Gym Music:
We play a wide range of music in our gym.  Everything from ’70s to recently released, hip hop, rap, rock, and alternative.  Our membership is quite varied, so this broad spectrum of music seems to appeal to everyone, though some songs may not always appeal to the individual. 

So what affect does music have on your workout intensity?  That’s always an interesting question and one that probably varies by individual.  There’s a study out that seems to indicate that for those that aren’t working out with a lot of intensity, upbeat music will get them to push a little harder.  The study also indicated that for those working out at high intensity, the affect of music is minimal.  Check out this article:  click HERE.  And if you have a particular style of music you like to listen to, then create a mix on your IPod or burn a CD and bring it in the next time you’re in the gym.  We welcome new playlists, just remember your audience.

Crossfit getting a little national air time via the NBA and Sir Charles who is about to start Crossfit, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfvOMIo67Kk

It would be interest to see how it goes…

Are we starting a new 8 to 9 week, 8 day cycle again? I really enjoyed the last one and it seemed like everyone was setting PRs.

On the post re: music, I love any and all types of music buit when I am lifting or about to do a WOD, it has to be intense, hard, or fast music. Don’t know what it is that it makes me work harder, want to be more powerful…
Must be that I grew up with head banging music, but I love 80′s dance music too…

Be in for open gym later today…

Sir Charles could stand a little Crossfit to get in shape…..

Deb,
I’m with you. I’m an alternative head banging music junkie. There are so many explicit words in the songs now that I suppose that only works when adults are there.

This WOD looked much easier on the white board. I’m TIRED and need a nappy.

315# 11-9-7. I finished with a 1 mile run. With the temp as high as it was, I believe that is equivalent of a normal 5k. In my mind anyway. :)
