Believe it or not, I've been pretty good about going to the gym lately. Actually, my biggest problem was motivation once I got into the gym... but I've been a lot better about pushing myself more, getting those extra two or three reps at the end of each set, etc.
The reason? Well, one of the main ones is my iPod. Seriously, I don't know how people can go to the gym without headphones and something to listen to, because the piped in background music generall sucks. That, and you can kinda go into your own little world... you're a lot more focused, and it's harder to distract you.
Now, that said, it should be obvious that song choice is of paramount importance. When I'm working out, I like it loud, I like it angry, and I like it really loud. If you want a taste of what I listen to, get your right clickin finger ready...
Coal Chamber - Sway
Geto Boyz - Scarface
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name
Static X - Bled for Days
Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Points of Authority / 99 Problems / One Step Closer
So, I trust that I'll see you all in the gym tonight?

No gym for me; I'm 45 years old and married. The gut came when I got wed. It's true, and I'm content, and healthy, so, no gym for me.

Sweet. You dig the Static-X. I haven't listened to that album in forever. I remember seeing 'em in concert when I was in like.. 10th grade. Haha.
Anyway, yeah.. I've been trying to hit the gym more myself. I think I'll go again tonight. My ass is spreading.

OH!! 99 problems is awesome to work out too. It makes me strut when I walk between machines or weight benches.
Try some Black Eyed Peas "Shut Up" when you gotta do cardio.
Thanx for the tunes!
