At the gym, you want all the right elements to make for productive, satisfactory, and even enjoyable exercise. So, it’s important you make a sound effort into creating the best environment for applause-worthy workouts! One of those efforts is taking advantage of downloading podcasts to help fuel your workout motivation. By doing so, you are adding energy, distraction, and a way to keep the beat to increase your pace.

If you’re not familiar, podcasts are online audio files you can download that usually involve a series, regularly updated stories, music, or audio articles per se, that sometimes involve subscriptions. Here are 3 Gold’s Gym-approved podcasts to power yourself up the next time you’re at the gym:

Author and fitness expert, Daniel Gastelu’s Awesome Muscles podcast covers everything from ways to transform your body into the shape you want to seminars on bettering your nutrition.
The Tim Ferriss Show
There’s nothing more motivating than listening to fitness experts cultivating educational conversation with such notable people as Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tony Robbins. Named “Best of 2014” and “Best of 2015,” The Tim Ferriss Show Podcast continues to shine as a result of his friendly, raw interviews that cover world-class performers in a number of areas of expertise.
