I have found a way to help my concentration and make me last for longer – it’s all down to the magic of music. Blasting my iPod while skipping has really increased my stamina!!

 

I’ve found that trance club dance music and ska are fantastic, with a really lively beat and rhythm to get you going. Surprisingly, I also skip well when I’m listening to lively world music!

 

There are of course the obvious ‘mountain’ songs which make me really excited about the adventure ahead:  

  • Get On Top – The Red Hot Chili Peppers 
  • Night on the Bare Mountain – Mussorgsky 
  • Stairway to Heaven – Lead Zeppelin 
  • Climb Every Mountain – Sound of Music 
  • Reach (for the stars) – S Club
