Exercise : Music & Exercise
Have you ever hummed the theme song from Rocky while exercising? It turns out that music may be the key to achieving your fitness goals. People who exercise to music say that it breaks the monotony of exercise and makes the time go faster. It also provides a distraction from any discomfort felt during exercise. For competitive athletes, distraction is not the issue. Music, if well chosen, can have a calming effect on nerves, preventing a premature release of adrenalin before the event. At the same time, it can pump up enthusiasm and confidence. Music is therapeutic, and so is exercise. Combine the two, and you might imagine yourself right alongside Rocky ascending those museum steps in triumph.
