When it comes to working out, the right music can really have a great effect on your motivation. It can make you workout harder and faster, and it can even help you get into the zone so that you can workout for a longer period of time. Whether you’re working on in your own home gym, on a treadmill at the local gym, or you’re out taking a brisk walk, music can be the catalyst to getting fit.
You might find that when you listen to a certain song it makes you want to get up and move. Some types of music have you tapping your feet uncontrollably. That’s part of the power of music.
Picking Music With A Good Beat
It depends on the workout you are doing on what type of music you want to listen to. If you are simply doing something like lifting weights, you can workout to slower music. Use your favorite genre if it keeps you pumped up.
If you are walking for fitness, you want some music that can put some beat in your step, but doesn’t have you wanted to run (unless that’s what you want). Just listen to something you like that makes you want to get up and get moving, rather than something that makes you want to relax and sit still.
Faster Music For Faster Fitness
If you plan to get in some cardio, and want to dance or run your way into fitness (outdoors or on a treadmill), then you want some faster music to work out to. Think Lady Gaga and Kesha. These are both great performers who make a lot of fast paced music that is easy to dance to, or workout to.
You can listen to any kind of dance music, even industrial, to help you get a good cardio workout in. It just needs to have a faster beat to get you moving faster.
Where To Find Music And Ideas
If you’re not much of a listener when it comes to music, you can find plenty of suggestions for workout music online. You can look at YouTube and Spotify, or you can even ask your friends on social media for workout music suggestion. There are also plenty of articles on the subject all over the internet.
Anytime you use a workout video you’ll find that they have some great background music to workout to as well. You could always take note of any songs on the videos that help get you moving and find them on your favorite streaming service.
Get up and crank the music for a great workout. Your morning’s will be better with a great workout, and some motivating and inspirational music.
