I brought a CD to the gym today. Thanks to LM for mixing the CD!
-Can I change the music, I asked the guy at the front desk.
-Sure, he replied back, without lifting his eyes from the computer screen.
So instead of Pink, Hey there Delilah or whatever it is on the radio, I played, among others: Stop! In the Name of Love - Crescent and Frost, and Get Up Offa That Thing - James Brown.
James Brown certainly has a place at the gym almost regardless of the tempo of the workout or the time of the day, but it felt just slightly awkward to play “Stop In the Name of Love” to a room filled with weight-lifting people. However, the awkwardness was nothing compared to they joy I felt by the contrast it created. Watch the video and imagine it with grunts.
