Use Music to Improve Your Workout

Follow the beat—(l-r) Laurie Smith of Allentown, Pa., teacher Tahya and Carol Strebig of Easton, Pa., enjoy a FitRhythms workout which combines live drumming and dance in a group setting.

Burn more calories and strengthen your heart by listening to music when you walk or run. Choose a slow song for a light workout and a faster beat for more strenuous activity. “Following a beat can motivate you, soothe you and be incorporated into almost any fitness routine,” says movement artist Tahya of Whitehall, Pa., who teaches a Healthy You class called FitRhythms™. To enroll in the next class, call 610-402-CARE.
