Book Summary

An engaging, exciting and punchy book, “Becoming Socially Fit- Using Group Physical Fitness to Deter Bullying Behavior!” essentially proves that group physical fitness and especially dance fitness acts as a strong deterrent to anti-social behavior, hence bullying as this is a non-competitive fitness program. Using one of the most unique fitness programs known and taught in over 80 countries worldwide, Bokwa® dance (including all Bokwa® formats) as the key ingredient, this helps to establish this theory due to its educational content and structure where participants draw the letters and digits with their feet whilst the instructor uses sign language to cue the moves. “Becoming Socially Fit” sparks quite the contribution to the rather minimalistic academic research that has introduced the argument.

“Becoming Socially Fit” sparks quite the contribution to the rather minimalistic academic research that has introduced the argument. The structure of the Bokwa® fitness programs allows for school physical educators and adults who work with children and young people in the community to adopt a positive mindset and integration. By using Bokwa® this program creates a fun, stimulating and non-judgmental environment to captivating music, whilst getting fit!
