For the last three weeks1, I’ve been working out 4 days a week2 (brief pause while I give myself a self-congratulatory pat on the back). I’m back to playing volleyball three times a week and my shoulder was starting to get sore from the combination of too much activity and me getting soft. 🙂 The solution, get stronger.
While woing my little workout, I hook up my iPod to the little stereo in there using the Kensington Stereo Dock for iPod3. It works quite nicely.
I created a smart playlist of songs I’d rated 4 or 5 stars and songs that were in my ‘Allegro’ playlist, however that doesn’t end up being enough songs4 and I’m getting a bit of repetition. Hence the question:
What are some good “workout songs”?
Please post recommendations in the comments and I’ll happily drop a few bucks at the iTunes music store. The more I can do to make the working experience good, the longer I’m going to be able to keep this up. 🙂
One other note, the Denver Craig’s List has way more workout equipment listed for sale than it does technology toys.
- Since the workout room has been complete in the basement. [back]
- I pulled the nordic track out of storage this weekend, so I’m going to try using that on the off days from lifting. [back]
- Which can be controlled by a Harmony remote – pretty cool. [back]
- I tend towards more mellow tunes and have only started building the Allegro list – why can’t I tag songs in iTunes? [back]
