It's boring enough just doing the exercise that I have to have music on while I do it. I have a stair stepper and listening to music while I'm on it makes it seem so much easier. I put a disco station on to help me get some rhythm going and it makes me feel more like I'm dancing than exercising!
Do you exercise to music? What is your favorite type to listen to?

I do listen to music when I am on my treadmill or I will watch a little television. But I also have a dance workout dvd that I totally love. It has five different workouts for 10 minutes each and boy does that get me sweating and feeling GREAT!

rumuxagirl, could you share the name of that dvd? I'm always looking for more interesting ways to get some exercise and dance would be something of interest :) Thanks in advance!

Most of the time I do. If I'm at home exercising then either the tv is on or I'm listening to a CD. If I'm out walking then I listen to my ipod.
I like all sorts of music, especially fast pace music when I'm out and about walking - helps me to step it up a bit and get moving.

Yes, listening to music with a steady dance beat gives me that "get up and go" amibition and allows me to keep up the momentum throughout my workout. I have the best results using hip-hop or techno music during my work-outs. If I'm on the treadmill, I can listen to just about anything.

Yeah i listen to music when i exercise or it could get real boring...My ear phones are always plugged into my ears connected to my cellphone with my kind of music...or sometimes the gym owner puts on some great hip shaking numbers...But in my cellphone i always have lot of trance music with a lot of beats ..gives me a rhythm..
