Feel the music

Benefits of a solid work out playlist, it does matter!

  • No matter what your work out of choice is, a good playlist can make or break it.  There are actual scientific studies done on why music is important for exercise, not just because you love singing along to catchy pop hits.  


  • Music is a good distraction.  Music can make you less aware of your exertion, causing you to push just a little bit harder.  (with the right tempo song)  


  • Music puts you in “your zone”.  Every one has that special pump up song that you have always used to power through tough times.  It works because we associate certain songs with memories and channel that experience or emotion.  


  • Music is a great way to keep pace.  The rhythm of your music stimulates the motor area of your brain.  This stimulation aids in self paced exercises like running and lifting.  Having your beats match your pace creates efficiency. 



  • Music heightens your mood.  Music allows you to escape from the present and pick a way you want to feel. You can use music to escape stress and negativity and push through a challenging work out.
Now let yourself get lost in the beats, feel the music, and get your body moving!
