"Will Listening to Music While I Workout Help Me to Burn More Calories?"

POSTED BY: Stephen Cabral | July 30, 2008 | 10:22 AM

ListentomusictoburnmorecaloriesThis was a great question I got from one of my readers last week.

The truth is the right type of music really can help you burn more calories while you workout.

Here are 3 reasons why:
1. The more beats per minute the music has the more inclined you'll be to keep up your pace
2. Your favorite type of music will no doubt motivate you to exercise and maybe even go a little further than you might with nothing to push you
3. Just the act of having headphones on at the gym will keep you from getting distracted from taking breaks and talking with others or having people come up to you to chat. Save the water cooler chatting for after your workout…

So go ahead and download your favorite music, create your workout mix, and hit the weights!

You can hear samples of "Skinny Songs" at www.skinnysongs.com. It's a fun work-out disc!
