Plus, it’s beyond boring. But even if you are jamming out during your workouts, if you haven’t updated your playlist recently or simply rely on Pandora’s random shuffle to power you through, you might not be making the most of your sweat sesh. Because, as it turns out, the tempo of the music you listen to during your workout can majorly influence your results.
Upbeat music in the 120 to 140 beats per minute (BPM) range can help distract you from workout fatigue and improve endurance by 15 percent, according to Researchers at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education. Which is good news because the longer and harder you workout, the more calories and fat you’ll burn. Plus, jamming to upbeat, high-energy music can increase the amount of endorphins your body releases, which equals a happier you.
