Bengaluru Police Do Zumba To Bust Stress, Twitter Calls It An ‘Excellent Initiative’

We sometimes tend to underestimate the kind of stress police officials have to undergo when on duty. Odd working hours and a tremendous amount of work pressure can take a toll on anybody. Hence, one in a while, something must be done to loosen up a bit to maintain a healthy state of mind.

Keeping this in mind, Bengaluru police officials engaged in a fun Zumba and physical exercise session recently to bust all that stress, reports India Today.

In a video that has gone viral on the internet, police officials can be seen doing pushups at the beginning. The video then goes on to show how the police stood in straight lines and followed the dance moves shown by a volunteer right at the front. Even female police officials were seen dancing in a circle and having fun.

Over 750 police personnel participated in the activity, reports NDTV.

Zumba is known to do an excellent job in improving one’s mood, energy levels, and eliminate a majority of the stress that one might be going through. Considering the stressful nature of the job of police officials, such activities should be organised nationwide!
