Workout Music

[Ensam]

No, it's about getting a rhythm to workout to. It's not necessarily about being "pumped up" lol, but there have been studies showing the benefits:

Music and Exercise



There's a lot more, but that's enough to make the point that what you listen to does effect your workout in general. If what you normally listen to is all rhythmic and steady then I guess you were following the advice without even knowing it.

Interesting read :up:

I hope I'm not the only one that lol'd that Len Kravitz wrote it.

I did "lol" at that, although I'm pretty sure the other Len Kravitz doesn't have a PhD, lol

When I run, I just want something to help me zone out and keep going.

When I lift, it definitely helps to have some badass music blasting in your ears. My personal favorite workout album is "The Fall of Ideals" from All That Remains. Phillip Labonte screaming murder at you makes you want to lift like a motherfucker.

On days I use my punching bag it's Rise Against or gtfo.

Right, that's same reason I listen to music while working out, so at which point it's not "workout music" but "any music"

Getting technical about why you're listening to music will only spoil this thread. The fast pace mixes keep you in rhythm when running pretty easily. At the same time, the music helps pass the time going by while running as well.

There's no need to be so critical about it. Who cares if the music is used to pump you up or pass the time? It's considered music that you would listen to while working out, end of story.

There's no need to be so critical about it.

There's no need to be so defensive about it.

And I wasn't being critical, and because of my post an interesting article was posted. So I'm not quite sure where you're going.

If I wanted this thread to be derailed by people's useless opinions I'd posted in spam.

We should go tear up a club broski. I practice my fist pumping on my punching bag, so it's gonna be fuckin epic.

For cereal though, Rise Against is awesome for anything that might produce adrenalin. I listened to it when I used to parkour. There's a really old parkour video on Youtube that used "Give It All" as the music, got me into them.

[Omniyoji]

Listen to the megaman osts.

Fucking LOL b/c if that music (especially from the X series) doesn't get you pumped what will?

I like to listen to live albums when working out, brings more energy to the table for me.

Slayer, Metallica, Medgadeth, Exodus, Testament, etc.

Yeah I'm old.

Sounds like I also need to check out this Pandora app. Never heard of it before.

Yeah, I first got introduced to them when I was 16 or so. I had been ice-skating for a while and decided to start playing hockey, but the games were absolutely killing me because I was getting winded after the first period while playing forward. Rise Against was my energy music that I listened to while trying to increase my laughable power-skating endurance, and really got into the best shape of my life during this period, lol. Still trying to get back there I bike 20 miles every other day, or so, but it's slow going, lol. They're still in my line-up though as demonstrated in my current play-list
