#21 - What is Mindfulness? Moving Well & Music in Fitness. Good or Bad? - An Interview With Jessica Bowman

How much do you love listening to music when you work out?  I certainly do - I’ve got playlists for every mood and type of workout I plan on doing on a given day.  But one variable I have never really considered, is the volume that I choose to listen to the music.  Especially when you wear headphones, all the audio output is going straight into your ear canal, and depending on the volume, it may only be a handful of minutes until you are already putting your hearing at risk for permanent damage.  MINUTES!  It’s incredible how easily we can lose track of this and over time, you’ve turned it up little by little to a potentially damaging volume level.  Jess and I discuss this, her permanent hearing loss, how she mitigates damaging her hearing further and simple steps we can take to prevent it from happening to us as well. Thank you Jess for being so passionate about this and I hope we can create more awareness around the issue! Enjoy FIT UNITED FAM! THANK YOU!
