Someone I used to train with said that exercising to music was cheating. That you should be listening to your body the entire time and have no external distractions. Where’s the fun in that!

There are certainly times throughout a workout where you must be focussed and ‘in the moment’. You can read my article 5 ways to train like a champion for that. But sometimes, your workout needs to be about enjoyment, needs to pep you up and have you bouncing along with a big smile on your face.

For these types of sessions, I suggest loading your ipod or mp3 player with some kick-ass tunes. Even if your energy levels are low to start, there’s nothing like the Rocky theme to fire you up!

The music I will be talking about will be suitable for the following workouts; Running, cycling, cross training, boxing, boot camp, weights and anything else requiring intensity and effort. They will not be suitable for lower intensity sessions, such as stretch, yoga, pilates, relaxation.
