Listening to those top workout tracks can enhance
physical performance and increase workout endurance
during a tough session. When we’re focusing on our
favorite album, we’re not noticing that we’ve just ran an
extra mile or increased our reps.

your body quicker. Regardless if it’s slow music that
helps set a relaxing effect, any music can really help.

stress. This is a crucial finding because stress causes 60% of
all our diseases and illnesses. A study found that if people
participated in making music by conducting multiple percussion
instruments and singing, their immune system was actually
bumped up even more than if they passively listened.
Reduce stress and anxiety
Music therapy and pre-recorded music reduced
pain more than typical treatments for cancer patients.
Other research indicates that it can also reduce pain in
intensive care patients.
Decrease pain
When you listen to music, you release a chemical in
your brain called dopamine– a ‘feel good’ neurotransmitter.
Valorie Salimpoor, a neuroscientist at McGill University
injected eight music addictors with a radioactive substance
that binds with dopamine receptors after they listened to
their favorite music.
