About THANDAV

THANDAV stands for Taking High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Dance to Adolescent girls and women for Victory over NCDs.

THANDAV is a 10-min HIIT routine consisting of 4 loops including a 2 minutes high (80-90% of max Hear Rate (HR) ) to 30 seconds low (50-60% of max HR).

 

Each 10-min routine consists of a Bollywood / Reginal language / Indi pop / English film / Folk songs choreographed to high intensity (so a single routine will have 4 of the latest hits). The movements are choreographed in a simple and repetitive manner so that they can be done in a loop without much stress.
