ikke kun, fordi vi er trætte mennesker – lur er godt for dig! En undersøgelse offentliggjort i Journal of Sleep Research fandt, at lur forbedre din årvågenhed og mental kapacitet, og vi ved alle, hvor svært det er at få hele otte timer med vores travle hverdag.
Selvom Napercise desværre kun er tilgængelig i Storbritannien, har vi en fornemmelse af, at trenden snart vil finde vej til USA.
