eshine Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I lift weights four times a week (us geezers have to try and stay in shape somehow lol) and I fully admit that I always listen to dance music when I work out. I know, I know - but I like it and it gets me going. But today I said what the hell and threw this on and it made for a GREAT workout CD. The whole thing starts with a bang and really keeps the momentum going right up to halo effect - which is a good time for a quick breather - then its off to the races again and by the time I got to Headlong Flight I was pretty much at full throttle. My workouts usually last about an hour so I was literally cooling down to The Garden, which was simply perfect. Not sure if this merits it's own thread, lol, but I thought it was neat so what the hell. Anyone here into physical fitness should give it a shot. - and cmon, the thread title is cute.

GeddyRulz Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've listened at the gym, too. Plenty! But I choose only the faster songs. "The Garden" is awesome and everything, but not to workout to. Better to listen to Anarchist, Wreckers, Headlong Flight, Wish Them Well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't yet worked out, per se, to CA, but I've found I really enjoy listening to the whole album when I do garden stuff. It does have a good pace and momentum, and 'The Garden' is a good 'cool down' (or for me, 'put garden tools away and have a lemonade') song. But, honestly, I simply like having Rush on, and I when I have worked out to music (lost this ability when my computer crashed ) and Rush has randomly popped up, it's made my workout that much better.

Nope I certainly don't do it in any obsessive way, but I sure love it. It's my hour of sanctuary - and nothing beats those endorphins (well, except for beer lol) I can easily say that at 42 Im in better shape then I was at 22, which means I sure wasn't working out to Roll the Bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what u mean, but ts really more like lounge-y electronic music, that keeps things up and moving, nothing like that 1000 bpm music that will fry you out!

BrightAntennae Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I like to mix up my workouts with different Rush albums. Did my cardio last night listening to TFE. Not my favorite but...how good is Time and Motion? That song continues to blow me away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm listening to CA on my bicycle trips. The album is even stronger when you ride through a forest or along a river. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I presently workout at the gym 3 or more times per week, where I listen to my iPod, including CA. I'm starting "INSANITY" soon, though. I'll be watching/listening to the DVDs, at home. No iPod music; I'll only be hearing Shaun T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
