2018's Best Summer Workout Songs to Amp Up Your Performance! - Sky Fitness Chicago

2018’s Best Summer Workout Songs to Amp Up Your Performance!

Science has proven it but we all know that music fuels our workouts. We crank music during our MOSSA & MoveStrong classes, personal training sessions, and upstairs in our cardio and weight area. Our Sky Fitness endurance athletes and fitness fanatics put their headphones on and tune the world out during physical activity. No matter what their training routine entails, music can help athletes of all kinds get into the “zone” and perform at their best, both mentally and physically!

Exercise is hard work. Music is highly effective at distracting us from the negative parts of exercise (such as pushing ourselves to exertion) and it makes the time fly. Most people associate music with happy emotions and experience. When we listen to our headphones or Sky’s music while exercising, negative thoughts become positive and we are actually pumped to work out even harder!

Chicago DJ, Kelly Richards, believes that music inspires us to workout harder, longer and improves focus. “When focused, you’re inevitably working at the highest end of your performance spectrum.” Science shows that music boosts our ability to analyze form and technique which allows subtle tweaks on specific muscle groups or routines. Richards advocates that “certain styles of music are better” at increasing our focus due to how our brains process music.
