Fire up your morning

By Crystelle Coulon

Power songs
Music is magic for energy levels. Above are the tunes you, our dear readers, get moving to (thanks, Facebook) and just why it works wonders even without a dance floor in sight. “Listening and singing along to songs first thing in the morning is a great energy booster because singing helps you breathe deeply and brings oxygen into your body and brain – both of which relax your stress levels,” says Jim Karas, personal trainer and author of The 7 Day Energy Surge (Rodale). “Play these songs for the first 10 minutes you’re up – it’ll tell your mind and body it’s time to be productive.”
