If you are like most, you don’t want to work out without your favorite music, which means you are on the right track to a more effective workout! Music can’t magically push you beyond your physical limits, however, listening to your favorite songs while at the gym can make workouts more enjoyable and effective. Here are a few reasons why:
-Music can help you get “in the zone”
-A steady rhythm can help you keep a steady pace and improve your coordination
-Music can improve your mood and make you want to move more
-Music can provide a good kind of distraction
-With your favorite tunes you will work harder without noticing
-Great tunes can help make a hard workout more enjoyable
-Music you love can amp you up
-… or calm you down
So, the next time you are working out, put on your headphones or ask your NexGen trainer to crank up your favorite tunes and get ready for a great exercise experience.
