As a matter of fact, music makes exercise easier in several ways—a mood and endurance booster, a natural combat to fatigue, and a mental bubble that blocks out distractions. Looping in the science bit, music sets apart your mind from the physical strain of exercising, triggering the release of feel-good chemicals like dopamine and endorphins. Prolly now, everything starts to make sense–as to why gyms always blare those high-energy tracks from a killer playlist!</p><div><br/></div><p>So, need an extra push to get through your workout?
