Home exercise and music

Doing exercise at home, let’s face it, can be boring and not so interesting. But because of the benefits that we get from home fitness, especially from workouts on rowing machines, I do it almost every day. At first I needed some motivator for my exercise and I found it in music. Exercising with music, gives you needed fun and enjoyment, for successful training.

The selection of music depends on my mood in the morning and the purpose of exercise. If I am planning to do some hard workout, I prefer more powerful music, rock music. But when I got the same day some more important meetings, then I choose more easy music, maybe some classical music or some more happy music, like Abba.

This last one is one of my favorites choice. Especially after viewing the movie Mamma mia, with fantastic Meryl Streep.

Song like Super Trouper, Mamma Mia, Money Money Money, Dancing Quene and all other gives you power to row faster and longer. Especially if you also watch movie on One of the best TV’s.
