What music do you walk to? The walking music you choose may impact the effectiveness of your workout. Researchers have studied the link between different types of music and exercise, and they have found that choosing tunes within specific BPM beats per minute ranges can help you reach your exercise goals. If you want to set the right pace, selecting music based on its beats per minute BPM will help you keep in rhythm. Different workouts will call for a different BPM range. You might also choose songs with different BPMs for different parts of your workout from warm-up to cool down. In a study sponsored by the American Council on Exercise ACE , study authors explain a principle called entrainment or synchronization. Simply put, our bodies like to move to the beat of the music. When we are walking, we want to step in time with the rhythm.
