Exercise Your Music Muscle

It's been said that music soothes the savage beast. But when it comes to working out, it can help unleash the dragon. There is a human tendency to workout harder and longer when people exercise to their favorite tunes. Music helps distract people from the physical discomfort of a strenous workout. But not all types of music will red-line your engine; only the tunes and genre of music you really like. For example, the only thing a folk song is going to do for me in the gym is have me call it a day and roll out.
