For you morning workout guys, those whom like exercising at home, or in quite areas. I'll give you a few reasons to listen to music while working out. Always listen something that really means something to you, that's the whole reason of listening music.
Music is the good kind of distraction.
While the study did suggest there's more to it than distraction, working out with music did make participants less aware of their exertion. Can benefit athletic performance by up to 15 percent, The Guardian reported. Yeah, by just listening to Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix) half of my cardio time goes away.
It ups your effort.
A 2010 study found that cyclists actually worked harder when listening to faster music as compared to music at a slower tempo.
Music puts you "in the zone".
We associate certain songs with memories, often relating to the context in which we originally heard them. Channeling that memory boosts the motivational power of the song, and has been shown to improve physical performance. It happens to me every time. Some times trying to sing and workout at the same time. Do not try it at home.
A good beat can help you keep pace.
The rhythm of your workout music stimulates the motor area of the brain as to when to move, thereby aiding self-paced exercises such as running or weight-lifting. Clueing into these time signals helps us use our energy more efficiently, since keeping a steady pace is easier on our bodies than fluctuating throughout a sweat session.
Music can elevate your mood.
An August 2013 analysis found that people often listen to music as a way to change their mood and find self-awareness.
It makes you want to move.
Researchers found that when music possesses "high-groove" qualities, the brain gets excited and induces movement in the listener.
