Owen-j Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Other scores that are faves of mine for moving to - Waterworld (seriously)Dark KnightBlack Hawk DownResident Evil seriesTron Legacy Tron Legacy, good choice. I'm not sold on the film itself (saw the 3d version - not sold on that either) but the daft punk soundtrack is awesome! Quote Link to comment
Altair Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 When I listen to music, which is rare...Star Wars Soundtrack - yeah really. I get a real burst of energy when I hear the opening bars of Duel of the Fates, The Asteroid Field, or Return of the Jedi (the music from the battle on Jabba's sail barge). Same here! Star Wars music gets me pumped. Quote Link to comment
Speedy Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 What I did was download some DJ freeware that analyzed my songs to determine the BPM and put together a playlist of everything that was 153 BPM or faster. I've found that 153 BPM translates to about 10 minutes/mile when I run. Yeah, try running to I Get Wet by Andrew W.K., 182 BPM ~6 minutes/mile. Quote Link to comment

I have the entire Pimsleur Japanese series. we'll see.-ben Quote the world is too incredible to bring such ugliness into it Link to comment

I tried listening to audio books while working out, but found that my mind tended to shift focus to the book rather than the workout. I switched back to music that I didn't need to think about, and my focus improved immensely. Quote Jason Follow my adventures! Me | My Youtube | Facebook | RunKeeper Link to comment
jim Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I am thinking about possibly listening to language tapes while running or whatever. -ben I've tried that. My problem is that as soon as I start exercising at all my brain goes into lala land. I can't listen to a book at any pace faster than a walk because it feels like the pace is super super slow and I get annoyed with it. Much better to just listen to tunes. Some people ride bikes on trainers in the winter and watch movies, and I can't do that either Quote Link to comment
Garth Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 For some reason I find I work out best to WWE them songs. Being a big pro wrestling fan they always tend to make me work harder. Either that, or I tend to either throw on a Spotify playlist full of fairly up tempo stuff and hit the shuffle button Quote Follow me on Twitter: @garth_green Link to comment
