***Tak… tak… tak ….*** That’s how a clap sounds. The best way to appreciate, acknowledge some achievement, or to celebrate any occasion in the group or among friends is by Clapping. Clapping is the way of creating a sound wave that is generated by hitting both the palms of the hands.

## Clapping as an Exercise. Can you ever imagine, that Clapping is body exercise?? Well, you heard it right, clapping in indeed a way to relax your body. During my morning walk in the nearby park, I have noticed some groups of old fellows whom we called “Uncle” with due respect made a hurdle and after some yoga/stretching they stands in circles and started to **“Clap”**. The Clap sound always echo every morning in the park and is now a general trend. Thanks to those old age people that make the park lively early morning.

For a change, I plan to join the group one morning, however, I got the bit late, so I stand a little far off from their hurdle and started observing them, the moment they started to clap, I also started clapping to match with their speed. They were hitting the pal, with open face. With each clap, the sounds kept increasing. They are beating the hand hardly one after the another, so that makes a louder sound. They are competing in making the sound wave travel to farthest as possible. I tried to match their speed, why not to be, I am bit younger than them, at least I can do that as well. As I started to match the clapping parade, I felt something inside, I started to feel more ***energetic and rejuvenated*** vibration. With each thud of the clap, I started to feel fresh. I noticed that the vibration that generates, by hitting both the palms together ran through the spine and making my body feel relaxed. ## Question out of curiosity Once the hurdle has done with the clapping and started to take a move, out of nowhere, I stopped one old man and asked him the question, as to ### **Why they do clapping so enthusiastically??** The old man gives me a very innocent smile and said, *the more powerful you hit the palms, it makes you more relaxed, as the vibration helps in blood circulation faster, which in turn, rejuvenate your body. Also doing the exercise early in the morning is quite good, as your body has just woken up from the overnight rest (Sleep) so louder and stronger claps early in the morning in fresh Air is the best way to make you active and healthy.* In addition to that, it adds to the concentration power. As we are focussing on making louder sounds and hitting the palms properly to make a higher pitch. Wowww…that is really a cool mantra early morning. I felt such a magic in the clapping. I believe Clapping is the best and easiest exercise one could have to relax the body. Further googling the benefits, I came across these image, which indicates the acupressure points of you body that linked to your plam.

## Clapping as Game. Yes, clapping is also a part of the game that many kids play. Have you ever noticed, how kids in your house or in parks, feel fresh while playing? I saw that ….. there are many games that kids play, maybe that is one of the reasons that keep them always pumped up. https://media.giphy.com/media/l2YWCPLrCIaNc9QT6/giphy.gif [Source](https://media.giphy.com/media/l2YWCPLrCIaNc9QT6/giphy.gif) So, to all of them who hesitate in clapping during any occasion, I would advise them, just Clap your way for a better and healthier life. It is the best way to keep you pumping and going. It does not take much except hitting your palms and you do not get hurt by doing so. ## Tak...Tak…Tak…Takk…. # Keep Steeming...Steem On !!! ## Namaste from @steemflow ![STEEMFLOW.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY8bvLw2fhPuVwjpgbvvGMXJQrYGtxH1EL72TXEYUp5kR/STEEMFLOW.gif) [![The STEEM Engine](https://ethandsmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/steemengineBanner.png)](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@thesteemengine/introducing-the-steem-engine-initiative) ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/k9ooh1v6s4.jpg)
