Listening to Music whilst training ~

In the beginning, I never used to listen to music whilst training, however, now it's a completely different story.

Each time I go for runs, I always have music on and in the gym, I don't get a choice! Music is always pounding away from the gym speakers. So I wanted to ask everyone out there on their opinions on such.

Do you find it a distraction, motivation? Necessity or a down right no no?

  17. At the gym went to, the music was usually muffled and rubbish. I found bringing an MP3 player was a pain in the neck if on a cardio machine, as the earphone cable would flap about the place.

    Then my girl got me some cheap bluetooth headphones at xmas that I could connect to my phone. I've never been without it when training for the last couple of years :)

  19. Depending on the type of music you listen to and the general feelings you get from it decides whether you benefit from it or not when training. For me I listen a lot metal, hardcore, rock bands and this will always, always pump me up giving a sense of greater energy.
    If you make routine enough for you and then change it up you will probably get a sense that your effort is not all there.

    tl;dr listen to some heavy pump up music and stick to it haha

  20. Music is a great tool, it gives you motivation to carry on and train harder I think :')

  21. Personally I think it's a mix between your current vibe, what you music you have available and what work out you are in to determine if music is good.
    XD I know I have had problems where I would spend more time looking for a song to get into than the actual work out itself.
    Nice Post.
