I am a huge lover of music. Combine that with my passionate for fitness, and it's a match made in heaven. When I first starting running and working out hardcore about 2 years ago, I simply just went by myself without the accompaniment of a friend or music. I realized how as I was running, the thought of me breathing so heavy preoccupied me to the point that it would restrict my running capabilities. Ironically, this curiosity led to me to my major in sport and exercise psychology. I've discovered actual experimental research about the relationship between specific music and how it affects a person's heart rate during a workout. It's very interesting. It explains in detail the different tempos, different instruments, and sounds that contribute to specific exercises and activities. Upon my own research I even found references to support how certain music can stimulate the metabolism and aid in weight loss and a healthy digestive system. Amazing, I know! Anyway, this only scratches the surface about my interest in sport psychology and music. If anyone wants to discuss anything related to either interest please feel free to drop a message. I enjoy talking about and listening to concepts like these, after all it is what I hope to do as a career one day.
