The purpose of this study was to examine whether listening to music while exercising enhances the quality of the workout, self-reported perceived exertion, heart rate, distance ran, and/or mood (tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, confusion, and friendliness). Participants were randomly assigned into three different conditions. The first group was assigned a fast tempo of music to exercise to; the second was assigned to a slower paced music, while the third condition heard no music. Each participant exercised on an elliptical machine for twenty minutes and immediately following exercise was asked to respond to the Profile of Mood States, and the Borg Perceived Exertion Scale. Heart rate and distance were recorded every minute by the experimenter to collect accurate heart rate measurements and total distance ran. Results showed no significance between the type of music each participant received and the effects upon self-reported perceived exertion, heart rate, distance ran, and/or mood. However, a negative correlation was found between perceived exertion and tension. Results, also revealed significance on a bi-nomial probability where ten out of ten participants who listened to music while exercising enjoyed it and found it to help pass the time.  Key Words: Exercise, Music, Perceived Exertion, Mood, Heart Rate, Distance
