| This occurred to me as I was using the B.O. (aka Boring Orbitrek): I need a certain kind of music to work out, and not just any will do. I do best with U2 (All that you can't leave behind) and Limp Bizkit. (Even better if it's blaring into my walkman and I can't hear myself huffin' and puffin'!) This made me curious: What is everyone's favorite workout music, and why? "Do, or do not. There is no 'try'." - Yoda ('The Empire Strikes Back') Start Atkins 9.1.03 225/198/130ish Valentine's Day Goal: 180 |

| Great question, Tara! Music REALLY motivates me. When I work out I tend to switch what I listen to depending on what mood I'm in. If I'm down I listen to inspirational music like Third Day, Newsboys, Mercy Me, Michael W. Smith. When I have some aggression to 'burn off', I go for the heavy stuff like LimpBizkit (rocks!) or Pillar and POD. I am looking forward to working out tonight - Thanks! ![]() sk8ersma (Atkins - since 1/9/04) 195/185/135 - 5'3" |

| When I lift, I like to listen to Talk Radio - seems soothing to me and I don't get caught up in the beat. When I do cardio, I really like the Pixies, Sugar (specifically the Copper Blue disc) or ska (Special Beat, Goldfingers, etc.) I never listen to music when running or biking outside, it's too dangerous.

| I LOVE THIS QUESTION!! Well, I'm biast cause i'm a musician. BUT, when I workout I usually have a mix CD of everything you could ever imagine, rock, rap, even country. Seriously, I listen from everything to ACDC "you shook me all night long" to Richard Marx "right here waiting for you." Pretty much anything upbeat or any certain song that I kind of get an astetic experience from. Oh how i wish that life was like a musical and we could break out into a dance number every 12 mintues!! Carpe Diem!!! Atkins since 8/15/03 5'4 231/189/155 42lbs GONE BABY!!! Fiesty Red-Head |

| I got to have the funk! I like most dance music, but funk is my thing when I work out! "Normal is in the eye of the beholder." Atkins since 8/27/03 240/204(140-160) |

| OHHHH! I love music!! When I exercise, and when I say exercise, it usually is rollerskating or putting that extra oomph into my house cleaning, I like listening to everything to techno remixes I am so glad you asked this question! But, if I had a favorite song to do whatever to, I think that it would have to be "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-lot. "It's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!" |

| Rock, rap, and dance music. I used to burn alot of cd's to listen to in the gym, but about a year and a half ago, I bought a mini disc player. It is great because of the amount of music I can keep on one disc. Plus, you can record and delete from it, so if you get bored with a song, you just take it off and add a new one. Its great and I really recommend getting one. |
