I find dubstep really great for a more scientific reason - you tend to settle into moving at the rhythm of what you are listening to (which can be annoying when you have good music, but at a tempo that throws you off your pace).

Every time I consider upping my calorie intake, a little voice in my head reminds me that every 3500 calories I eat is a pound that I haven't lost.
