Welcome to Laughter Workout

Laughter is a global language which creates an immediate shift in our body’s physiology. It changes our emotional state and perspective and encourages positive thinking.

In today’s fast paced and demanding world, not many things make us laugh. Stress related illnesses are one of the most common reasons patients visit their doctor and an increasing reason for absenteeism in the workplace.

Laughter is therapeutic and a great antidote to stress. It can encourage open communication and trust, productivity and emotional intelligence. It is said that it uses the right side of the brain increasing creativity and is good for problem solving.

Babies and children laugh easily, in fact they are said to laugh around 400 times a day! As we become teenagers, we laugh much less-possibly as a result of being told by grownups to “act our age“ or, maybe because we become more self conscious. By the time we reach adulthood our sense of humour is more intellectual and we often wait for comedy which we consider to be funny, or others to make us laugh. Consequently adults laugh only an average of 14 times a day!
