Do You Hear The Music?

In recent research, the use of music in exercise programs has been found to:

• Enhance the experience for participants
• Add interest
• Facilitate adherence
• Lessen perceptions of difficulty, monotony, and exercise discomfort
• Older adults showed a preference for instrumental music.

We encourage learners to read this research paper on the link between music and adherence to exercise plans.
