Want More Than Just A Beat To Dance To? You Want Workout Music
You’ve had a long, crazy day. Having just just made it to your front door, unlocked it and heaved it open, you get in, heave it shut, let your bag crash to the ground, and, finally, allow a sigh of relief. Congratulations, you’ve just survived another day in the jungle!
However, since you’re so strapping, healthy and just bursting with after-5 steam that you can barely contain your vivacity, you jump into your trackies, fish your running shoes from beneath the sofa and head out for a brisk 5 mile run, despite the 35 degree heat, probably singing on your way.
If you snorted, laughed, or twitched with scorn at that last paragraph, then please, read on. If you read that last paragraph, nodded happily and thought “What a jolly good idea!” please stop reading RIGHT NOW. Go sit in a corner, and eat a litre of ice cream and a few cakes until you become at least remotely human again and feel as lazy, tired, bloated and completely unenthusiastic as a normal person.
Despite our best intentions, exercising tends to be the first thing we let slide when we get busy, regardless of our level of fitness. It can be pretty hard to work up the enthusiasm to work out after dealing with all the stresses of the day, even if we do know we'll feel better afterwards.
Endorphins make us feel happy, and exercise increases endorphin levels. But since we don’t tend to exercise when we’re stressed or low on endorphins, it’s a bit of a catch 22. If only we could raise those endorphin levels a little before exercise time we might feel more inclined to get active.
One of the easiest – and fastest – ways of raising our moods and energy levels is music. We’ve all had the experience of appreciating a song with a great beat that gets our feet tapping and has us hopping around the house humming along. In the same way, a top workout music cd can get us up and moving when we’re feeling a bit lethargic and unmotivated.
Quite aside from the emotional benefits that come with listening to music, it also has a very real physical effect. Certain flavours of music, such as drumming mixes and rhythmic beats are believed to help increase respiration and heart rate during aerobic workouts. Music also serves as a distraction from discomfort and from that strong desire to jog just as far as the fridge and have a beer instead.
The right playlist can get you up, keep your spirits up, and then act as a relaxant when it’s time for the cool-down. Everybody’s taste in music is unique and so most people prefer a compilation of different artists and songs in a nice mix that builds up to a good pace and then, when it’s time to wrap up, helps you relax. Producers like Music Mosaic make at least that part of your workout easy, by creating a high energy workout music mix cd with enough variety to guarantee you won’t get tired of your playlists.
If dancing around the house with a mop is your favourite form of exercise and music appreciation then you’ll also find some great dance mixes that will have you gliding with the vacuum cleaner. Fair warning though, your neighbours may decide that there’s a dance party happening and decide to call the cops (just kidding.. I hope!).
Listening to the same boring songs that are regurgitated by local radio stations day after day can be almost as punishing as the actual workout. This is where the lesser-known, independent little record labels can be a saving grace.
For example, the producer I mentioned earlier, Music Mosaic (yes I am a fan, why hide it?), produces a trance dance workout music compilation that’s more than just a beat to bounce to; each song in it is a musical work of art utilising multi-cultural ensembles, world-beat and world fusion to create a truly unique sound. The music is entertaining and enjoyable in its own way, it’s not just there just to be a noise in the background.
Whether you’re working out, partying with friends or just listening to music for the sheer joy of it, smaller labels that demonstrate a vision appropriate for our time can truly enhance and liven up your experience.
In this era of desk jobs, fattening food and lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes and obesity, exercise of all sorts is more important than ever. It doesn’t have to be a drag. Grab your mp3 player or portable CD player, fill it with songs that get your feet moving, and go for broke!
