Playing Drums Is Great Exercise!

A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine showed that the energy expended by a drummer during a 60 minute rock concert is equal to that of a person going for a brisk jog. This is a great example of an alternate activity to jogging that provides many of the same great health benefits!
