Can playing the guitar help me lose weight?
Playing the guitar itself isn’t exactly a high-calorie burning activity. You do need tons of mental energy used as attention, concentration and focus as well
as listening and reacting in the moment. But
the the physical needs that might be
considered the “exercise” are limited to fine
motor skills and the movement of very small muscles.
Sure, there are musical styles that encourage a lot of running around the stage and the energy of the music and the lights could make a person sweat a lot. But, compared with say, speed metal drumming, guitar playing is a pretty low-impact activity.
There is something that guitar playing does
give you that could help with your weight loss
or personal health goals. A huge benefit that
actually helps a person with anything they want to achieve in life. Discipline.
