Several studies conclude that it is advantageous to listen to music while exercising. Music during workouts is great, people have proven to exercise longer and harder ultimately burning more calories as the music drives them. Music is a great motivator because it serves as a distraction from, pain, fatigue and the physical challenge of exercise. "For some athletes and for many people who run, jog, cycle, lift weights and otherwise exercise, music is not superfluous - it is essential to peak performance and satisfying a workout" (Scientific America, 2013).
I witness the benefit of music when I teach, people tend to move with the music, it certainly helps one push harder. Also evident is the distraction music brings, popular songs or simply a song that resonates with someone brings smiles, energy, enthusiasm and excitement - most importantly it helps people get into a zone and enjoy the moment as they work hard.
