As much as I’m a critic of technonarcisissm, the self-absorbed and frankly rude obsession with and nonstop usage of phones and the constant use of earphones, at the expense of eye contact and decency in public interactions, when it comes to cardio, music motivates.
I recommend something upbeat and with a good rhythm. I like “Jam Bands Radio” on Pandora.
Studies prove this to be true- music motivates and gives you energy. Especially longer sessions of cardio.
Take the headphones off when it’s time to be social, but use music to motivate.
