to the music
at the gym they always play adult contemporary. it's been that way since i started visiting the Y and that was way back when i was 16 or 17 years old. 9 years later, i, haven't complained and nobody else has either. 9 years later, regardless of the age set visiting the gym and working out, celine dion's "love can move mountains" can be heard through the soundwaves while young teens attempt to push double their weight over their chest and while big-gutted fat men squat weights equivalent to small japanese hatchbacks. music like that isn't very inspiring and it sure as hell ain't energizing.

music is a big factor in getting yourself excited and pumped or relaxed and mellowed out - whether it's sex, studying, exercise or just to relax, different music sets different moods. it's no rocket science. this is precisely why when i visit the gym, i pack some sort of personal listening device. from my MD player of the past to my current ipod shuffle, packing my own customized music is as important as packing a bottle of water when i train. the headphones in my ears also act as a beacon of light for those failing to understand the anti-social aspect of me when i train (it's a gym. get serious about your training and stop talking to me like we're at a social tea party set in an english garden. shut it!!!).

anyhow, if you ever needed a serious playlist to fine tune your workout, feel free to copy mine below:
"i'm bad" - l.l. cool j
"time 4 sum aksion" - redman
"daytona 500" - ghostface killah
"follow the leader" - eric b. & rakim
"b.o.b. - outkast
"welcome to the terrordome" - public enemy
"ante up (remix)" - m.o.p. feat. busta rhymes
"living proof" - group home
"release yo delf" - method man
"wicked" - ice cube
"real hip hop" - das efx
"how i could just kill a man" - cypress hill

a classic rock/metal version to be posted soon***

enjoy....because sarah mclachlan's "adia" just wasn't motivating enough for my training.

TURN IT UP!
