Someone at the gym told me to listen to classical music while working out. Is he right /fit/?
Listen to whatever music you like, what the fuck does it matter? Are you being graded on your fucking gym sensory inputs? Who the fuck cares?
No. You should listen to 80s italo-disco instead.
>>77485211I do find lighter and higher-context music often does it for me
Classic music is too chill. Music effects on your heart rate and your speed. Metal or even a nightcore will to a much better job pushing you through the workout.Otherwise you can listen to whatever you want.

>>77485286Comparing to metal, yea, all that is very chill
>>77485411Beg to differ but ok
>>77485211Personally I like Jazz
>>77485286I like this, post moreHere's one I like (more jazzy than classical but it's what came to mind) https://youtu.be/FJL5V6Rz1R0?si=e-owowRRmoBsHlag
listen to whatever the gym is playing through the speakers
>>77485211classical music not to be casually consumed. you are supposed to be doing nothing other than listening. if you must listen to music at the gym, you should be listening to ukg or jungle like a normal adult. https://youtu.be/sa75gUOc55Q?si=eF9bKQtbJEczbS6lhttps://youtu.be/Zy_JR9_Y8dE?si=QTTyXN6LA3iKAT8k

>>77485435Unless it's something like Satie, who explicitly composed his music to be background music.
I could never get into finding classical music enjoyable, it has no percussion, right?Try as I might, I even attended an hour-or-more-long performance and without the rhythm of drums it just does absolutely nothing for me, like my brain doesn't register it as music, most of it just feels like funny sounds.Exception is piano music and grand-sounding stuff like number 2 in >>77485286,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNVomngq-Qchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYeDsa4Tw0cI still keep wondering if I'm listening to it wrong or something? Anyone had this experience then came to enjoy classic music as music later eventually?
>>77485211You aren't lifting heavy enough if you can still pay attention to music.Max PR happens in silence
>>77485949I started listening to classical at 25, about a decade ago. There is percussion but it is used sparingly, basically only in the orchestra. The rhythmic elements come from the particular instruments in the composition. One anon mentioned Stravinsky's Rite of Spring' which is a modern ballet with percussion. I would not recommend that piece to a beginner.Try these symphonic works:>Ralph Vaughan Williams - Oboe Concertohttps://youtu.be/3P0TaRKQPbE?si=Y7HuPZwTMZ_jWR2O>Rimsky Korsakov - Scheherazade Mov.

>>77485987Thank you anon.I just finished listening to the first one and I really liked it, felt kinda invigorating and light and nice.My observation so far would be that unlike most of the classical pieces I have heard so far (including performed live), which seemed to me as just a barrage of way too many instruments and sounds with little order (possibly because I'm not used to classical music), this one felt focused and sensibly, pleasant, using just a few instruments at once, it felt like those few then got to work together in a nice flow that lead throughout the entire "song"(XD)/composition.I suppose one of my issues might be that I'm used to listening to heavily-percussion-based high-bpm music (techno, happy hardcore, drum and bass, psytrance), so then jumping into something with pretty much a complete lack of drums just confuses my brain too much.I'll keep on listening and going through the list you sent. Once again thank you, I appreciate it and I like what I interpret to be your enthusiasm about this topic displayed in your reply.
>>77486022I'm glad you like it so far. I tend to listen to relatively modern music but the Romantic era has some absolutely beautiful music. My favorite music for many years was drum and bass. I still listen to it regularly. >Brahms (absolute genius) - Symphony 3https://youtu.be/u68ETRjNQME?si=bWH2fRcC8lVFFItu>Brahms - Clarinet Quintethttps://youtu.be/1Gw8JU53SWY?si=5HJLM4WpOMH7QuCh >Berlioz - Fantastic Symphony (very popular and highly influential piece, everyone should listen to this)https://youtu.be/AgXW-57UDMc?si=DCFAvMa7NPaxkYBW>Gounod - Faust (this is taken from a ballet, so the rhythms are more regular and normal) https://youtu.be/jkjWLWsDf08?si=rNL6VK4uIHa2lGU7>Strauss - This Spoke Zarathustra this is a very famous piece and I probably guarantee you've heard the opening.

>>77488600>of its timewhich time? the tradition is over 400 years old. just admit you can't actively listen to complex music. Peasants (You) were not listening to the same music as aristocrats.
>>77485211You shouldn't listen to anything. You're at the gym to exercise, it isn't a concert hall.
>>77488749Can I see your family tree as well as all you and your ancestors birth certificates>>77488600It was music for aristocrats and middle class bourgoise , not peasants

>>77488870>It was music for aristocrats and middle class bourgoise , not peasantsDoesn't matter, even if it were the "pop music of its day" it was nonetheless the main event, or a large part of it (dances and the like). People weren't scrolling on their phones or screwing around on the internet with a fucking orchestra just playing in the background for no reason.

>>77485211I wouldn't personally listen to classical unless I was just doing a chill maintenance session. I find it too relaxing and mentally engaging. It's great after a tough gym session though; Scheherazade movement 4 is great for driving home from the gym since it's almost the perfect length for my drive.I like hard, loud and fast music.Some tracks I find fit lifting:https://youtu.be/TnmOq5NlMzQhttps://youtu.be/-jMj8O0k6xghttps://youtu.be/6JapDyUwAu8https://youtu.be/G4NSaF2_YX0https://youtu.be/iWVTaCvVHVMhttps://youtu.be/XIC4ZJJs_EoFor running (I usually do HIIT on treadmill):https://youtu.be/UkAz5YFw_x8https://youtu.be/DIZ5FcV64EEhttps://youtu.be/PJLt1sgWgW8https://youtu.be/7cxgao2rYZwhttps://youtu.be/5vJ_2Nrn_hkNon-HIIT cardio:https://youtu.be/Yxthhkub89cIt may be corny but I also like songs where the vocals sound like they're cheering me on:https://youtu.be/XWDzgZpQ8LYhttps://youtu.be/VDtlIQ_hhi8Theoretical self improvement song (FORBIDDEN SELF LOATHING TECHNIQUE?)https://youtu.be/oqIPDePRi9A>>77488527Holst is great.>>77485949It's definitely a different sort of music and listening. I like Tchaikovsky's stuff, Swan Lake is probably my overall favoritehttps://youtu.be/Rj5p2Tw-JXUbut the Nutcracker (https://youtu.be/C4wBG8BWbYg) is also really good, hearing all the famous tracks from that piece is really interesting.>>77485435Cringe-ass post, people can enjoy music however they want, though I will admit I would rather listen to classical fully than use it as background music.
>>77485987Good stuff anon.Will use at gym.
