Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

When I 1st started in the gym I had the dvd and headsets going but did rid of it when I got really serious. Thing is for me and maybe it's just me because I see a Professional BodyBuilder just about daily in there with headsets on but for me I can't focus in on a good workout and listen too tunes at the same time, I get to lost into the music and pay more attention that that and not to my efferts, form and ect. I'n also A.D.H.D so like I said it may just be me.

Since the topic is up in the air once again I must say, Hip Hop is my favorite. Mainly mix tape type stuff. By that I mean Dj Green Lantern, Dj Kay Slay, etc. Mix Tapes are the best for working out to 'cause all the material is raw stuff that the record label wouldn't want to release themselves. A lot of beef'n and shit talkin. My all time fav artist to work out to though is by far DMX, he is cold and hard. Even the metal heads can appreciate his style. To top it off he even has a prayer at the end of every CD that helps me with my wind down. If any one hasn't heard him I suggest doing a routine to at least one of his Cd's, or just listen to one song. -------------- I am a rough carpenter, nobody can kick my a$$ (me)
