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 an MP3 player/iPod
when you work out, though they can
sometimes interfere with training
depending on the exercises.
- If
you can't stand the music played in
the gym, try channeling that aggression
into your workout.
