I go to the local fitness center a few times a week. I usually do 30 to 40 minutes on a NuStep T4R Recumbent Cross Trainer or a recumbent bike. Then I do some weights, bands, stretching and my own brand of Zumba dancing (you could sell seats for this).
While doing the bike, I listen to Ted Talks; language lessons; or something educational, religious or inspirational. However it’s when I do the other stuff that my playlist changes. And I listen to music. And ramp up the . . . . pace.
Lately, my playlist consists of some stuff that I can move to. If you get my drift. Including:
“Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E
“Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btPJPFnesV4
“Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0 (see posts of July 7, 2016, and March 7, 2019)
“Hotel California” by The Eagles – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BciS5krYL80
“Sultans of Swing” by Dire Straits – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0ffIJ7ZO4U
“Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTP2RUD_cL0
And a little Michael Jackson certainly adds to the tempo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_XLOBDo_Y
I listen to my music using corded earphones from my original Walkman. The earphones plug into my phone. The links above are offer some cool music videos – which you may enjoy.
I have over 2000 songs on Amazon Prime. A playlist for 3very occasion. John Prine rented our Ireland place a year before he died. I just discovered Joan Baez’s version of his “Hello In There.” Playing it over and over.
Something’s wrong with me.
