Build the Perfect Workout Playlist
Skip the musical roulette.
Instead of setting your MP3 player on shuffle, proactively build playlists that provide the right energy all the way through your workout.
Keep it fresh.
Pick one weekend a month to see what's new on the iTunes charts by your favorite artists and in your favorite genres so your playlist never goes stale.
Get in rhythm.
Studies have shown that listening to music that syncs with your movements provides a better workout than exercising without tunes. See how to match your grooves to your moves below.
