Are you saying you won't get big and strong if they play Pink Floyd?

ANgry music is good for the gym. Rap is good for the lyrics. Get you pumped up.

Once this round is over. Let us never speak of it again

I’m really looking forward to your votes to see what you consider to be good gym music, you’ve bigged it up so much that it had better be good

Mine is the song you actually listen to when going to the gym. At least if you want to get big, and get strong.

I’m already big and strong listening to techno and occasionally country.

So if I did yoga or Pilates at the gym what music would be appropriate?

 

[DemurePrincess]

That was mine and as stated before was the soundtrack for my recent chess win, so it was great for my (mental) workout.

I apologise for trying to put some of myself into my noms and will aim to nom generic stuff in future.

Nah! That’s cool when you explain it. Sometime songs need the explanations bc we definitely don’t all think alike bc to me… gym music is loud thumping music that should match the heart rate but as you just said your pick was more a mental song… however.. I took the theme as what you’d expect to be played in the gym scenario!


Hey! I’ve ****ed up the Theme up before lol

 

[DemurePrincess]

Whoever brought Electric Callboy into my life…. Thank you! I love that craziness lol

Oh yeah, you can absolutely judge against how you perceive the theme. But respect the nommers for giving their interpretation, and ask the host if you think someone is giving a nom which is just against the theme.

Did they make your muscle grow bigggggg or your mind

This reminds me of the time I won the Billy in Divine Comedy round with a song by the Divine Comedy, because no one knew it was by them so billied it. All they had to do was ask

The grandmaster diet: How to lose weight while barely moving

You wouldn't think that chess players, who sit for hours on end and extend their arms only from time to time, would struggle with weight loss. But they do. Inside the very real, very bizarre metabolic phenomenon gripping chess.

I don’t buy it but do think it’s funny

Yeah No! I am un-medicated ADHD… I’ve already lost concentration on our table and my eyes and mind have ventured elsewhere…. I can’t sit still for more than 5 minutes

And you won’t catch me in the gym either bc I am that un-co… I’ve flown off the back of the treadmill before.

No issue there at all. Im sure demure has the first song. Appropriate for pole dancing.

Then youve got dancing with its own style of music. I didnt see anyrhing that fit Yoga.

Some of the songs i cant see how they fit tbh.

[myblueroan]

Yeah. I'm pale and skinny but at least I don't have to listen to rap or techno.

I love techno! Could listen to all day! The old stuff I mean.

Gyms are the for disciplined anyway… I am not

I was in my early 20s and a bit pudgy when I decided to do something about it and go to the gym for the first time. I went with my housemate, who would go daily, to walk me through a good routine.

He did not take into account that I would be on a different level to me, basically gave an intensive workout. I threw out my back and was basically bed ridden, barely able to walk for the next week and a half. It was over five years until I went to a gym again.

Point is, let people tackle the gym at their own pace and comfort level - including the music intensity they want!

 

[DemurePrincess]

If anyone has taken offence to my shit.. please don’t! I often dribble… just tell me to close my mouth! Or wipe my chin

Yep.
Went to a keiser gym for awhile. Really good machines made work out fun.
Their policy is no music and no mirrors.
Of course you could play your own with headphones.
Loved it...but I ended up with some torn ligaments as well as the injury I went there ro rehab. They were very apologetic.

So swimming for me. Love it!
And deep water running. Fantastic!!
And yoga.

Stop laughing JH.

One of my favourite playlists to date, with the vast majority of noms appearing on personal playlists at one point or another which probably checks out with the disdain from others this round haha. Bangers everywhere!
