①Music helps us exercise—but why? Experts say there are two main reasons.
②The first is simple: Music takes our minds off exercise. When we listen to our favourite songs, our brain pays more attention to the music. For example, after 20 minutes of running, our body might be tired. But we may not feel it at once because we are listening to music. So we can exercise a little longer.
③Music also makes us want to move. When we hear exciting music, we naturally start to move to the beat. A lively and cheerful song also puts us in a happy mood, giving us more energy. But the music shouldn’t be too fast. Generally, songs in the range of 120 - 140 beats per minute(BPM) are the best.
④But is that all? Recently, a new study by scientist Tom Fritz found something more. He asked people to exercise in two ways: one time they exercised while listening to music, and the other time they exercised on special machines that let them make music while they moved. In the end, most people felt less tired when they made their own music. So, when you exercise and make music with others, it seems easier.
⑤Fritz thinks it’s because people had more control. They could create the beat themselves and make it go faster and slower. Also, it was a fun group activity. Making music together made exercise seem easier
and more enjoyable.
