Why 150 minutes?

Many studies have shown that moderate to vigorous physical activity is linked with lower breast cancer risk, so it’s important to get regular physical activity. The American Cancer Society recommends that adults get at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous intensity activity each week (or a combination of these), preferably spread throughout the week. Getting to or exceeding the upper limit of 300 minutes is ideal.

[Excerpt] Six Fitness Brands Using Music to Build Their Followings

Most people work out to music. But these days, fitness junkies with music obsessions can do far more: From boxing directly on the beat of a Drake hit to taking a cycling class with Christina Aguilera and slashing obstacles in virtual reality to the tune of classical symphony.

...

Below, explore the six key fitness brands turning up the volume on music, what they offer music fans and what's coming next.

...

ECHELON

The workout:The workout sells bikes, treadmills and rowing machines that connect to an app and has studios in Chattanooga, Tenn., and Miami.

Big music moment:The company’s partnership with Pitbull is the first of its kind, but its music team curates playlists for over 2,000 classes each month. Many have Pitbull’s attitude. “He’s high energy, he’s fun, he’s a party,” says CEO Lou Lentine. “We don’t want to be a boring fitness brand.”

Up next:A possible Pitbull concert on the roof of ’s Miami studio, a combination artist-interview-and-workout series called Walk and Talk and a broad partnership with another major artist that will be announced soon.

I love adding this to my training (rowing is a really great cross-training option for yoga!) and feel myself gaining some serious strength and endurance.-Amber

@

I've added a new player to my home workout team...and this one is a super star! I've been using theRow-s for a few weeks now and I'm so excited to share it with you! It's been the perfect addition as it incorporates a full-body, LOW IMPACT yet, high intensity workout! -Jenn

Recently added this beauty to our home gym and I can see why it's considered their most advanced rower yet....It's definitely upgraded our workouts to a whole new level.-Linh

@

The class levels move from beginning to advance and the instructors focus on teaching proper technique which is so important with a rowing machine. The classes are fun and engaging and there’s a community aspect so I never feel like I’m at home by myself working out. -Sapna

@

One of my favorite rowing classes is the scenic view of Dubai which gets my heart pumping but also disconnects me from work, social media and my toddler's demands! LOL I am definitely a more patient, relaxed and focused person when I am done with one of my rowing exercises. -Nicole
