Workout music: we haven't had this thread in a while

I don't listen to music when I work out any more. I actually prefer to listen to the birds as I work out outdoors.

I did used to love working out to an album called Blues from the Big House. It was recorded in the notorious Angola jail in Louisiana back in the late 40s. Most of the tracks are recordings the call and response blues songs of the prisoners as they worked. Often the beat is the thump and thud of the prisoners hand tools. Generally a nice slow steady beat to time your reps to especially if you are doing high rep sets and don't want to set out too fast. I have put it on when I have been doing a lot of digging in the garden for the same reason.

My wife says its got to be cheesy pop for her when she is on her cross trainer.... each to their own ;)
