FMM: What’s On Your Workout Playlist?
This isn't a great question for me since I work out with music less than once a month I'd say. My usual workouts are bootcamp (no music, I'm listening to instructions), and running (no music, I'm talking with friends), and lately walking (again, no music, I'm not alone). And even when I run solo, I'm a safety girl, so no music (I wrote about a runner here on the trail right by my house who was listening to music and hit and killed on a path closed to vehicular traffic by a person on a bicycle).
So bottom line is, I have a list, but it's old and very rarely used. I probably made it about 4 or 5 years ago. But once in a while, if I'm stuck on a treadmill, I'll bust it out. Don't judge. A few of them are the right number of beats per minute for my cadence, so maybe I can use that as an excuse?

Well, that's amusing. Apparently Eminem and 50 Cent are the most frequently appearing artists in the mix, neither of whom I listen to with any regularity. Oh well, it is what it is. I'm not a super-musical person.
I used to have an awesome marathon mix (started with Sunrise by Norah Jones), but the list I happened to pull up for this exercise was just called Running, so there you have it.
Now it’s your turn to share your list. Don’t forget to go back to alltheweigh.com to link up in the comments! Happy Monday!
I understand picking music because it has the right beat. My playlist has several songs on it I only use because they have the right tempo and get my feet moving! The rest of it takes me back to high school . :P
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday!
You have Gasolina (so do I) I'm loving your list so much I am going to get all those songs together. Thanks for the safety tip, I dream of becoming a runner-I'm a walker for now- so I know to be alert.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from FMM again
For myself and the way I work out. My very best bets are just something I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI do work out on the street, but I have only one earbud in, so I can hear my music but also the world around me.
I loved seeing NKOTB on there. Makes me smile a little bit.

I forgot to add that I've been listening to a bunch of Pitbull lately, too. The music just makes me want to move (your Daddy Yankee song reminded me). I don't normally listen to hip-hop or reggaton, but there is something about the rhythm that really helps me push myself in my workouts.
ReplyDeleteEminem has a great beat to his songs...very workout friendly for pushing yourself.
