Study Finds Ravers Get a Serious Workout
New data from a study by DICE using fitbits suggests the average electronic music fan shuffles through nearly 5 kilometers per gig attended. That’s equivalent to over 3 miles! How does this happen? While at the show, think about the time spent standing, let alone moving around. This type of movement is like unstructured play time. Typically at a show, people love to dance in their own ways with different movement patterns. There is no right or wrong way of doing this.
Different types of movements done at shows are jumping, shuffling, or even dropping down low like a squat. The possibilities are endless! Think about when kids at the park are running around endlessly up and down the playground, they are doing the same type of thing that adults do at a rave. It gets to be fun while breaking a sweat.
If electronic dance music not your thing you can still go to other types of shows and burn calories. Grime attendees came in number 1 with 8km stepped and were followed by Pop (4.3 km), R’n’B (3 km), and Indie (1.8 kim)
