If you’re a gym rat who’s struggling to find enough time to catch up with all the books you want to read, you should consider listening to audiobooks the next time you hop on a treadmill – and here’s why.

Multitasking

It’s sometimes impossible to find enough time for everything you want to get done, so why not kill two birds with one stone? Replace your workout playlist with an audiobook, and you’ll get in shape while letting your imagination roam.

Hi everyone! I am back after a week and this time with the intention to introduce you to the magical world of audiobooks. If you go back a few posts on my profile, you’d find my review of The Poet X, a novel in verse. The book was so enchanting especially because I accompanied my reading with the audiobook version that is narrated by Elizabeth Acevedo herself. ~ @storytel.in is an app that surpasses all its competitors in giving you the most comprehensive catalogue of audiobooks possible. As somebody who’s wary of trying anything new, I was pleasantly surprised to note how enhanced my reading experience became when I supplemented it with the audiobook of the physical book I was reading. The app is super helpful for those who commute to work/are auditory learners/are often too tired to read but have been looking to inculcate the habit of reading. ~ I know that there’s often this debate regarding audiobooks and how they are not really books but we need to realise that we all learn & grasp differently and let nobody tell you otherwise. @storytel.in has a wide range of choices you can pick from. It has a good mix of regional literature as well, which I was happy to see. ~ Storytel offers 14 days of free trial but you can get an exclusive 30 day trial, go to storytel.com/audio ~ Get your app now LINK IN BIO ~ #StorytelIndia #Audiobook #Audiobooks #audiobookstagram #storytelapp #books #bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bibliophile #literature #bookevents #bookfest #bookclub #indiabookstagram #audiophile #bookreader #womenreaders #booksforwomen #storytelling #stories #storytimethread #storyoftheday #BOOKREVIEW #bookworm #booktube #bookaddict

Motivation

If you’re one of those people who won’t stop reading before finishing up a whole chapter, audiobooks will serve as a great motivational boost. They may even encourage you to work out longer than you usually would, especially if you only listen to them at the gym.

Teaching Tool

If you’re finding it hard to focus on fiction novels during your workout, picking other genres is always an option. You can even download audiobooks about fitness and nutrition, and use them to come up with new ways to improve your workout.
