I joined a gym about 4 months ago. I've been taking the classes, including some that use free weights.

I've decided to cancel my gym membership, and just use the free one available where I work.

I'd like to continue to do the free weights, but I feel like I need the prompting of what to do next.

Does anyone know of a recording that you can listen to that would do that? Keep the counts, tell you which exercise. I'm thinking something sorta like the yoga or cardio tapes.

Suddenly, the cartoon "Sports Goofy" popped into my head, where he got the excercise set in the mail, and he set it all up and put a record on the record player with that erudite well spoken baritone voice told him what to do and he promptly got his ass kicked by his own weight set. [Razz]

Good times [Smile]


To answer your question, I've seen VHS videos with that kind of stuff on it, and there are shows on tv doing exactly what you're looking for, usually early in the morning on Discovery channel and stuff. Never seen an audio recording, but then again, I had never known of an audio recording of "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" recorded by Christopher Plummer until I heard it for the first time so... ya never know. (I think it was Christopher Plummer)

I've never heard of recordings for using free weights. Sounds cool.

I've always used a prescribed circuit, and just note my weight, reps and sets. I like the circuit in Donnelly's BodyRx and he's got good forms to use to keep a record of the workout you do.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I did just recently find on iTunes a CD that Arnold Schwarzeneggar made of him instructing a workout to 80s hits.

Basically, he got paid to count to 10 while journey played in the background.

I did, in fact, pee myself laughing.

Found a link to two guys working out with that exact track in the background.

I was elected to lead, not to read.

That video is actually pretty funny. That guy should definitely not be wearing under armor.

Agreed. But then, neither should I, but I do own it.

The trick is, don't be the guy who is wearing under armour and nothing else.

I've also never heard of using a recording for free weights.

:shrug: It would be pointless for me, but I can see why some people would find it useful. I've got a fairly good routine, and I don't need someone reminding me of what lifts to do next or to count how many reps I've done.

That would be mildly distracting, but probably better than, the rap music that's occasionally played in our fitness center.
