What do you listen to in the gym?

Gummy Panda

I've been listening to the bravery alot in the gym.

Damn 20gb ipod to heavy. Got to get a shuffle for around my neck.

Anyway, what's in your gym playlist?

zAbbo

I've got a 1gb Shuffle, listening to Mash Up Mix and whatever else i fancy on the day.

Most of the equipment at my gym has lcd screens, so i can plug in and listen

D-Generate

I'm going through a spell of listening to the Prodigy at the moment, also on my shuffle.
I don't use the neck lanyard for when i am running because i think it sways a bit too much and causes irritation. I just stick it in my pocket.

Beekay

When im working out,i usually listen to Pantera but at the moment i have been listening to Chimaira and then i listen to the doors or the beatles to get relaxed afterwards

joejoem

I listen to the oohhhs and ahhhhhhs and occasionally the wuggg

Yook

Skynyrd, Guns N Roses, Alice in Chains and Clapton. The perfect combination. :P

Most/all the cardio equipment has them.

Ah but at least people wouldn't be staring at me for laughing at the simpsons when you can't hear what they're saying!!

Dublin's Q102 :rolleyes: I have an mp3 player I sometimes bring, but I'm normally carrying so much crap around the gym with me (lifting straps, 2l bottle of water, sweat towel, log book, pen and, if it's leg day, - knee wraps and a belt). Needless to say I look like those geriatrics who horde things, but it's gotta be done!

For cardio I just read.

you can. Bring a radio and tune into the fm they're using for each station. There's a board beside the spinning class room that lists them all.

It's never worked anytime I've tried it....

ClareBear

It always has to be dance music for me. I couldn't work out to anything else.

Walk at high incline and decent pace (5.5kph) - it's gotten me sub 10% and kept me there despite a 5000kcal diet... I do this for 45 mins on non training days. Best way to burn fat IMO and only exaggerated by doing it first thing in morning (with maybe a csoop of whey first)

Macka

Hatebreed Chimaira or Lamb Of God. Or if I'm in a lighter mood System Of A Down

Prior Of Taize

any trance by Morlack

any kind of build-up music really. samba music or classical (Gladiator soundtrack etc etc) is always great for boosting your mood.

Monster Magnet or Slash's Snakepit or any other metally type thing always goes well with the gym because its semi-aggressive feel good music.

i wouldnt put on radiohead when im in the gym

Mr E

Ah come on.... most of the Bends is great for the gym!

thebuyer

other peoples conversations

qz

It has to be something heavy to get you fired up for working out. Slayer / Pantera. Or then again, maybe some Daft Punk or Chemical Brothers.

Johnny_Trotter

I've been listening to SOAD - Mesmerise lately, seems to get me moving

Corksham

Bolt Thrower
Faithless
RATM
Hip hop - 2pac, eminem, ice cube etc...
Anything loud fast agressive good beat, I have an eclectic taste in music so listen to anything at all

1huge1

iRiver H10 and usually rock music

padraigcarroll
