This project is written out of necessity for my kids. Music is their motivator. It keeps them in a good mood, increases their endurance, and it even distracts them from what they are really doing – exerting their bodies!
Having no music in the weight room is like the kids losing their phones – they do not function well! We did have a receiver that was about 12 years old. Unfortunately, it just died. There are 7 speakers mounted on the walls, ready for a new receiver, but we cannot rely on a school budget to help us.
I am sure you all can relate to listening to good music. You cannot help but feel happier and maybe even start dancing a bit! It is a known fact that when listening to music, people run farther, bike longer, and swim faster than usual without even realizing it. Music in the weight room will also help these kids work harder – and happier!
Thank you so much for considering this project. We will be able to use it for many years to come, and the kids will be extremely thankful.
