BUS 449a Music, please

Hello, dear gym freaks!
Do you like working out with music? Or do you enjoy the piece and quiet of a training? I personally can't work out without my headphones on. When I'm not listening to anything while at the gym, sometimes I feel like I'm getting too lazy and sluggish because there's nothing to keep me up. Music really helps me keep going especially when on the treadmill or the cross trainer.
This is one of the major reasons I truly enjoy group exercises such as aerobics or zumba - the music the instructors play is so lively and energetic it does not give you a chance to stop and you want it to keep going so you keep training, as well. I think it's a great motivator in such cases and  really helps me go on instead of give up, leave and go have some french fires.
Some people enjoy reading a book or watching a video while working out, but in my opinion music can boost your productivity in a way nothing else can. This is one of my favorite songs to listen to while training.
So, what do you guys do when working out - radio, book or you simply concentrate on the training? Let me know in the comments below:))

  1. Since Spotify was introduced in Bulgaria, I rediscovred music in many ways. There are many playlist which people create for one reason or another. One of them is to create gym playlists. I use one particular while doing my "Just 6 Weeks" exercise routine.

    1. Spotify is great. My favorite playlists are Pumping Iron and Power Workout from the Workout section.

  2. I just can't train without my headphones on. It seems they give me extra power. This is how I look if I forget them before work-out: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-voPhrGTe1Mo/Um_Z4bhThuI/AAAAAAAAB78/SgWc5dUPrZw/At.Gym.Forgot.Headphones.jpg :D
