Here’s the scene…..you’re lacing up the sneakers, ready for a solid workout and it’s time to pick the music to get you pumped up!

Studies suggest that music helps us get the most from exercise – but the fast-paced dance tunes often blaring at gyms isn’t necessarily the best.
 Instead, classical music may produce better results. Neuroscientist ,Jack Lewis, said that while various studies show that music allows people to exercise slightly harder and slightly longer – classical music has added benefits.
Studies show that compared to those exercising without any music playing, having classical music playing in the background helps relax the body. 

In addition, relaxing music has been shown to lower levels of cortisol in the body, the hormone associated with stress. 

Dr. Lewis also recommends matching music with heartbeat – with faster beats better as a session gets harder.
 A faster beat is not only more motivating, it also ‘instructs’ the brain to energize the body.
