Maybe you strictly listen to one specific genre, or you have a great blend of a bunch of different styles. Whatever the case, everyone\u2019s workout playlist is unique and special in its own way.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>However, this will, in fact, be a roast of all the types of music you could possibly listen to while working out.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<h3><b>Rap<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a pretty common genre of music to listen to while working out if you\u2019re a college student. I have a strong feeling that your typical gym attire is a pair of high-top Converse and a self-designed, sleeves cut-off t-shirt. And, you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">love<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> leg day.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Heavy Metal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uh oh, is someone feeling a little emotional? There\u2019s no doubt that you have your volume turned all the way up, and you\u2019re drowning out some other thoughts that have nothing to do with the gym. That\u2019s okay, we all workout for different reasons.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Folk\/Indie<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, I have only ever been told by one person that they listen to folk music when they are working out. I guess that\u2019s\u2026 okay? I\u2019m not judging, just curious how you can get excited with this genre. Maybe I\u2019m just the type of person that needs to be fully amped up by my music to have the motivation to workout, but folk just seems very peaceful to me. You have to be a very calm and chill person if this is mainly what you listen to at the gym.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pop Punk<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019re very individualistic and unique, and I am certain that you listened to My Chemical Romance or Blink-182 in high school. Don\u2019t worry about it, I did too. No one remembers your Tumblr phase, I promise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>EDM\/House<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You definitely have set off the lunk alarm a handful of times at a Planet Fitness if you listen to EDM when you workout. How was that dry scoop of pre-workout in the parking lot earlier? In all seriousness, you probably bench as much as the Rock, and I am jealous of your work ethic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Surf Rock<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You own at least one pair of Vans. Maybe you\u2019re even wearing them right now. I bet you have one hundred, perfectly curated playlists that you have spent days creating, and have listened to Mac Demarco within the last week. Or, some super underground band that you are certain I have never heard of.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Country<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you listen to country music when working out, you definitely workout for the pure fun of it. You\u2019re not here for a long time, but a good one. You seem cool, I hope you have a great week. Grind on, my friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pop<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You either actually enjoy the upbeat and happy style of pop music, or you just don\u2019t know what else to listen to. You\u2019re also certainly in the cardio section, rocking out on the elliptical machines.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rock<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4629 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1178\/Led-Zeppelin-1969-1-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Led Zeppelin\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\">You definitely were raised listening to Led Zeppelin while doing yard work with a parent. I think it\u2019s very wholesome of you to still regularly listen to the classics now. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good vibes only with you.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>No Music<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If I see someone working out without headphones in, confused and scared are understatements of how I feel. Are you just comfortable with whatever random radio station is playing at the gym? Or do you enjoy deafening silence while you sweat it out? I am, in fact, intimated by this type of person. Good luck out there.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Apple Music Users<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4620\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1178\/Apple_Music_Icon_RGB_lg_073120-150x150.png\" alt=\"Logo for Apple Music\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1178\/Apple_Music_Icon_RGB_lg_073120-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1178\/Apple_Music_Icon_RGB_lg_073120.png 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>I bet you feel a little left out when everyone gets their Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year. It\u2019s okay, you can admit it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All jokes aside, everyone should listen to what they like, and what makes them feel motivated to work out. In all honesty, I\u2019ll listen to pretty much any music under the sun at the gym, it really just depends on the day. Who am I to judge? I really can\u2019t hear what you\u2019re listening to anyways, so go nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just a reminder that if you are planning to use any of URI\u2019s facilities to sign up ahead of time on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imleagues.com\/spa\/reservation\/paZJWOxP7qaW67zMji4mSw==\/home\">IMLeagues.com\/uri<\/a>, using your single student login information!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3671 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1178\/Emma-headshot-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot of Emma\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\">Hi!
