Opeth while working out?

[Belial]

I recently found that Opeth is the perfect workout music. I tend to move with the melodies, working fast and hard during the heavy parts, and going slower to cool down during the mellow parts. Anyone else do this?

Too lazy to work out regularly

I prefer something more straightforward like say Testament - Demonic, Morbid Angel or some such.

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Meshuggah - Chaosphere

ha ha. It gets the 'insanity and agression' glands going in your body.

Speaking of weights, i must do my lats and back sometimes today.
(split routine, (all) Biceps and Chest day 1, then Back/Shoulders/lats/Triceps on day 2)

I never really work out, but whenever I'm home
alone I'll play music on full volume and rock around.
Love dancing, to any kind of music.... )
Opeth is good for dancing! >)

 

[Saphira]

That sounds so cute, Blackspirit...
I'd love too see you dancing to Opeth... hehe!

Arch Enemy and Nevermore are great workout CDs.

I like something more straightforward but with driving rhythms and great guitar work for my workout music.

 

[Demonspell]

I like to work out to Nevermore and Symphony X.

I regretfully haven't worked out in several months. I was getting in the habit of going about 2 or 3 times a week. It's pretty sad because there is a pretty nice workout/aerobics room in my apartment complex. I am just too lazy and too consumed by my computer to go. I don't think I would listen to Opeth though. I would probably focus on the music too much and not pay attention to what I was doing. *pictures himself dropping weights on his foot*

I work out to stuff like At the Gates, Death, Vital Remains, Bucketheads more techno stuff..Amon AMarth was great when I tried that. Also Grand Declaration of War gets my adrenal glands a-pumpin'

I know what you mean. When lifting weights I listen to something more brutal and straightforward, like Children of Bodom, and In Flames.

Opeth works great when I'm on the bike. I usually close my eyes and move with the music. I find that I can push myself beyond what I'm used to during the heavy parts, and the melow parts serve as a cool-down period. I could almost swear Opeth made their music with aerobic excerize in mind.

 

[MetalManCPA]

I don't know why, but I can't work out to music. Only stupid TV. WTF?

 

[Misanthrope]

i do not work out im a fat bastard

 

[transfixed]

i dont work out either
i havent since the summer...i got lazy since school started up again.
i need to get back into the habit...

I havn't worked out for a while,but when I do I enjoy bands like:dark tranquility,suffocation(effigy of the forgotten),cancer,napalm death(utopia banished),demilich,atrocity(longing for death),disembowlment,pestilence,and of course OPETH.

 

[Evisceratrix]

i like to do the little bit of karate i know to opeth-like stretches, nunchauks and katas (i dont even know if i spelled that right!).

but as for really working out, i think skateboarding is the biggest workout i ever get and i dont listen to anything when i skate. i tried wearing headphones once and it got too damn complicated.

I don't work out either...I'm a skinny bastard who likes to listen to Opeth while on the internet drinking vodka and cranberry...

 

[Harlot of God]

Belial: Well...i think you are right...Opeth is great workout music and actually MAYH is the best cd to work out to in my opinion...

 

[Wolff]

Anathema's Crestfallen/Serenades does it for me. Never worked out with Opeth; I'd probably lose concentration.

 

[Malaclypse]

when i work out is when i play drums. so anything fast is good for "workout"
