Music or nature?

Music or no music when working out?

I like music that makes me feel like Rocky Balboa! So empowering! Or HEAVY metal!

Walking and excersize sure help the mood!

Fun light topic

What do you listen to?

Does it turn you into Rocky?

[Hidden]

Sweet....i would love it if Eye of the Tiger randomly plays during your next work out (let me know if you dont get the reference)

[Hidden]

Music for me.

Ska, punk, rock and sometimes classical.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

What punk do you like?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

A lot of stuff, Conflict, pistols, SLF and others.

You?

[Fran182716 in reply to Hidden]

“ pistols, SLF and others.”

Aha, memories circa 1980!

When outside I prefer to listen to sounds around me, even if it’s traffic, aways on the alert for dogs coming up behind us because my dog is terrified of others.

On my exercise bike I listen to podcasts or audio books.

[Hidden in reply to Fran182716]

If I'm out walking it's naked, which means no music, just nature, especially in forests where I can hear lots of birds.

I have listened to audio books and they are good, when cycling its music usually, rock mainly.

Awesome!

I get a bit....sensory overloaded at times.

I like silence....or Slayer. LOL! Probably just an overstimulation but....it motivates me!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

From one extreme to the other then 😀

I feel like I was born in the wrong decade!

I wanna be an 80's girl!

[Fran182716 in reply to Hidden]

Ha! Well I wouldn’t want to return to the foofy hair perms or the shoulder pads, but some of the music was great 😀

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

What decade are you from?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well i was born in the mid 80's but hit the 90s culture. I wanted "flock of seagulls ".

Maybe ....it's not too late!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Gotcha!!☺️

Hi Hidden

I sometimes jog/run and walk outside, and I don't take any music with me - purely enjoy listening to nature, and birds singing etc.

But if I was working out in a gym, then I do like to listen to whatever is playing in the gym at the time - i.e. any energetic pop music is fine by me in that circumstance.

Makes sense!♡♡....

The real question is....

Do you feel like Rocky Balboa with the music? Lol sorry

[enigmaticide]

My go-to is usually my YouTube playlist entitled, "Angry," because THAT'S my usual M.O. Songs generally fall into the hard rock and alternative subsets: Rise Against, Sick Puppies, Disturbed, etc. Don't get me started on the band ETC. ... WHOH NELLY. Conversely, also don't get me started on WHOH NELLY. -Giggles as people try to look up those two bands-

[Hidden]

You're silly! Funny!

I like Disturbed! Sound of silence cover was very impressive

[enigmaticide in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, that was stupid good.

[Sazza47]

It depends on my mood . Sometimes I just want quiet.

[Hidden]

Rocky is definitely an American hero

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Rising up, back on the streets, took his time and his chances....went this distance now hes not gonna stop just a man and his will to surviveeee.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

This is EXACTLY what I want to feel every workout! Lol!

But....do you "music" or "no music" ?
