Do you listen to music or something else when you workout?

[Chazmatazz269]

Do you always listen to the same thing, or do you change it up?

[quickquesocheese]

audio books. i have a tendency to otherwise just think about the workout and how exhausted i might be during the workout (i jog and walk for the most part.) when i listen to an audiobook during my workout i get so into it that i just keep workingout with no problems. for exampel i wanted to run a mile for my first time once but when i was listening to an audiobook while i was doing it i ended up running longer than just a mile.

I actually watch YouTube videos or documentaries while exercising. I have a better attention span when I exercise and watch something.

[Chazmatazz269]

I started by watching MMA while on my own treadmill. Once i started running outside, music was my best choice. Now, i could do audiobooks or podcasts, or music, or MMA that i’ve already watched. I kinda dig the options until i remember buying cat food. Ell oh ell!

Sometimes. What I'll listen to depends largely on my mood, energy level, what I've currently been listening to, etc. But today for instance, I didn't listen to anything while working out.

I listen to different kinds of music. I listen to rock anthems from the 70s. Protest songs from the 60s and Rick and roll from the 50s.

[Chazmatazz269]

Somebody wants to be Rick rolled and might not even know it!

I always listen to music when I’m working out I like to just pop in and listen to my K-pop music or 1950s music

[OfMiceandMen]

Mainly music, but sometimes nothing at all when I am biking, just the birds and the crickets.

While running I do not because I want to be aware of my surroundings. In the gym no for the same reason. At home, I do listen, usually to something like Beethoven's 3rd.

Dificult to do as I am swimming.

[Chazmatazz269]

There are waterproof ear pods now.

[msc545]

I didn't know that but I would them be concerned about pressure differentials - that said, do you have a brand or model you would recommend for me to try?

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t use them… yet. I just saw someone in the pool with them and had to ask.

[msc545]

I am going to get some ideas from here: www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-waterproof-headphones

[Chazmatazz269]

It really is a brave new world when companies advertise athletic equipment to computer geeks!
Ell oh ell!

[msc545]

Well, the thing is that it's also possible to be both a computer geek and an athletic swimmer simultaneously. Almost. Perhaps not simultaneously but you get the idea.

Sometimes, but not always.
