Student Fitness Journey: Music Always Helps

During my student fitness journey I've learned how music truly always helps the hard way. If there is one piece of advice I can give you through-out your own personal fitness journey, it’s to use music as your working out. When I first started my journey of a women in fitness I felt like I didn't need music, I would just listen to the radio that they played in the gym. Little did I know what I was truly missing in my daily workout.

When I would do my 20min 5.0km jog it would start off pretty easy. I would start the clock and for 10 minutes I would think about some of the stuff I need to get off of my to-do list. Once I finished about that I would start thinking about other things to make the time go by. At about half way into my run I would have ran out of things to think about and this is when I began to get tired. I would begin to look at the timer more frequently than the first half of the jog and was hoping for it to be done as soon as possible.

It has been said that when music is used during the time of physical activity, it can reduce the exhaustion levels and can boost the physical workout. During my fitness women journey I find this to be very true since when the music is on I’m not focused so much on what I’m doing but what my song is actually playing. The music is like a small distraction that is used your benefit to make the workout more worth it for you. Just always remember that music really does always helps.
