Music at the gym
I just used my ipod at the gym for the first time and, jeez, did it help alot! I had one of my best workouts that I can remember, and I think a big reason was that I was listening to metallica as opposed to the Miley Cyrus and other garbage my YMCA is constantly playing.
Anybody else notice anything like that before?
I listen to my Ipod but I dont let it influence my workout that much. I love rocking some pantera while i lift for sure.
Life is like a fart. It stinks, but is really funny most of the time.
Hell ya!! My gym plays a lame local radio station, news, road report and the ever annoying D-Jays bantering on how good they are.... I-Pod all the way!!
Exploit the earth or die..
My workouts go by so much better with my ipod.
Yeah I know. It's so much easier to get psyched up for a set, and I think alot of it is mental so it really helps alot.
I personally dont like things constricting me, i find the wire running down to ur pocket or belt clip or wherever its clipped is annoying. I can zone in pretty good, right before a set, someone could be screaming right beside me and i wouldnt notice. I also mentally yell at myself, which works pretty well, but you get looks when you start talking to urself lol.
my ipod is great on the dreadmill but it's distracting when i'm doing squats or deads.
tread or bike... otherwise i can't figure ot where to put it. I "flooded" an ipod once by sticking it in my sports bra while working out... it got wet and fizzled out on me...Originally Posted by tiramisu
Leigh likes sticking her ipod in her sweatpant pocket, and then forgetting it's in there and doing laundry!...
all in all... better to listen to whatever's on at the gym... the good part... Elite plays All metal, All the time!
I get easily distracted (and annoyed), and the music they played in the gym always pissed me off, but not in a good way, like Hatebreed or Gojira does.... If I go to the gym, I MUST use an iPod, I can't workout without it. I find it really helps motivate and rev me up for heavy sets.. otherwise, I kinda just lose motivation and get sleepy, distracted, bored, etc.
One thing ALL gyms have in common: music sucks!
