Metro.Style Team

<p>Secret’s out! You dare to be fit but the thought of lifting weights and hitting treadmills feels like a Herculean task. You wanna push through your exercise routine but you just can’t seem to get in the zone. Well, that’s totally fine—cause even a fitness enthusiast runs out of motivation once in a while. Perhaps, we all just need to find the rhythm to amp up our workout. And guess what? Case closed–music is the maestro!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9c905478-bff9-450b-9cdc-c9fb0cecde1d_pexels-olly-3776837.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Incorporating music into a workout is like having a built-in metronome that keeps you on track and in sync with your drill. As a matter of fact, music makes exercise easier in several ways—a mood and endurance booster, a natural combat to fatigue, and a mental bubble that blocks out distractions. Looping in the science bit, music sets apart your mind from the physical strain of exercising, triggering the release of feel-good chemicals like dopamine and endorphins. Prolly now, everything starts to make sense–as to why gyms always blare those high-energy tracks from a killer playlist!</p><div><br/></div><p>So, need an extra push to get through your workout? Here at Metro, we care to share! Hitting 2020s, we rolled out the best workout songs to get your brains motivated and help you reach your fitness goals!</p><div><br/></div><p>Pop in, press play, and get the gym party started!</p><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy"
