Yeah, you should get one. It's always better listening to what you want rather than what the gym plays. Maybe you could ask your beautiful fiance to get you an Ipod Touch for Christmas.

thats a question you can only answer for yourself.  you want an mp3 player so you can listen to what you want, then yeah. otherwise, no.

No, Bluto, don't get one. Then you might have to leave the house and be away from getbig for an hour.

If your going to get one, don't get anything bigger than the ipod shuffle. Its big enough to hold a few hours worth of music, and it clips on, meaning that it is more practical for gym use. Plus its cheap if you don't like it.

Music is good for focus and motivation in the gym, and I recall reading a study regarding the correlation between strength and listening to music.

you can get sandisk (200+ songs) from circuitcity/bestbuy for $40.  no need for a $200+ ipod.



this one chick was using an iphone and cracked the screen.  $199 down the drain.  keep it cheap for workouts because that's the only time you'll use the thing.

Get the little Ipod shuffle thing, holds enough songs and is pretty cheap so if you smash it you won't be out too much $$$$$

I have a Shuffle which serves it's purpose I guess. The darn cord seems to always get in the way or the ear buds fall out  :-[  Most of the time it's a pain in the butt.  :-\

I bet your brutal ham glute assault at the gym would be even more intense with your Barry Manilow classics cd,  POS.

yeah get the ipod nano not the newest one try to get the one from last gen
its very strong and durable , this is important because you have to remember that the thing is in you pocket so when you are using the machines that require you to sit or something it wont let it self get crushed :)

Ipod's are for fags.  Just go get a $30 mp3 player and you'll be alright.

Cheaper and healthier way (for your hearing) is to visualise your goals before and during your workout. Visualise them to a point where you block out any distractions, like crappy music, and that becomes your motivation to train.

I recommend you quit being a bitch and make a decision for yourself for once instead of spamming the G&O constantly.

for cardio yes, but for weightlifting no, you need to be 100% concentrated on weights.

Nothing can hold back an "instructor" on a mission.
