Music to Boost Your Exercise Routine By Fara Rosenzweig

Music that matches your power, intensity and speed for any workout program can help you push yourself to your max. Research reveals that if you match the tempo of a song to your desired heart rate, or beats per minute (bpm), the song will help you maintain or pick up the pace. It's no wonder you see athletes listening to music before a big game or race. It gets their blood pumping, and adrenaline up.
