11. Survey Insights
When you work out, do you often find
yourself pausing your workout to skip
songs because they don’t match your
pace?
(If yes to previous question)
If you owned a smart wearable (like
an Apple Watch) would you use an
app that syncs your music library to
your heart beat?
12. One could think of
music as a type of legal
performance-
enhancing drug.

I just made my mom turn
around to get my
headphones. I can't
possibly workout without
music.
@Codavoci_Kyle
The right music elevates
mood and persuades
people to ride out waves
of exhaustion, rather
than giving up.
