Why you should consider music when exercising.
Exercising regularly is good.
Music is good.
Combining the two is really good.
Studies clearly show listening to music when exercising;
🎵 Amps starting motivation.
🎵 Helps dissociation from discomfort & boredom.
🎵 Improves coordination & balance, and
🎵 Drives up confidence.
Studies show the ideal tempo is between 125-140 bpm with a repetitive chord pattern supported by a strong bass & drum.
Songs like the Eagles, Already Gone, Tom Petty’s, Learning to Fly, Ritchie Valens, La Bamba, Green Day’s, Brain Stew, and ACDC’s, Who made Who, tick these boxes.
If you’re in an action lull, dial up your favourite playlist, turn it up, and get moving.

The #1 Dietary Timebomb to avoid this year-end period.
It’s the end of the year, and for many, a metabolic test.
For many, this means consuming alcohol, typically more than is usual.
To avoid treating your body like a rental car and needing a major overhaul service in February, can you please avoid drinking alcohol and consuming sweet, refined sugar-laden food in combination.
Alcohol brings fun…and calories. See the calorie value below.

Alcohol and sugar-based carbohydrates together cause the body to favour using sugar (raised blood glucose) as the main source of energy. Alcohol (energy) will be swiftly and efficiently stored as fat.
Consider eating a moderate portion of whole, unprocessed protein and healthy fats when consuming alcohol.
Ideally, beer, wine and spirits free of sugary mixers are typically best.
