There are various factors that motivate a person to embrace a fit and healthy lifestyle. After an interesting comment made by a peer on my previous post, I decided to write this media experiment revolving around music and the gym. Not everyone, but a lot of people listen to music while working out. Personally, I like to listen to music while working out, specifically feel-good and upbeat music like the song above. People like me probably assume everyone listens to similar music to get their gym pump but that’s actually not true at all. I have a few friends who listen to really slow, melodic, and even opera-like music. It’s really interesting to me to see how different types of music give each individual that pump they need to grind it out at the gym.
