It helps me run. It keeps me moving. It keeps me company (on those long runs). It makes it so I can't hear myself breathe hard (which is helpful). It's mine. The music I like is the best music in the world, according to me. Therefore, music is personal. But today music is simply a tool for working out.
I want anyone reading this to share with me 3 songs that you love to listen to when you work out. Personally, I like songs that have a medium to high beat per minute. I try to mimic the beats to my steps. Here are my 3 recent songs I want to share that are on my playlist at this very moment:
Noah & the Whale - "5 Years Time" - it tricks me into thinking it's warm out [good for those long straight-aways]
Tokyo Police Club - "Be Good" - dunno, just like the beat [good during the 1st mile]
The Von Bondies - "C'mon C'mon" - an older song that I used to listen to when I "used" to jog [good for those damn hills]
***One last note, I am not a "lyrics" guy...I mean, sometimes I hear them but usually I just pay attention to the music and not what they are actually singing about (this has caused some interesting situations btw)***
Now share with me 3 of the songs on your playlist!

1. The Ting Tings - "Great DJ"
ReplyDelete::a great song with attitude and beat
2. Scissor Sisters - "I Don't Feel Like Dancing"
::this song usually makes me want to burst out in song and dance - which is a good workout always
3. basically all the songs on the Foo Fighters "Echos, Silence, Patience, and Grace" album
::my personal favorite Foo Fighters album thus far that rocks hard and makes me want to work out... well - hard :)
Sweet...thanks for the new songs! I added them to the playlist:) I didn't know which song for the Foo Fighters so I put the single on there...I can see how that song works for you. There was a song off of one of their album "the Colour and the Shape" called "New Way Home" that I used to love running to:)
