Go to workout song: anything “chill” or “EDM” – no particular song. I mostly enjoy experiencing the sounds of the gym around me while working out; no ear buds.

Why music is so important related to fitness:  Music is medicine; it can decrease stress, help you fall asleep – while working out, it can help motivate you, enhance physical performance and increase endurance.
