EXERCISING TO THE BEAT
Dancing to the beat
If you like exercising to music – and most of us do – then here are a few suggestions about what to listen to.
British sportswear and lingerie retailer Pour Moi recently analysed the data of 60 runs completed by a group of runners (where the runners listened to a di erent artist for each session), revealing which recording artists improved the runners’ times the most. The results: Listening to Beyoncé made them run the fastest (shaving 2 minutes 45 seconds o a 5km run), with Harry Styles, Britney Spears, Adele and Taylor Swift also found to have a considerable impact.
Listening to Drake, BTS, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry had the opposite e ect to Beyoncé, slowing the run times by up to six percent.
The 10 top artists that made the sample group run faster, in order from top to bottom, were Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Britney Spears, Adele, Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Olivia Rodrigo and Justin Bieber.
The results showed that a running workout
could be more than half a minute quicker per kilometre when listening to Queen B, meaning you could run a 5km route two minutes and 45 seconds faster than usual,.
Listening to ex-One Direction member Harry Styles was found to improve running time by almost nine percent, taking over two-and-ahalf minutes o the average 5km run.
Britney Spears (aka the Princess of Pop) is in third place thanks to her iconic tunes like ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ reducing running time by almost eight percent, taking 28 seconds o the runner’s average time – which means running 5km two minutes and 20 seconds faster.
Listening to superstar Adele could take 13 minutes and 18 seconds o a marathon.
Plugging in to Taylor Swift, whose country music can make you run 16 seconds faster, equates to saving one minute 22 seconds on a 5km jog.
