My Body Tutor : No More Excuses

So, every time I leave NYC to visit my family in Long Island where I grew up, I take the subway from 59th street to 34th Street, Herald Square.

There is an underground Burger King in the Herald Square station and I have to pass by it to walk out of the subway station.

This Burger King is always blasting music. And it’s really good music! Music that makes me want to start dancing.

I always crack up laughing in disbelief at BK’s decision to play such loud music.

I like all sorts of music but when I exercise, I like to listen to something that gets me going. It has to have a good beat. It has to make me think and dream a little. Inspiring, if you will.

It can be rap or electronic or rock or pop. Doesn’t matter. It depends entirely on the beat.

Anyway, this Burger King always plays awesome music! And I always crack up, because when I hear awesome music, the last thing it makes me want to do is stuff my face with Whoppers and fries.

The music they play makes me feel good. It makes me want to dance and/or start exercising. I purposely walk slowly so I can enjoy it!

Yet, every time I walk by it’s crowded. Maybe people can’t get enough of their ‘Burgers and Beats’ but it’s puzzling to me.

Maybe music just doesn’t have the same impact on people as it does for me?

When you hear Rocky music does that make you want to eat? It certainly doesn’t for me. It makes me want to exercise and pretend I’m Rocky!

Good music evokes emotion and we all have our favorites.

What if every time you were craving something that’s not MBT approved, you turned on your favorite music?

The key is to make sure you have your favorite music handy.

Try it. I’ve been experimenting with this and it works like a charm.

“Whoomp there it is!”

P.S. A long time ago, I wrote a post entitled “How can you be a DJ in your life?” that explains why I want to be a DJ.
