ROXI - THE JOY AND BENEFITS OF KARAOKE

Singing is as uplifting and invigorating as a high intensity workout according to new scientific research.

If you're struggling to kickstart the motivation to go to the gym or pound the pavements a new biometric study has found an alternative way to put your heart and head through its paces by cultivating short bursts of euphoric highs right from your living room.

Neuroscientists at Myndplay - a technology company that specialises in brain and emotion-based research - have found that just FOUR minutes of singing your heart out can send your heart rate soaring to as high as 139bpm, benefiting your body in the same way as a vigorous workout.
