What song would you sing in the shower?

This week (Monday 22nd June – Sunday 28th June) is Love Your Lungs Week. With research suggesting that lung disease affects 1 in 5 people in the UK, it’s more common than people often realise. 

But how can you take steps to increase your lung capacity?

An article said:

Breathing exercises, physical activity and vitamin D help your respiratory system. If that doesn’t work, you can indulge your inner musician.

The most common way to increase your lung capacity is by doing regular exercise, even if this is just a 20min walk or some gentle stretching every day. 

On the other hand, having a good sing can also be beneficial. If that’s not a good excuse to sing in the shower, then I’m not sure what is!

Stories from the British Lung Foundation

What would you like to do to improve your lung health? What would be your song of choice? Let us know in the comments below!

    Hi @katho31, I believe that was last week. :)

    I posted a news article about learning disabilities and the pandemic.

    This information is really insightful, and the question is a fun one :) 

    Gotta be Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon for me, they're one of my favourite artists and that song always puts me in a good mood!

    Guessing the purple wheelie bin in the high st realy isnt a tardis. You never know what you gonna with your posts love the titles.
    1. Quit smoking
    2.diet and exercise  have been on that now for while. But thinking I should have quit smoking first.

    As for songs only know the 80s. But it would probably a silly one like spitting images chicken song.

    Ah @r@ross2503, that is such a good song! I might have to listen to it and have a little boogie! Glad you found the information useful. :)

    What a coincidence today is the first time I have had a shower in over 3 years (im not dirty I have baths). I was brave today and with some help managed to use my bath lift to get me into the bath and sit down and use the shower, I had forgot what it felt like to have the water running all over you and how refreshed you are after.

    Getting back to the point of the post I would sing Things can only get betterlove that song
