singing while we train
« on: November 11, 2010, 02:55:59 AM »
anyone ever try singing while they train?  I was training at my local park, with my headphones in and kinda just felt like doing it.  I found it self indulging, exhausting, and a great source of information. 

I learned some things about the pacing of my breathing that I hadn't noticed before...especially on moves that required me to lift my knees into my chest, or when I need quick successive explosive movement.  I encourage my fellow practitioners to give it a go.  The great thing is that we don't have to worry about looking weird singing while exercising, because we already stick out doing PK...how much could it hurt to sing while we do it?  I mean, I can't be the only one who has been training on my own and spontaneously broke out into dance while training cause the song that was playing on my ipod made me feel like dancing...why not take it a step further?  Why not indulge the flow we feel from the music that inspires us while training?  Feel like I'm rambling....

summary...try sing while training, it fun.

We do it all the time [well sorta] when conditioning in groups! Especially reverse uphill QM. The song of choice is I'll Make a Man Out of You from Mulan. We had it going with a ton of people at American Rendezvous back in May when Laurent Piemontesi was kicking our butts in a session. It must be hilarious for people who see or hear us... :)

Lol, we also sang the Happy Birthday song from Red Robin, remember?

I think singing while you train is totally beneficial! Especially when you're stuck in a butt-kicking conditioning session from a former Yamakasi member...anything that can take your mind off of your exhaustion and make the whole thing seem much more light-hearted will really really help you when you're in a situation like this.

I just sing quietly to myself if I'm listening to music. It's fun.

I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' while I train

Eye of the Tiger and Gotta Catch 'Em All as well. Yes, our Par-chorus had quite the variety lol.

indeed, singing your favorite tunes while conditioning releases some much needed endorphins, as well as keeping you distracted while your body is being torn apart. as for teaching you about your breathing, its indeed an intersing concept. it could be a valuable lesson for us all.

I love singing (or rapping) while I train! It helps me stay focused with what I'm doing and lets me practice my Korean (I listen to Korean rap  ;D).
