Welcome to my research portfolio for the Independent Reserach program at Marriotts Ridge High School. I am studying the effect of music on different kinds of exercise. My research has covered everything from the definition of physical activity, to the differences between cardio and strength training, as well as whether or not music has any effect on these activities. I am working to produce a booklet that will serve as a guide for how to create a balanced fitness plan and live a healthier lifestyle.
