Jamming to Music at the Gym Helps Physiologically

As it turns out, listening to music at the gym doesn't only help with us keeping a rhythm and having fun at the gym, it actually makes us lean mean fitness machines because it actually re configures our body and mental state to use less energy to do more work! As it turns out from the study, listening to music gives a good base for the exercise by providing rhythm and and allowing the mind to focus on other things than the activity at hand. This would make sense because then the body would act on its own in repetition to continue the exercises without hindrances, which increases the work done with less energy physiologically. Even miners sang songs to get them by with a little more ease! So the next time you hit the gym, be sure to remember those headphones!
