For those of us who go to the gym good music is key to giving us the drive to push on, whether it's a pulsating beat or an epic chorus music can help get you through.
A Penn State University study found that their "sample of students report more positive emotions after listening to music, but their already positive emotions were intensified by listening to music.''
You can also use music to distract you from pain or fatigue, obviously if we're talking chronic pain or dehydration then popping a bit of Justin Timberlake on won't help, we're talking about when you need to go that extra mile an up tempo track can help you take your work out to another level.
A personal trainer friend of mine suggests to his clients to use the music in their gym to give them free interval training, so you intensify your workout during the chorus and rest during the verses. It's an easy way of challenging yourself without having to check your watch constantly - try it.
