to Lose 
Music is a very powerful and influential tool in our modern lives today. We can’t get through the day without hearing any form of music from nursery rhymes to hip hop and rap. According to a study from the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, a group of women were asked to work out regularly for 24 weeks, and half of them were allowed to listen to tunes during their workout. The women with who tuned in to music during workouts lose 16 more pounds and 4% more body fat than those who skipped workouts.
Listening to music while working out is not as simple as listening to anything playing on your favorite radio station. We need to consider the tempo, lyrics, and musical style of the music were listening to. Whatever exercise you’re planning for the day, here’s an example playlist for all of them:
