“Music has an amazing effect on us in terms of our motivation, tempo and self-concept,” says Matt Roberts, or trainer to the stars as he is commonly known due to his links to the Prime Minister David Cameron, Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden and comedian Michael McIntyre.
“Choosing a playlist that doesn’t always have you reaching for the next track button is vital as you don’t want any negative distractions and need music that is going to fit the speed and mood of your workout. Running might be different to yoga, and cycling different to your weight workout, so choose a style that is going to fit your moment. My playlist features a mix of old and new, but all great tracks that leave you feeling like you want to do more.”
