Did you know that listening to music can actually help you burn more calories? There are a few ways this can happen. One way is when you are exercising and listening to music. Exercising and listening to music helps your heart rate beat faster, helps you work out longer, and helps you push yourself harder. The music "pumps you up" and if the beat is faster you will be working harder to stay in tune with the song. In turn this all helps you burn more calories. In dance music is listened to the majority of the time. Like a soccer players relationship with a soccerball: a dancers relationship with music is crucial. The benefit is that dancers are burning many calories just by training and listening to music. Another way music can help you burn more calories is by listening to it while you are eating. Listening to mozart or a soothing piano while eating dinner causes you to eat slower and take smaller bites. This then causes your body to digest the food better and improves your metabolism. Your body will be able to breakdown the calories easier. However, if you are listening to fast rock or pop music while eating your body will do the complete opposite. The music causes you to eat faster and take larger bites of food. In turn your body is having a harder time digesting and your metabolism is slowing. The calories are not being broken down quickly and therefore more are remaining in the body.
A third way music helps burn calories is by just listening to it! Researchers have found that listening to music in general can cause a person to burn 1 calorie per minute. If you are sitting in your room and listening to music for 30 minutes you can burn 30 calories! This is mainly because music (especially music that you like) causes a person to become excited and gets their heart rate up. Even if the music is slower or soothing you are still in a pieceful state of mind and your body is excited for that. However, this does not mean that you should replace expercising with sitting on the couch and listening to music. you only burn some calories...not even close to as many as exercising.
Now you know a few reasons why music can help you burn more calories. Just remember to try and listening to music while working out or exercising, down load some mozart for dinner, and when you want to relax blug in that favorite tune.

I found it so interesting how music alone can help you burn more calories. I agree with your article completely just sitting there listening to music people tend to find themselves bobbing their heads or increasing their heart rate. Also, in running I completely agree you need music because I find if I don't have music I don't run as far or as much because I'm bored but with music it makes any exercise more interesting and pleasing to do. Great job.
I agree with listining to music when working out. When i go to the gym i usually bring my i pod. Some songs that i listin too really "pump" me up and get my heart pounding. Id tell anyone that needs a little jolt while wrking out to listin to some good music at the ame time.
I strongly agree with your blog, I love it! When I go to the gym, music is an essential, not only does it motivate me to actually get there but it makes me enjoy it. For me, music is literally a motivator in all situations. If I'm not in a great mood, listening to music does "pump me up." I've heard previously that listening to classical types of music helps you eat slower along with having a bunch of other benefits. The last part was very interesting and surprising although it makes perfect sense. Awesome job!
