How Important Is Your Music to You Workouts?

vleebow

I realized I was getting bored with my workouts and runs and couldn't pin-point why. Until it hit me...it was my music! I was tired of hearing the same songs come up on my Ipod and realized that my music is an important component to staying motivated in working out. That being said, I bought and loaded new music onto my Ipod and found myself looking forward to working out and running again.

So...if you find yourself losing motivation, perhaps you should consider changing up your music. ;-)

Was just curious if anyone else feels the same about their workouts and music?

I agree 110%. I am the same way, I notice that when I get bored with the music my workout seems horrible. I have to change it up often. :happy:

Absolutely the same!

No music, no workouts will happen.

Old music, boring workouts will happen.

New music, great workouts will happen.

I can lift without the music, but cannot run without it.

I can lift without the music, but cannot run without it.

I truly believe you have to have the right music in order to get a good workout in.

Completely Agree!!! Sometimes I go with no music at all cause I get bored of the same stuff. I can have a good lifting workout or outside cardio without any music at all. but cardio in the gym I have to have some good tunes going or I get bored out of my mind.

I enjoy my runs a lot more when I have music. If I forget to charge my ipod, I really miss it.

I can train without music, but I find I am not as motivated and my workouts are not as intense. Good music makes all the difference.

It depends on the time I go for a run. If it's in the early morning, heavy music is too much. The peaceful sounds of birds all around is just great. But other times or on the treadmill, I need a good beat!

Tiff050709

I am the same. I am really tired of my music. I am on the treadmill for an hour and having to listen to the same playlist gets boring. Today is my day off so I am going to make a new one for tomorrow!

on days I'm not with my trainer, VERY. The angrier the music the harder I work.

If I don't have my early 90s Richard Simmons workout music.... well then there isn't a point.

I agree 100% with this:



No music, no workouts will happen.

New music, great workouts will happen.

No music... no workout.

I don't listen to music when I work out. I either to an exercise video or if I'm on the elliptical I read a book. My husband calls me a nerd. lol

I have literally walked out of the gym if I get there and forgot my earbuds. Yes, that is somewhat extreme, but I can't lift without music.

labellecanuck

If I'm doing a cardio machine, I simply can't get in the zone without music.

Crystaleyed

Music is pretty much the only way I get through my workouts. I'm not up for casually popping into the gym like some of my friends do. If I go I go to work hard and there's no way I could if I didn't have any music.

carrieous

it is absolutely critical! Which reminds me, I need to download some new tunes....
