Discover the Magic Workout Music Machine

While I was working to lose 110lbs. the majority of my time was spent outdoors either running or walking. I popped on my mp3 player with my favorite workout music loaded up and I just went. On colder days, I moved inside to use our treadmill that we have at the house, but for the most part I was walking/running my way to weight loss. Given our current living situation, I am unable to use the treadmill so I have signed up for a gym membership. I didnt think I needed the gym because I had lost 110lbs. without one, but when it came time to working out in 20* temperatures, I decided it was time to bite the bullet. I have been going to the gym since November. But, up until two weeks ago I was still a treadmill head. I went to the gym, popped on my headphones and cranked my favorite workout music and I was getting a good workout every time. Then, my wife turned me on to the ellipticalthe Magic Workout Music Machine (as I like to call it.) Why do I call it that? The treadmill was great for running and the music I would listen to would always get me motivated and would help me to keep up a good intensity while on the treadmill, but something was always missing. No matter how good the song was, no matter how amazing the beat made me feel, there was always a little something missing. Then, I got on the elliptical and everything changed. Ok, ok, maybe Im being a little over dramatic, but there was a noticeable change in how my body reacted to the music. Instead of just feeling the beat and hoping that it pounded away faster so I could be DONE sooner, I was now getting into the music. The elliptical offered me a way to really get into the rhythm of the music and enjoy it, rather then just use it as a motivational tool for myself. I felt like I was dancing to my workout music instead of working out to it. I dont use the elliptical everyday, I am currently using it three times a week and running on the treadmill the other four, because I am training for a 10k in August (I have plenty of time,) but were I not training for the race I would most likely be on the elliptical everyday, so I could enjoy my workout even more. Of course, there is a bit of a downside to the elliptical, its easy to slack off. If a slower song comes on your workout playlist, you might find your pace slowing and not having as effective of a workout. This makes it even more imperative that you pay attention to what is on your workout playlist and match the music to your intensity. The elliptical takes some time to get used to because it is not as natural of a motion as walking or running on the treadmill, but once you get into it, in conjunction with your favorite workout music, it can be equally beneficial to your weight loss goals and its a little bit better on your joints.About the Author:
