TURN IT UP!

What’s a sure fire way to instantly improve your mood? MUSIC! Music boosts mood and workout motivation, almost on the spot! Relax into the beat, let the melody guide your thoughts, settle into the lyrics or simply blank your mind and listen. Listening to a particular song is like repeating a mantra; a mantra that inspires perseverance, tenacity and mental and physical toughness. For the few minutes of the song, we are transported; no responsibilities and no deadlines, only us and our task at hand- get the best workout possible!

So next time you’re feeling down, unenthused or melancholy, turn it on and turn it up! Remember that one of the easiest and fastest ways to boost mood, and workout motivation is to crank up upbeat tunes! Not sure where to start your downloads? Health and wellness enthusiasts and Twitter leaders offer their best motivation picks to add to your playlist!
