Re: Have an excellent day everyone! And AMusic Question.

[Guest guest]

I move my free day around alot, reason being: When I train legs,

they are so trashed, that sometimes I have to take the following day

off to recoup.........Typically I dont have a free day of food, I use

a free day to let my body recoup from being hammered.

Tunes: I make alot of mixes from downloaded music, but I listed to

everything.....i have to say my very, very FAVORITE to train to is

Eminem, his music pumps me.

Congrats on a good upper workout, you know you feel good right now!!

No - I have to say that I generally think of Saturday as my free day for

eating. Sunday is usually my free day for working out. I like to make a

big breakfast on Saturday with EVERYTHING...choc chip pancakes, bacon, eggs,

hashbrowns, biscuits and gravy (I married a Southerner and make my own

gravy). Oh Yum!!! Only today and tomorrow then I can indulge a little

(well, maybe a lot!)

My husband usually in charge of tunage while we work out. And honestly, if

I'm working out by myself I usually just listen to the radio. And if it's

too loud it's more a distraction to me than anything else. My husband

listens to Aerosmith, Def Leppard....yes all those rock bands from the 80's.

Have an excellent day everyone! And

I'm with Cera. I watch the little TVs on the cardio machines and

when I'm doing weights I listen to whatever's being played!

Sometimes it's good... sometimes not so much... but they usually

have it pretty rockin there!

By the way... I LOVE Buffy! I have the first 5 seasons on DVD

and just waiting for the last 2! I wish it came on at the time I

was at the gym! I'd definately get more cardio done!

I occasionally move my free day but not too often, mostly because I

have it scheduled for Saturdays and usually if we do something, that

is the day we do it on. Sometimes if we have a big event to go to

during the week I might do 2 free meals instead of 1 giant free day.

Great job on the workout! I hit snooze again so will be doing mine

while my bfl chili is in the crockpot!

Sounds totally corny, but I knew one of my biggest challenges would

be waking up in the morning to workout. I always set my alarm ahead

of time to get up, but always in the past I have hit snooze for an

hour...sometimes more. For some reason when I hear " Eye of the Tiger "

Oh memories! My friends and I used to listen to that and " rock out "

in high school!

Oops, I meant to add my list of songs I like to listen to while

doing cardio! I usually don't listen to music while lifting at the

gym, but when I'm in my basement I usually listen to something loud.

Here's my cardio CD:

2 Rob Zombie songs/White Zombie (Thunderkiss)

Rage against the Machine

Def Leppard

Pat Benatar (All Fired UP...great song!!)

Hoobastank

Afrika Bambataa

Puddle of Mudd

Papa Roach

Kid Rock

and for the grand finale....Sweet Home Alabama by good ol' Lynard

Skynyrd...

And no I don't have a mullet...!! ( I realize this list makes me

sound like a full on metal thrash lady!)

I've got to get into this ITunes. I'm intrigued!
