Jillianne 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 Uh in my dancing we usually warm up to something fast and upbeat like (bad enough as it is) dance, justin timberlake or britney, remember to warm down too! I usually warm down to the top gun soundtrack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole19111 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 I'm an avid fitness buff, so I love to fill up my Mp3 player with techno for when I hit the treadmill. These are songs I wouldn't normally listen under any other circumstances. Here are a few I would suggest: -Sandstorm by Darude -Battleflag by Low Fidelity All Stars -Madison Avenue- Don't Call me Baby - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Under the same thought concept as Nicole-"songs I wouldn't listen to otherwise". Here is my list of songs... why dont you come with me little girl on a MAGIC CARPET RIDE -Steppenwolf SONG 2 - BLUR WOOO HOOOO BOOM - POD [F-18 or other explosives not required for the above songs. They jam, and the links above are not meant for political purposes. They are there so you can download the video and listen to the full song to see if you like it.] :: :: :: Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers Good Vibrations - Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch Seven Nation Army - White Stripes Crazy - Seal Gonna Make you Sweat (everybody dance now) -CC and the Music Factory Pump up the Jam - Technotronic Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen Ray of Light - Madonna Lose Yourself - Eminem Crazy on You - Heart Proud Mary - take your pick but Tina Turner has a very fast rhythm version-very good for cycling or running or aerobics. Are You Going to Be My Girl - Jet Thunderstruck - AC DC Shake a Leg - AC DC Also, when I was really into jogging, I would listen to the classical portions of the Rocky soundtrack while I was walking to the place to start my run (or while warming up). So as cheesy as it sounds there is a lot of material on that soundtrack. Also, I love Gloria Estefan's song REACH. There is a "NBC Olympic Version" so it goes along with athletics. The lyrics are awesome and really drive a person to become more centered and go the distance. Last but not least, another diva with an 'olympic' song is Linda Eder. The song is 'Gold'. She sang this to the performance by ice skater Kristy Yamaguchi during the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Olympic Ceremonies. It is worth looking into! :: Cheers!

Wyld Card 5 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Sometimes I listen to rock (such as Van Halen - Jump or Dreams, etc) but usually I go with Electronica/Techno based music, even if I don't like it. It's more energizing & pumps up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elvish 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 I listen to Rage Against the Machine when I work out on the punching bag. The first two albums are particulary good for letting out all that pent-up aggression on the poor, innocent canvas. If I'm doing a lighter workout, like Pilates, I'll listen to 311, Green Day, or something else a bit upbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Burke 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 These two songs will make you wanna go outside, take the roof down off of your car, and bomb it down the motorway / Freeway (depending on where you are) at 100 mph. Or fill you with determination for what ever your doing, they were life savers during my GCSEs! :guitar: Ready to go - Republica Elevation [Tomb Rader Remix] - U2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosmosis 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Oh 80's, what I'm I gonna do with you. Just a still town girl on a saturday night, lookin' for the fight of her life In the real-time world no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing woman into life She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes a dance It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire On a wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_jr_ 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 I find that when I'm on the treadmill, most Motown has nearly the same tempo. It's very easy to burn an 80 minute cd with a bunch of songs that you won't have to change speeds on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GentatsuNoZanshi cc61 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 Get some Japanese techno going until you explode. Something so fast you can't help but get up. Failing that, try somethine like Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys or Jump Around by House of Pain. And the Training Montage music from Rocky III is purely classic.

Jillianne 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 Off topic, but what do you all do to work out and how often, I have to do about 1 and a half workout each day, in the dance studio, which consists of.. Dancin' till it hurts Sit-ups push-ups crunches (to try and get a good 'center') and lots of leg streching and floor work.. What do you's do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosmosis 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 I do not work out but I love riding my bicycle around. I can listen to anything, but I tend to play the more hippie CDs in my collection. Even in the city, there's quite some nature and real lakes around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Card 5 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 I heard one of my favorites earlier, while working out at the gym, Queen's Another One Bites the Dust. Another favorite is Survivor's Eye of the Tiger. The music gets me pumped while trying to maintain the soreness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dancin' till it hurts Sit-ups push-ups crunches (to try and get a good 'center') and lots of leg streching and floor work.. What do you's do? Once school starts again full time for me, I work out about 4 days a week for at least one hour. - I stretch for about 5 minutes. - 50 crunches - 75 push ups. - Lotta running up and down stairs. - Racing down ramps and running back up again. - Dashing up really steep paths. - Then going to the stadium and running/trotting one mile or go up and down the large stadium steps. - Finish that up with more stretching, 20 more push ups, and 20 more crunches. * The next day might combine some weights, more crunches, squats, and cycling * I wear small weights on my ankles too :: You'd think they'd be easy to tug along until you get to the last 20 minutes - then they seem to weigh you down a lot!

Dancin' till it hurts Sit-ups push-ups crunches (to try and get a good 'center') and lots of leg streching and floor work.. What do you's do? I do a daily workout split that lasts about 90 minutes during a 2 hour period, after drinking a protein powder milkshake blended with raw eggs. My workout consists of Abdominal toning (wheel roller & crunching) Bench Press (flat, incline, & with flyes) Chest Stretching / Dips Weight Lifting (dumbbells) On alternate days, as I try not to work on various muscles during the same session, I go with Cable rowing Bending (barbells) Squats Laterals Shrugs (dumbbell) I also work on my pectorals, brachium, & splenius muscles during the same set, but that often time causes severe soreness. Sometimes, if I have energy at the end of the day, I'll do another workout that lasts about 30 minutes or so, right before going to bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
