Experts divided on whether gym thump is vital for a good pump



New Delhi: 
Noise annoys. Ask Umesh Sharma, a 48-year-old lawyer. After a stressful week, he wends his way to the gym every Saturday and Sunday, eager to let the tensions ease out of his being. But frequently, he returns home in an irritated mood. Blame the Punjabi music blaring at the gym in Greater Kailash. "I look forward to those two hours to be at peace and release my tensions, but the kind of music they play doesn't help me concentrate," he says.

And yet the same raucous music can impart a sweet note into the day's agenda for others. For management student Devina Anand, it is the distraction she needs from the aches and pains of exercise. Tuning her physique becomes easier with the booming beats. "Fast music encourages me to work harder and achieve my target," she says. "Faster the beat, better the tempo of my workout."

Choosing the middle path, Mayawi Vaishnav says that it's the lyrics, more than the music, that motivate. "Sometimes it's rock music that helps me reach my target. At other times, a song like 'Zinda' from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag injects energy into my workout," says the Delhi University student.
Clearly, gym goers - and many others too -- are a discordant lot when it comes to melodies on the treadmill. National Green Tribunal, for one, belongs to Sharma's choir, having recently identified the loud music in gyms located in residential areas as a source of "nuisance".

What is it about gym music that even fitness and medical experts are unable to deliver a unanimous verdict?
According to fitness therapist and nutritionist Neeraj Mehta, different exercising techniques require different genres of music. "You will prefer soothing tunes for yoga,
but quick-tempo trance or high-beat techno will be best for cardio. Weight training can be accompanied by pop, hip-hop, even rock," says Mehta.

The one consensus among experts is that music with faster beats is usually heard in the section where the people are working out to improve their general fitness or because exercising is in vogue. It is more subdued in that part of the gym where the professionals sweat out. "For them gym work is meditation in motion -- and any music, loud or soft, is a distraction," points out Mehta. Presumably, it is easier to let gym goers tune out from the debate, and find the rhythm that best works for them.
