Music Plays A Vital Role During Workout Session

Imagine yourself entering a workout studio with no music playing in the background and all you hear are the humming of the equipment, the instructors barking orders and the huffs and puffs of the trainees. You shrug and think, ‘’It doesn’t matter…” Well, hold on a second and take a step backwards; now, see yourself walking into a fitness studio that has music pumping all around it, be it from loudspeakers or with the exercisers working away to the beat playing on their music players. Now, ask yourself- which of the two studios are you more excited to enter?

There’s something about walking into a studio with a spring to your every step, a beat in your head and a tune on your lips that makes you look forward to that time of the day. Music has a way of enhancing the performance of a person. Moreover, it makes the workout more synchronized and somewhat more hyped. And it’s not just a stab in the dark; research shows that with the incorporation of music into their workout routine, a person is ‘distracted’ from the pain that they’re very physically aware of during exercising. Furthermore, it motivates them to carry on working out with greater enthusiasm, pushing them to increase the workload, level of intensity and duration.

WHEN MUSIC SPINS WITH YOU

Spinning workout trainers are not in the least oblivious to all these findings. Music has always been one of the most essential pieces of training and motivating factor in the Spinning program, the prime reason being, it plays an important role in establishing a connection between mind and body. Most people think of music as an entertainment factor and they are not wrong, but it is so much more than that. It is a tool which will help you pedal further to greater heights.

Music empowers your mind to be aware of the connection between your body, the bike and the environment as an entirety. The rhythm makes you to not just maintain your tempo but to actually push yourself further so that you become amazed at your own scope for an increased level of intensity. It also inspires you to endure the workout for a longer duration without overexerting yourself. On an emotional level, the music raises your spirit and calms you down and, yes, you need that to get going more efficiently with your spinning.

Furthermore, nothing encourages you better than seeing yourself pedalling on the count with everyone else in the studio. It makes you want to keep moving which is why people who love to dance are attracted to this specific workout. An upbeat tempo makes you want to work out harder than a slower tempo song but too fast music is not advisable.

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTE

Any random music will simply not do to put you into the zone; every spinning trainer knows that very well. Hence, the music selection is a crucial step at the onset of every spinning program. Certified Spinning Instructors receive training in the selection and use of appropriate music for each spinning class during which they are exposed to all kinds of music genres ranging from classical to new age, pop to rock, etc. Of course, the selection of music from one trainer to another will vary and so will its effectiveness because training is just one factor; personality, taste and experience will also determine how much of a ‘feel’ the trainees experience and benefit from their instructor’s choice of music.
