I don't know about you, but I have to have music to workout. I don't have a special play list anymore for different workouts, I just put the iPod on shuffle and let it go. I am wondering if this is a mistake. Should I have a special play list for each of type of workout that I do? Like for a circuit, should have I have intense dance beats like Rihanna's S&M and then something a little more chill like Jem's Aciiid!? Same with running or cardio, should it just be upbeat, fast paced, get the blood flowing type of music or am I okay to have a mixture of Jason Mraz, Britney, Rihanna, and Aerosmith while I am getting my fitness on?
What do you do? Is music that important to everyone else? Am I hindering my motivation to push myself to the max by listening to a Modest Mouse tune over a Lady Gaga jam?
Apple, Inc. and Nike have made sure to partner to make the most of our workouts. Is this coincidence? Or have they read the research on the effects of music on exercise?
Read here. According to this, I need to carefully select my music to have a positive effect on my workouts. Can I get some help? What are your play lists for working out?
Music is probably the main reason I workout. That is how much I love just listening to music! I have been meaning to burn you a cd, but I need to go buy some blank cd's cuz I'm out, but I will totally burn you some music. A lot of it you may already have. I think we have similar taste in music. I listen to a lot of ghetto music when I workout... so get ready! And if you hate it I will not be offended, I will just burn you another CD! PS nice work on the official journal article.. Was that peer reviewed and everything? I am impressed! I felt like I was back in college:)
