Working out

Posted at 3:21 PM on February 13, 2007 by Christina Schmitt (3 Comments)

Complaining about the music at the gym is like wishing a work colleague who sits near you wouldn't type so loudly -- why bother? The soundscape isn't going to change, you need to be there, so you might as well put your headphones on, crank it up, and control your own aural environment.

What's your favorite music to work out to? Which tunes are in the warm up, heavy cardio and cool-down portions of the work out?

For me, I take a kickboxing class and the iPod is not an option because I need to hear what my teacher is saying. And while he's awesome, I could do with a change in the playlist--which features a heavy rotation of the Jackson family oeuvre, from the Jackson 5 to the Thriller era to an entire CD of remixes of Janet's "Nasty." That music is great is small doses, but this has been going on for months.

I'd love to hear what a Current DJ would cue up for a good jab, cross, hook, cut, cut, front kick, roundhouse work out.
