The soundtrack that is motivating or coordinated with your workout, in particular, has been found to have physical and psychological consequences. When a song has a strong, consistent rhythm, for instance, you can pedal or run to the beat of the music, which feels rewarding and may drive you to work out more. The words or appealing rhythm of motivating music pushes you to work out longer or harder throughout your workout regimen.

According to a 2006 study that looked at the influence of music on treadmill speed selection, participants increased their pace and distance travelled when listening to fast-paced music without feeling more exhausted. Other research came to similar findings, suggesting that listening to music with higher beats per minute can improve functional ability during low-to-moderate-intensity exercise.
