I run with no music this time of year because of the careless drivers and crappy roads. My gym is in my basement tho and unless its an early morning workout I have the heavy stuff crankin at all times, my extra motivation!! My music is my silence as it lets me zone everything else out but the next rep. Just wouldnt be the same without it haha

I?m in agreement with Tim. Same here on all accounts.

No way! My gym doesn?t have radio, so when my wireless earbuds battery runs out all you can here is all the people breathing loudly. It?s disturbing. I just set my playlist, mostly hard rock and some rap. Set my phone on the window sill and get to work.

My gym over here in KSA has nationalities from all over the world......so imagine the crazy crap I get to see daily. No way I could work out without them in as they tune out many things to include an Italian MTV like channel that is on the tv all the time that's way too loud.
I'm the old guy in the gym so there is no way I'm gonna complain to the young kids!

Same here. Only time I don’t have music or a podcast going is when I’m hiking in the hills.

I don't work out in a gym but when I'm riding the stationary bike at home I read on my Kindle. It's amazing how the miles just add up when you aren't paying attention to the meter.

Guys it's the No Ear Bud Challenge - I'm challenging you to try to do a workout without earbuds in.

 

[go_deep]

Okay, I win, I don't ever wear them.

I have been working out without ear buds for about a year now, but I just bought a new set of ear buds and was planning to use them this week. You are on, Conibear. I'm gonna leave those ear buds at home.

Johnbud if you complete the challenge I will email you GPS coordinates of a 370" Roosevelt Bull elk! Good luck son!

Who works-out with earbuds? lol.


I know people do it, and to each their own...

I actually recently saw a video on this.... this running coach, believed no music, focus, can do something with certain brain waves that can help produce the runners high....or kind of get you to run an hour...and its over and you felt like you just started...


Personally I think modern culture... music everywhere all the time... may take something away from focusing on the workout...


are you listening to music while you pump iron? or are you focusing on exactly what that muscle/lift should be doing ....I think arnold talked about this back in the day.... "being in the muscle" ie. focusing on exactly what muscle is being worked out atm vs. checking the cell phone.... listening to music etc...


so for me, the no ear bud challenge... lol, done, winner! ha.

honestly the only time I've had music working out has been when it's on in the gym already... college track, rock climbing etc...
