We all typically workout to music in a gym setting or sometimes outdoors. It gives us motivation and something to get hyped to when we lift. It can be the thing that determines your output in a wod. Either being with a speaker or headphones this method no doubt of working out is popular.
Depending on your ability to by scheduling or access to equipment/ locations the method of working out to silence may be rare. You're probably saying "why would I not listen to music?". Well there are some reasons to. First without external motivation (not including coaching) the output can be seen. We can see various normal things such as lifting the same weight, finishing below time caps, or even simply performing advanced movements. Also this can reflect how our fitness can be used in real life scenarios (not in competitions or events). These can be things such as moving a refrigerator, fixing a tire on the side of the road, hiking, or even saving yourself/ someone in a dangerous situation.
A very special benefit of working put in silence is that it helps reinforce the mind-body connection. In forms such as Hatha Yoga, Qi-gong, and Pilates this method can be seen. This allows us to focus our attention to various parts of the body. To focus on activation of muscles to practicing meditation, this method can be utilized. Even if being used for weightlifting or a wod, being in tune with your body can have its benefits. Plus if you do workout in silence, to most people you'll seem nuts.
Try it out if you are able to. It may even decrease your stress levels while hearing the natural sounds of your environment. If not then theres nothing wrong with listening to music on whatever you're using.
