As most people know, when one exercises at the gym they often listen to music. Everyone is walking around with their MP3 doing their thing. This brings me to my question, have you ever wondered what other gym-goers are listening to? My iPod is quite the eclectic collection; I know, most people say that, but it is the truth. There is so much going on on my iPod I don't really know where to start.
I know that when I am at the gym I like it hard & fast, my music that is. The faster the tempo, the more focus I have; with that in mind, I also like dance music/hip hop. Fast moving music is what I need to get moving. OBVIOUSLY!!
I did a little bit of research on the topic and here are my results:
Another popular thing to listen to is Pandora radio. I love that idea! I am going to have to try that route.
I also found out that no one listens to pod casts, & some don't listen to music at all, they prefer the quiet (not sure what gym they go to, but mine is hardly quiet). Some people at my gym even plug their head phones into the TV an just listen to that.
Music therapy has become more popular then ever, it is helping people get through work-outs each and everyday, but it also can be soothing after a break up, or death or bring you to a place you haven't been for years. My iPod may be eclectic, but most of the songs come with a memory or story, so if you see me smiling while I am at the gym, I may be thinking of that time when that happened & this song was on...
Tell me what you love to listen to at the gym or while you work out!!
