Tim Burke Shares His Workout Playlist (And Why You Need One Too)

The right song can inspire you to crank out another set or log an extra mile. Here are some reasons to rock out during your next gym session.

A good beat can help you keep pace.

We all know music can be fast, slow, loud, quiet, or anywhere in between. Which is great for the 5k runners! Making a playlist that can help you slow down and speed up when needed is a great advantage you can have while running in a 5k. Even if you are not running a 5k but working out on the treadmill, having a play list to help you stay on pace is amazing and if you’re jamming, you might not even notice you’re working out!

Music can elevate your mood.

People tend to listen to music based on their mood.  Therefore, having a music playlist that is upbeat and keeps you happy will elevate your mood. Also by choosing upbeat songs, exercisers are more likely to sustain a high level of intensity. No matter what happened an hour ago, you can use your tunes to help you escape negativity and power you through your workout.

Keeps you focused

Listening to music will cause you to focus on the music rather than the pain or exhaustion you may feel during the workout. Therefore, pushing you farther than if you weren’t listening to music.

Even World Long Drive Golfer Tim Burke listens to music while working out.
