Music makes you fit

See and this is why I don't mind my three-year-old wanting to listen to music all day long. He has his own disc player and he carries it around with him frequently. He calls it his "singing thing." Sometimes he falls asleep listening to music and I have to remove the headphones. =o)

Well now research has shown that listening to music while warming-up for a work out can actually boost your performance.

In fact, Dr Costas Karageorghis, of Brunel University, says that listening to music can actually improve performance by up to 20%. That's awesome! See this is why Carmen Electra and DDR helped me lose weight after I had Brae.

And it may all very well be mind over matter. I remember on the way to swim meets in high school we always turned the radio up and got psyched for the meet. It definitely got us pumped and that makes you want to swim harder or perform better because your adrenaline is surging and you're just ready to go!
