Power of Music In

Tips -> Music & Workouts
Music can have an extraordinary effect on your
workout. Studies have shown that music can increase
or even decrease (with slow music) strength
and intensity. Music has also been shown to
decrease pain sensitivity during exercise.
- Just
before you go work out, if you have
a chance, listen to music that gets
you worked up.
- This
puts your mind into a state of excitation,
preparing your nervous system for the
work ahead, boosting your energy level
and performance.
- The
same kind of music is good to listen
to during a workout, though some people
prefer silence so they can concentrate
completely.

- If the gym
only plays radio stations that aren't to
your taste, you can always try wearing a
Walkman when you work out, though
they can sometimes interfere with training
depending on the exercises. Get one that
is sweat-proof.
- If you can't
stand the music played in the gym, try channeling
that aggression into your workout.
