Just found a great article in the New York Times on how choosing the right workout songs can make a difference when you exercise. Apparently we need to aim for beats per minute (BPM) that match what our heart rate should be during our workout and a rhythm that moves us (in the exercise sense, of course). The article probably just provides proof for iPod workout addicts that music does help your workout, but it is a great article. It also provides suggestions for workout songs, complete with BPM.

Enjoy and remember “the beat goes on.”
I am dating myself now. Enjoy the video.
