What is your favorite thing to do during sports activities? Pure concentration? Is your mind drifting off to the problems of the day or are you listening to music?
Listening to music while exercising, say running, can improve both your workout and your mood. The music will drive away the thoughts that are swarming in your head - "I'm suffering", "I don't love myself anymore",... And in the end, you will be surprised how quickly the sports activity went by.
Let's look at some reasons why it's good to listen to music during training!
1. Music can be distracting
With good music, you can completely forget for a few minutes that you are running or cycling and, of course, as a result, that you are suffering. Music helps you get through the effort more easily and the time passes faster during sports effort.
2. With music, your training will be more effective
This is especially true for music that has a faster rhythm. Of course, be careful when choosing your training scale, because you won't be able to follow music with too fast a rhythm.
3. Good music puts you in a special state
Every person has his favorite songs that put him in a good mood or a state where he forgets about his efforts. In a musical trance, it is much easier to cope with the efforts that you overcome with sports activity.
4. The rhythm of the music will keep your pace
In anaerobic exercises such as running, cycling, rowing, walking, music can literally help you keep the pace and give you an extra boost.
5. Music improves mood
You can listen to music even before training, so that you come to training in a good and positive mood. Exercising to music is more fun.
6. Music makes you move
Those of you who like to dance know this especially well. It's hard to stay still and not move with the rhythms of the music, which is why dancing is also a great form of recreation.
7. You don't need to talk to others
At the gym, when you really don't feel like talking and socializing with others, you put on your headphones, turn on the music and immerse yourself in your own world.
