Let Music Charm You Into Fabulous Fitness
Brecksville, Oh Music can do wonders for an exercise routine. Whether you walk, jog, dance, or pedal a bike, music provides a boost.
“Before a workout, music gets you in the mood as you change into workout clothes and arm up”, said Laurene Neval, leader of the Brecksville chapter of TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). “Then, during the workout, it helps in several ways.”

1. Music provides motivation. Anyone who’s ever jogged to the theme of “Rocky”or “Chariots of Fire” knows about this inspirational effect.
2. Music provides a beat. That’s essential when you’re doing aerobic dance, but it also helps for repetitive movements like those of stationary cycling.

3. Music helps maintain your interest. Let’s face it: when you walk a treadmill or pedal an exercise bike, there’s not much change in the scenery. Music adds interest to a workout that might otherwise by too static
ONE SAFETY TIP: Keep in mind, if you’re wearing headphones while exercising outdoors(especially by yourself), don’t get so caught up in the music that you tune out your surroundings. Try listening with a low speaker.
