I’ve been listening to Scary Pockets while working out and somehow it helps me to stay moving for hours. There’s a journal covered this topic:
Rhythmic drum patterns with a balance of rhythmic predictability and complexity may influence our desire to dance and enjoy the music. Many people find themselves unable to resist moving their bodies to the thumping beat of hip-hop, electronic, or funk music, but may feel less desire to dance when listening to a highly syncopated type of music, like free jazz.
I used to listen to fast heavy metal songs, but, for me, funk gives a different pleasure while working out.
Fascinating!
I tried listening to music while working out, a few times. Something with a steady repetitive beat (usually some form of trance) seemed to work. I find I get a lot more drive from listening to podcasts, oddly enough (no music, just talking). Something inspiring usually helps, as I’m working out my brain and my body at the same time.
