Workout Music Playlist

5 comments

Edited: Aug 31

This week as I was ramping up my Week 18 Session 1 workout, I was especially motivated by listening to music by 20th century German composer Paul Hindemith (1895-1963):

I LOVE that you've raised this.

Workout music can make a big difference.

I'll need to try yours.

 

I have a few go-tos but I can't say they are all overly mature (or clean) suggestions.

 

So, here we go.

 

For Attack sessions, I go for the Black Eyed Peas: Monkey Business.

 

For Control sessions I generally go for Dido: Life for Rent or the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack.

 

Power sessions call for System of a Down: Toxicity.

 

Race sessions will generally either be Machine Gun Felatio: Paging Mr Strike or the Cat Empire: Cities. Specifically, The Wine Song is the PEFFECT 2k song!

Listened to the Symphonia Serena by Hindemith during my Week 20-Session 1 workout today. This piece is anything but serene!

Can't say I know my classical mudic all that well, but I just listened to parts of that and i can see why it works!

@Zerg Training Thanks for listening! The loud and dissonant passages fire me up!

    Loose foot straps

    Following a strapless 5k I decided to try rowing with loose foot straps. I was encouraged to do this as a training technique years ago when i was in a boat crew and I forgot what difference it makes. There's a huge temptation to strap in your feet as tightly as possible, but it's really not necessary. Just looping the straps loosely over the bridge of your feet - literally just enough to stop you flying backwards off your seat - gives you so much flexibility and power if your technique is right. Does anyone regularly train like this, or has anyone else even tried it?
