The Go! Team (original lineup)
Black Cat
1-24-16
Every time a Go! Team song comes up on my sporto playlist, I am so happy because they make the perfect music for running/biking/whatever. They've got to be my most-listened-to band for whom I've never once thought about who the members are. I have zero idea if it's just one guy in his bedroom or a Polyphonic gathering of weirdos.
So when I saw the above posting, I thought "Whoa. The Go! Team apparently has a classic line-up. Who knew? (not me)"
I concur that they make the perfect music for running/working out. Definitely when I listen to them the most; any workout playlist I make basically has all of the first LP dropped into it by default. I was aware they were a band and not "a dude in his bedroom" but couldn't name the members and only featured the classic lineup bit since the article I saw highlighted it.
The Go! Team, got it.
what else do y'all listen to when gettin' healthy? personally i listen to electronic music (psychedelic trance, in case anyone cares) but the missus has been asking me to refill her ipod and frankly, i'm at a loss. preferences: music with lyrics; upbeat r'n'r, indie or pop; nothing aggro or dissonant. thoughts?
-
Is running or biking with earphones on really a bright idea? I prefer being aware of my surroundings. ;)
-
I find pop-punk stuff or some emo sufficiently upbeat and bouncy enough to keep my pace up. MxPx, Promise Ring, Texas Is the Reason, older New Found Glory. PsyTrance I couldn't really do personally but more big beat stuff like Chemical Brothers or Fatboy Slim make it onto those type of mixes. The more upbeat Belle and Sebastian songs work really well. Also throwaway pop stuff: Ke$ha, Hilary Duff, Avril, etc.

I guess it depends where you're running or biking. I never wear headphones biking.
-
I agree with the Go! Team suggestion. Junior Kickstart is on my <1 hr run playlist.
Beyond that, I like to mix it up. Some fast stuff, some medium, some slow. Put it on shuffle and let the music dictate my tempo. I had a "run" playlist a while ago:
Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills
Velvet Underground - Run Run Run
No Fun At All - Catch Me Running Around
The D4 - Running on Empty
Etc....
-
For a couple of years now, I've been slowly dividing my iTunes into "OK for gym" and "sucks for gym" playlists. Then I fill my nano with the OK stuff and let it shuffle.
-
I find it odd, but I listen to talk radio, stern, lance bass, Sandra bernharts show on the new Sirius radio andy channel, when I work out. it makes the time fly by, and I,m entertained at the same time.
-
The only time I listen to music while biking is when I'm doing laps at Hains Point. And since I do laps at Hains every weekend, it's quite a lot. I can't run without music; otherwise, all that fills my ears are the sounds of my knees and back and ankles and dong.
My long-standing sporto playlist is ~300 songs, all upbeat and fast and groovy and heavy. Lots of Slayer, Ministry, Hives, Go Team, Melt-Banana, Girls Aloud, Comets on Fire, etc.
But since the beginning of the year, much of what I listen to is KPop, J-Pop, C-Pop, etc. I have a killer 60 song mix that I just can't get enough of, comprised of these and other girl-pop bands.

The music is so catchy and poppy and danceable. Plus my kids love it too! Me and my sons love to crank it up and dance around the house, which usually prompts my wife to disappear into the bathroom with the phone to cry to her sister for some reason.

you folks should step out of the iPod world and create some Spotify playlists so we can share with each other!

Why do you support ripping off artists, yada?

Eight months ago, I hadn't heard of any of these bands except Capsule and Perfume, which were my gateway drugs into them. But after several nights of drugs'n'alcohol internet rathole exploration, I soon discovered this whole world of wonderful technopop.
I edited the list in terms of my favorites. If you're interested in hearing some samples of this music, look up these videos on Youtube (or use my handy-dandy links below). If you find your buttocks starting to shake and your hips starting to thrust, this music may be for you (until you remember these shrieking harpies are all teenagers).

I walk/run/hike 30-40 miles a week depending on weather.

so what's on the OK list?!?
I audition a set of 50 tracks that are not on either list. I give each track a few-seconds listen and quickly decide thumbs up/down. No set standards other than under 10 minutes and generally upbeat. The OK list is several thousand tracks. The sucks list is longer. Still have ~11K tracks to go. X seems to be the house band.

Are you under the impression the difference between total energy burned between walking a mile and running a mile is significant? Work = force * distance, bro.

you're forgetting intensity, bro. running a mile definitely burns more calories than walking it. tell me you can figure that part out.

How about burying a bone in your lover's backyard? That's gotta burn up some calories like sexual sunlight. Speaking of which, whatever happened to NKOTB?

Well, your very first article falls into the biggest fallacy in this discussion which is false equivalencies. Yes, running for 20 minutes burns more calories than walking for 20 minutes. Obviously. That is also not what I said: I'm talking about the same distance, not the same amount of time. Running for 20 minutes covers a further distance than walking for 20 minutes.
You also are missing the word "significant" in my statement. I acknowledge running 1 mile at 6mph, for example, burns slightly more calories than walking 1 mile at 3.5mph. By my fitness wrist thing, personally it puts a difference of about 15 calories between the two activities, for me. Not a huge difference.
We also get into the discussion of how many of those calories in each activity are burned in each AS A RESULT OF THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY and how many are burned as a result of simply being alive, awake, breathing, etc for the period of time in question. We also border on discussions of how each person's fitness level is different (a jaded level runner's body doing a 4 mile run 6mph is going to respond very differently than someone who never runs and does the same thing and is probably huffing for air the entire way which actually in a perverse way require more calories to operate the lungs in that situation) and calorie counts are going to be estimates at best outside of a lab.
So, yes, I stand by the idea that the calorie reduction between running and walking is not so significant that walking does not constitute exercise as a result.

My theory is if an activity makes you sweat or pant, it's exercise. If it doesn't, it's just a nice pleasant thing to do.

Sitting outside in 110 degree weather is exercise?
I just don't see how walking 5-6 miles (and for the average male burning like 500-650 calories) doesn't constitute "exercise" but running 2 miles is. Something can be both exercise and also pleasant. (It, admittedly, isn't strenuous exercise.)

Sitting in a sauna and having the flu also makes you sweat, but that's not exercise either. However, to qualify as exercise, you must sweat or pant. And unless you're power-walking, I don't see walking 5-6 miles as being exercise per se. Again, I'm not shitting on it and I do think it's healthy for you, but you're not burning much calorie-wise and your heart isn't getting much of a workout.
Also, I strongly question whether walking 5 or 6 miles would burn more than 300 calories but admittedly, I'm pulling that out of my rockhard ass.

Apparently he's not that active.

I guess not... my company currently has some lame competition going on and sure enough, people like Julian are logging walks to the metro stop, FISHING, etc. as their exercise for the day.

If I write an autobiography, I'm going to call it "Active Vegetarian, Lapsed Catholic". I will credit you on the acknowledgments page.

My TV came with Pandora so I have 3 stations for when I work out, one is QOTSA [duh, how original] another is Lynyrd Skynyrd and the last one is Brodinski. Sometimes I want that crunchy rock, other times I want some oldies, other times I want some dark dance music. I've tried listening to rap when I work out but I just can't get into it and it gets kind of distracting listening to the lyrics lol.
