First things first: does music really contribute that much to a workout? Does it really influence you during that time and does it motivate you while you exercise?
Keri has only one thing to say about that...
Absolutely it does! It can really put you into the ‘zone’. Just watch the lyrics of the songs you choose, these are messages we are taking in subconsciously.

With so many songs out there, curating can be a difficult task. One could almost say it can be as exhausting and tedious as the actual exercising part!
Even when you don't want to create your own, finding a fully completed playlist can be just as hard.
Is there one artist or genre that works better than others? Probably.

However, the same music you would listen to while jogging might not be as suitable for something more relaxed like a yoga class.
Choosing only one artist/band to listen to seems so uniform, boring, and repetitive anyway.
So who does Keri think makes the best workout tunes: "Impossible to say. Depends if you are stretching, running, boxing, doing CrossFit… whatever it is."

And finally, what really counts as working out? Obviously any sport such as tennis or boxing.
Yoga might seem not as aggressive but it's quite intense and can have you sweating in minutes.
But what about dancing?
YES YES AND YES! And it’s wonderful for your soul. Dance, sing, play.
