I read an article in the New York Times about why working out to your favorite music helps you burn more calories. We here at Podfitness have known this for a while, in fact, it’s what we base our business model on.

This is all based in scientific evidence showing that when you listen to music with a high BPM (between 120-140 beats per minute) it directly corresponds to where your heart rate normally is during a workout.

In the article the Dr. Karageorghis goes on to recommend a variety of music. Everything from Salt-n-Peppa to Glenn Fry.  That’s why I love Podfitness, because I can listen to whatever I want while I workout.
