DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately since I saw a girl swimming with a pair of earphones! Yes, I kid you not, waterproof earphones. Now honestly what music is that compelling that you need to listen to it during a half hour swim session in your local gym?? But then who am I to talk I nearly lost it today when I discovered the MP3 was dead and I’d have to listen to the gym’s radio station while I was lifting weights? Anyway what I’m getting at is, what are your favourite workout sounds? The songs that, when you hear them, you instantly start pedaling faster, running harder, rowing stronger? I have my favourites to start the list but they’re kind of embarrassing cos they’re all at least 10 or more years old. But these are a couple I will admit to loving when I’m in the gym and need fast, loud, angry music!!! (Anger makes you lift weights better, I saw it on Brainiac!)

1. The Cure - Why Can’t I Be You.
2. The Jam - Down in the Tube Station at Midnight.
3. The Pixies - Debaser.

And I know it’s not technically “outdoor adventure” but it’s sporty! I was speaking to a cyclist last night who listens to podcasts while cycling outdoors because it means he can still hear the traffic.

Go on, tell us what you listen to while exercising, no matter how embarrassing!! Unless it’s Rick Astley or something, in that case keep it to yourself……
