Have you ever been hunched over between sets in the gym, gasping for air and feel there’s no way you can squeak out another set, when all of a sudden a song comes on that gives you that last ounce of energy you need to push through? I have a feeling that’s happened to all of us during some point of our workouts. Music selection can be a big contributor to motivating us to get through the toughest of workouts. I’m a huge James Taylor fan, but I’ll be honest, cranking his music isn’t really going to keep me motivated during my workouts. Something I can suggest is that if your gym offers Wi-Fi, using Pandora might be a good option for you. This is what I do and I love it! Selecting music that will keep your energy elevated during your routines, especially between sets, will definitely pay off.
Now the playlist that you select doesn’t just have to be for the gym. It can also help with activities outside the gym as well, such as running or jogging. Maybe you’re a runner and selecting songs that have a certain tempo might help you keep the pace that you’re looking for. Whatever your case may be, finding that music that will keep your energy up just might be the ticket you need between suffering through a workout or powering through it! Now crank those tunes and happy exercising!
