I have always enjoyed music and often times had my ipod with me when I was at the gym. It helped get me through my tough workouts and kept my mind off of others working out as well. You know when you hear that song that you just love and you get an extra burst of energy? Yeah, that is me too. It would make me push just a little harder to reach a new level. What does it do for you?

Here is a great article on this subject.

    Music really does allow you to take your mind off what may have gone on during your day and puts you in a totally different place. I will be on my walks with my pup and have my ear buds in and start singing while I am walking. Hope nobody can hear me. Lol
