I can't imagine working out, or even cleaning my kitchen for that matter, without the inspiration of music. There's something about a beat that creates a groove for you to work to - and it's enjoyable.
Whether it's the inspirational lyrics, the driving beat, or simply a new song you love, selecting music for your workout has been proven to keep you going. The BPM of the song, the tempo, can guide the pace of your run... My challenge song is Mr. Brightside by The Killers, also showcased in the article below- keeps me hitting the pavement quick.

Create a playlist that will dictate your speed, warm-up, cool down, each rep and set, as well as music for the in-betweens to keep you psyched up.
What gets you going??
