Forget about your drink bottle and towel, earphones are THE MUST when packing your gym bag. l am sure you can agree that the thought of exercising alone without music makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry! It can seriously make or break your workout. Think about how many times you have nearly thrown in the towel, then a kick-ass tune plays giving you a burst of energy to complete your reps. Or what about how long ten minutes on a treadmill feels? Hands down the longest minute of your life when you have nothing to focus on but your legs.
Your favourite tunes can have amazing performance-boosting effects and even science can back this up. Music has the power to completely block out any thoughts or stresses, allowing you to give 100% focus and attention. There are so many reasons why your gym playlist has positive effects on your workout such as making it more enjoyable, hyping you up, motivating you to move, pushing your limits, reducing the feeling of fatigue, just to name a few. Majority of us listen to a playlist to make a sweaty sesh more fun and enjoyable. Lucky for you, we have done all the hard work by compiling a list of beats to help you stay on track and smash those fitness goals! Next time you hit the gym, turn it up and get ready to feel energised. We even threw in a few old favourites just for good measure, did you really workout if you didn’t listen Beyonce, Eminem or Rihanna? You can thank us later.
