Here are 5 fast facts about music’s direct impact on your physical capabilities:

1. Music leads to subconscious motivation, which can help physical performance, by influencing both your heart rate and brain waves.
2. As the music gets louder and faster, your breathing patterns actually sync up with the beat.
3. Music activates the subcerebellum and amygdala which control emotions such as pleasure and decrease interactions between the areas of the brain in charge of communicating exhaustion.
4. Listening to music with a higher BPM (beats per minute), results in neurons firing longer with stronger pulses which lead to an amazing workout minus the instant fatigue.
5. Lyrics that include positive affirmations or associations are also powerful tools to get you through that last repetition.
