![]() Essentially, Niese has created a class where people can spend time together for an hour and nap. The word "napercise" is essentially a mixture of "napping" and "exercise," and that is precisely what it is. ![]() Having started his own gym, together with Mince, several years back, he had the freedom to try things out at little to no personal risk. Watching his wife get more and more exhausted, and himself not being far behind, Niese decided to come up with something to solve the problem. Both Mince and I were horrified! With all the things we had to do around Alana, there barely was any time left to do workouts, let alone have some time just for ourselves." You hear about the sleepless nights, the not being able to have time for yourself anymore, but you don't really believe it until it happens to you. Andrew De Niese says: "I know we should have been prepared for this, but we weren't. However, after the birth of their first child Alana, everything changed. The two got married several years later, and it wasn't long before they decided to start a family. She was an aerobics teacher and just as passionate about working out and staying fit and healthy. He met his wife Patricia Mince several years ago in the gym, and the two seemed perfect for each other. Clearly just one more reason to take a mid-afternoon snooze… but hopefully not under your desk.Andrew De Niese is a personal trainer who has always taken great pride in his own appearance and level of fitness. ![]() According to a study done in the Journal of Sleep Research, taking a nap can help improve your alertness and mental capacity. Plus, science says napping is very good for you. “So we’ve created a new group class-group napping classes for exhausted mums and dads to help boost their mental and physical wellbeing.”Īnd although this might sound ridiculous, a group fitness class that incorporates stretching and a total oasis of silence might honestly be a better alternative than your bedroom at home, which is full of distractions (and possibly children). “The frantic nature of modern life means that few of us seem to get enough sleep, and if you’re a parent, a good night’s rest becomes even more of a luxury,” the class description reads. The class is mostly aimed towards sleep-deprived parents who are already back at work and in desperate need of a nap. And honestly, it does sound pretty nice-the website says each class is 45 minutes long (the luxury!) and will help “reinvigorate the mind, the body and even burn the odd calorie.” Right now, all of the classes offered on the website are fully booked, so clearly Napercise has struck a chord with our exhausted world. At David Lloyd, they’re testing out this Napercise class that they say is “designed to help busy people combat fatigue and tiredness.” You can take Napercise at David Lloyd Clubs, a fitness studio chain in the UK. But if sleep is so important, why does it seem that people around the world are getting less and less of it? Enter: Napercise, the “fitness” class where all you do is nap. It’s basically the reset button for your body, helping keep your weight low, your memory sharp and a host of other important bodily functions running smoothly. Everyone knows by now that sleep is a crucial part of being healthy.
