There is no doubt that music goes well with physical activity, whether it’s in a gym or working in your yard. Research has shown that focusing on a song you love combats brain signals associated with fatigue, boredom or lack of motivation. Studies have also shown that heart rate and respiration increase when a person listens to music that has a faster beats–per-minute tempo than your normal heart rate.
