Blast some tunes
It’s no secret that music can do wonders for your workout - it’s even backed by science. Studies have uncovered remarkable results in the form of enhanced performance and endurance in runners accompanied by music matching their cadence. Believe it or not, it’s the reason that simply sporting a pair of headphones will get you disqualified at a growing list of marathons and races around the country!
