Blasting your favorite music during a sweat session can help you strengthen musicles faster than when you workout in silence, new research suggests. A study from Dalhousie University found that exercisers who heard a motivating mix while doing leg presses performed about 16 more reps than their music-free counterparts did after four weeks.
Create your own mix of all your favorite songs that get you fired up! Or let Pandora do the work for you – type in an artist or band that always pumps you up, like Black Eyed Peas or LMFAO, and you’ll have a steady stream of music to last for hours. They even have a workout category with stations from electronic cardio to hard rock strength training!
