Music = Motivation

Working out to your favorite music is not only fun to do. It's motivational! A study was conducted that compared two groups. Group 1 listened to their favorite music through headphones while performing a strength work out and group 2 had no music. The end result was while listening to their favorite music Group 1 was actually able to crank out an average of 2-3 more reps as opposed to group 2. Also, a new study from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia confirmed that people who listened to music while going hard on an exercise bike for 10 minutes pedaled 11 percent farther than those who listened to silence or static for the same amount of time. So music isn't just for the car anymore. Grab your MP3 player, IPod or other music player and hit the gym with a new weapon of mass construction and build the body you've always wanted.
