Cardio

When you think of cardio, you probably think of running or some other form of high-impact exercise. But did you know that there are benefits to listening to music while you work out, too?

Research has shown that music can help improve your cardiovascular health by:

-Reducing your heart rate
-Lowering your blood pressure
-Improving your blood flow
-Increasing your endurance

So if you’re looking for a way to give your cardio routine a boost, consider adding some music into the mix. Here are a few of our favorite Body & Soul cardio tracks to get you started:

Strength Training

If you’re hitting the weights hard, you need music that will match your intensity. These songs will help you power through your reps and get the most out of your workout.

“Catch Me” by Hardwell
This song is all about motivation, with a driving beat that will keep you moving through even the toughest sets.

“This Is What It Feels Like” by Armin van Buuren
An uplifting track that will give you the energy you need to push through to the end.

“Titanium” by David Guetta
A perfect song for when you need a little extra boost to finish strong.

HIIT

HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is a type of exercise that alternates between short bursts of intense activity and brief periods of rest. HIIT can be done with various types of cardio equipment, such as a treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, or even bodyweight exercises.

HIIT is effective for burning fat, increasing endurance, and boosting metabolism. Studies have shown that HIIT can help improve running economy and VO2 max (a measure of the amount of oxygen that your body can use during exercise). HIIT is also a time-efficient way to exercise, as it can be done in shorter sessions than traditional cardiovascular workouts.

If you’re new to HIIT, start with two to three interval sessions per week and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your intervals as you become more fit. For a challenging HIIT workout, try our 20-minute treadmill workout below.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness means being fully present in the moment, without judgment. When you’re mindful, you pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judging them as good or bad. You might start by focusing on your breath and then expanding your awareness to include your whole body and environment.

Mindfulness can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings so you can manage them in a more constructive way. It can also help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

If you’re new to mindfulness, there are many ways to get started. You could try a mindfulness meditation class or online course, download a mindfulness app, or read a book on the subject.

Meditation

When we think of the term “meditation,” we often think of it as a form of relaxation or stress relief. And while it can be both of those things, meditation is so much more. Meditation is a proven way to not only improve our mental and emotional health, but our physical health as well.

There are many different types of meditation, but the goal of all of them is to focus andquiet the mind. This can be done by focusing on a certain object (like a candle flame), mantra, or breathing exercise. When our minds are busy with work, family, and life in general, it can be hard to find the time to meditate. But even just a few minutes a day can make a huge difference in our overall health and well-being.

One type of meditation that has been gaining popularity in recent years is music meditation. This involves using music as a tool to help focus and quiet the mind. While any type of music can be used for this purpose, certain genres are better suited for meditation than others. Classical music, for example, has been shown to slow the heart rate and reduce stress levels. Other genres that can be effective for meditation include ambient music, nature sounds, and sacred chanting/mantras.

If you’re interested in exploring music meditation, there are many great resources available online and on mobile apps. Below are just a few of our favorites:
