How to energize your workout with music downloads

Listening to upbeat vibrate music during an exercise
workout is an excellent method for completing a set. Music
downloaded to a MP3 player directs your thoughts and
actions while in a gym or jogging outside. Your brain and
body react to the tempo, the genre and the volume of music
to the ears.

A group of discouraged workout clients were recently polled
asking why they feel burned out trying to get back in
shape. The most common answers received were boredom and
lack of concentration to stay the course.

In the quest to provide the best environment for guests,
the health club industry has invested heavily in flat
screen TVs and wireless audio transmitters. What they
failed to test was the medium. TV is still TV. Whether on
a big screen or small screen, the shows have not changed.
In fact, if you want a serious down mood, watch the local
noon news. That will not get you pumped up to push harder!

In fact, my gym invested in a new wireless transmitter
system for the six new flat screens. Guess what? I have
never seen anyone actually hookup their headphones to the
fitness equipment. Why? It is still TV.

If you choose not to listen to the daily tube antics, you
soon find yourself spacing out. You can chat to your
neighbor, or hum a song in your head. After awhile, you
start to feel the pain of your arms or legs or both. Then
you notice the sweat dripping constantly down your back.

You start to think about your body type. You may look
around and ponder the bodies that are rock solid and fit.
The self conscious voices may start to talk about your
"looks". The result of this inner conflict is a slowing in
intensity of the exercise. When will this be over? Maybe
I will push the "cool down" button on the bike. No one
will notice but me.

The secret, my friend, to a vigorous cardio workout that
stays the course is positive, lively music. Think about
the last time you were singing in the car, clapping your
hands and swaying back and forth to a tune. Yes, we all do
it hoping not to be seen! Your mental mood is much happier.

The invention of the small MP3 player has transformed the
music industry. Now, a computer, the internet and the MP3
player create an on-demand library of virtually any type of
music. Music from around the world is easily downloaded
and stored.

I have a love for contemporary Christian music. The more
drums and trumpets a song has the better. I will get
online at night and within a few minutes download music of
my choice, my genre, and my tempo for my workout.

After starting out with slower music to clear my mind of
the day's events, I step it up to rock the elliptical
machine! You will find yourself wanting to sing out loud
because this is your favorite music.

What happens next is the miracle. You glance down at the
computerized display on the cardio equipment. You are
already one half of the way through your workout. This is
the best time to ADD more minutes to the clock.

You also have not heard any moaning from your body. You
hear no inner voices wanting you to stop. Your mood is
incredibly positive. Some songs will actually have the
same beat as the pedals on your feet. This is fantastic
when it works. You are in the zone now.

After 10 songs are over, you have pedaled right through the
cool down cycle and the clock has stopped counting. What a
rush that creates. Will you contain yourself and not dance
down the hall to the showers?

More than likely, you are reading this article on a
computer. Download music from the many sites available for
nominal cost. Our website's Blog has numerous links to
great music download sites.

In conclusion, skip the TV. You owe that to yourself. Do
not allow the boredom and lack of concentration to derail
your workout. Power up the MP3, load some great songs with
fast beats. Mix up the music tempo if you are moving from
one set of equipment to another. It is now OK to sing back
to the showers!
