ENDPORPHIN JUNKIE- EXERCISE THREAD !!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME ON THIS POST Did you move your @$$ today Endorphin Junkies :Today's topic Music playlists

Music goes a long way with motivation me to work out.  I can't imagine running, cycling, or lifting weights without some good tunes to keep the energy level high.

I take a lot ot time to create a good playlist.  I also look at others music choices.  I can always use some help.  I was wandering through iTunes Essentials today and found alot of playlists.  Different genes for cadio, weightlifting.  It is even divided era - 1960's, 70's, 80's and so on...   Anyway, I could go on and on, so I will stop now.

Do you workout to music?  Is it helpful?  Have you ever bought a pre-set playlist?  I have used cd players (dropped it), cassette players (dropped it), and now the iPod nano. 

I must go now and get back on my exercise wheel !!!  WEEEEEE

I did 30 minutes on the treadmill. For me that is double what I can usually do.

JOY

I have an iPod Nano. We have music at the gym but most of it just too slow for me and the faster stuff isn't music I like. (I like rock music, especially alternative and some punk.)

I don't have a particular playlist. If a song comes on that doesn't work for me, I just fast-forward to the next one.

When I was figure skating, I had a warm-up playlist and each song I did a different type of warm-up exercise to.

I have been trying (and changing) a new playlist. I think I need to have different playlists for warmup- cardio- weight lifting- cool down. I do not know alot of the songs, so when I see a list, I go play it on iTunes. Since I got several prepaid cards ($65) for my birthday, I can really experiment. I love listening to "Who let the Dogs out?"
