How Music Ruined My Workout
Last night I downloaded a bunch of new music from the web. I found a lot of really good stuff, but I wasn't sure how it would be to workout to. So, I threw it all onto my IPod and thought I would discover for myself how good/bad it was.
It wasn't all bad. There were some good workout songs that I have found that are going to be great on the next round of playlists, but the problem was there was no consistency.
I started strong with one really great song and got a good pace going. Then I would take a 180 degree turn to the next song that was slow and and just sort of bounced along, nothing to workout in an intense fashion to. The next song would come on and the beginning of it would be really soft and I'd have to crank it up.
Overall it was just difficult to get a rhythm going the whole morning. I found myself reaching down and adjusting the volume. I would get :30-seconds into a song and realize that it wasn't working out so I would have to fiddle with my IPod again. I never got into a good stride and felt good about my workout.
So herein lies the reason for Turn Up My Workout. This was the first time in a long time that I had hit the gym without one of our playlists and I paid dearly for it. My workout was sub-par at best. Lesson learned: always make sure the music matches my intensity level and remains consistent throughout the :45-minutes I am at the gym!!
One more thing, I want to congratulate Taylor Swift for winning Entertainer of the Year at the CMA's last night. Simply amazing - 19 years old and just CRANKING out the hits!!

Infinite Playlists: How to Have Conversations (Not Conflict) with Your Kids about Music $9.99 ">With the easy availability and abundance of downloadable music and MP3 players, almost every teenager knows exactly how to find their favorite bands and songs online. Recent studies show that more than 50 percent of teens own their own iPod and even more search for music on iTunes. A world of influence is at their fingertips, so how and when should Christian parents monitor the music their children are listening to without creating undue conflict and argument? For author Todd Stocker, the day his son asked his preference between Van Halen and Def Leppard was the day he realized he and his son needed to have the "music talk." >Infinite Playlists is a handy guide to healthy conversation between parents and kids. Writing as both father and music-lover, Stocker calls parents to recognize music as a gift from God so they can help their kids determine the emotional, physical, and spiritual influences of their song choices. He offers a balanced look at the difference between Christian and secular music, and gives practical guidelines parents and kids can follow to choose appropriate music-together. >Competing titles may try to convince parents to hate or reject secular music or, alternately, convince them that Christian music is the only way to go. Infinite Playlists does neither, seeking first to provide parents with an understanding of God's purpose for music, then to provide biblical and respectful guidelines to aid responsible music choices. Ultimately, the goal is healthy conversation-not conflict-between parents and children so everyone can see and appreciate what music can teach us about life, about God, about others, about relationships, and about the world." |
