Listen to music when you work out

Yahoo quoted Kathleen Martin Ginis, a professor of health and exercise sciences at UBC, on the benefits of listening to music while performing high-intensity interval training, or HIIT.

“There has been a lot of discussion in the exercise and public policy worlds about how we can get people off the couch and meeting their minimum exercise requirements,” she said. “The use of HIIT may be a viable option to combat inactivity, but there is a concern that people may find HIIT unpleasant, deterring future participation.”
