Singing karaoke burns as many calories as walking
Singing can also help burn the same amount of calories as walking or yoga, and even help your heart and lungs work better.
Singing in general and karaoke in particular as well as many other physical activities are a form of exercise that helps you burn excess fat and lose weight.
The amount of calories burned will depend on the singer’s weight, as well as the body movement. For example, a 65kg person sitting and singing will burn 100 kcal in 1 hour, a 90kg person will burn about 140 kcal.

Singing is also a way to help you lose weight. |
But when you stand up and bounce, dance or play other instruments, the number of calories burned will increase by at least 40 kcal per hour.
A study published in the scientific journal Folia Phoniatrica&Logopaedica also showed that after a few months of singing, lung volume, chest cavity and diaphragm mass also increased.
A 1986 study found that opera singers had larger chest muscles than others, stronger hearts, and better lung function, which they maintained into old age.
When singing, most of us have to take breath from the abdomen, which forces the diaphragm muscles to work harder, increasing the amount of air entering the lungs, increasing oxygen exchange, and promoting the heart to pump blood more regularly.
In addition, singing will also help the nervous system relax, thereby helping intestinal motility work better, increasing excretion, and preventing constipation.
For women, singing regularly is also a way to activate facial muscles that are normally less active, thereby helping facial muscles increase elasticity and stay young.
