I know music has a big impact of my fitness -- if I have heart-thumping tunes to motivate me, I'm more likely to push myself hard then if I was listening to something slow or listening to nothing at all. The faster the best, the better, and the louder the song, the more likely I am to push my limits. The New York Jets also listen to music when they're training, but they're not listening to the recent Top 40 hits -- they're listening to Mozart.

Head Coach Eric Mangini choose to blast Mozart's symphonies throughout practice because he's heard of The Mozart Effect -- the idea that listening to Mozart or Baroque music stimulates in the mind in a way that facilitates learning. And while I don't know how true this is, it can't hurt. Plus, he's cultivating what could possibly be the most cultured professional football team ever.
