Listening to music while you do exercise is a powerful and fun way to motivate yourself. Have you ever reflected on this? Music literally makes you want to get up and start moving!

There are also many benefits to working to music:

• You can use music to pace yourself. If you want to work harder or run faster, just listen to fast-paced music. On the other hand, if you want to stretch and relax, listen to slower music.
• Uplifting music can get you in a certain mood in the blink of eye. Why not use this to get yourself in a working out mood?
• Music lets you workout without distracting you, as opposed to watching TV. You’ll be more aware of keeping up good form, heart rate, and necessary reps. Watching TV will take your mind away from these important aspects of exercise.
• Music is fun, and it makes exercise fun. Is there a better reason?
