Rules of Music When Working Out

These were some hilarious but true tips on some good rules for music when working out. After last week's gym experience I confessed I was laughing as I read it. All of "those" people who have to listen and are disturbed are people like me. I can't handle some of it, I really, really try, but its like nails on the chalkboard.

The rules of music when working out:

1. 140 bpm: For upbeat music try the keep the beats per minute (BPM) of the music over 140bpm.

2. Consistent rhythm: Continual beats are often better than frequently changing beats as your mind will naturally zone in and out as needed. A sudden shifting in beats may distract you from an important part of the workout.

3. Do not sing out load: I don’t care how good the song is, your voice may not be!

4. Don’t have the music so loud that others can hear it: not everyone likes the faint ‘doof doof’ of music next to them on the bike.

5. Be aware of how you sound (even if you aren’t singing): Does your breathing resemble a charging bull? Are your feet slapping on the ground like flippers?

6. When training outdoors keep the sound low for safety reasons: Traffic and pedestrians should be kept under close observation.
