This Simple Trick Can Boost Your Workout Endurance by 20%

A University of Jyväskylä study found that recreationally active adults cycled about 20% longer when they listened to music they chose themselves.

The effect was seen during stationary bike exercise, compared with silence, without major changes in heart rate or lactate.

Self-selected music appears to boost exercise endurance without adding strain.

Researchers say this could be a simple, no-cost way to improve workout time and help more people stick with exercise.
