The folks over at Life AsRx (one of my favorite CrossFit “gear” sites) posted this article on Facebook a few days ago, and I thought it was very interesting.
“Does Music Make You Exercise Harder?”
It’s an article that shares some study results about the impact of music on athletic performance and focus at a variety of intensity levels. Personally, I love listening to loud and fast music when I work because I feel it helps me push harder. I never thought about it potentially being that it’s helping to distract my brain from the pain and nerves and anxiety that I may be feeling.
It’s a pretty quick read, so check it out.
What are your personal thoughts? I’d love to hear!

I think this article is very interesting! As someone who would like to work out more often, I’m very glad you posted this- maybe a new playlist could help motivate me to get back into a rhythm! Awesome stuff.
