Kitchen Dancing Is a Legitimate Wellness Practice

Three minutes, one song, no witnesses required. Science (and grandmas) approve.

Here is the most achievable wellness habit ever devised: while the kettle boils, put on one song and dance like a foolish person until it ends. That is it. Movement researchers call it "incidental joyful movement"; grandmothers call it Tuesday. Three minutes of ridiculous kitchen dancing raises your heart rate, shakes loose a bad mood, and requires no equipment, membership, or coordination. Bonus points for using a wooden spoon as a microphone. Negative points for stopping because someone might see — that is what blinds are for.

What is your go-to kitchen dancing song? Asking for the playlist.
