<p>Now that winter is on the way, I will be working out inside more on our rowing machine.</p>

<p>Please share with me your playlist that will provide a whiz-by 40-45 minutes of rowing machine toil.</p>

<p>I haven’t used a rowing machine in many years but I recall that I just used an FM radio when on the rowing machine (typically Concept Is and Concept IIs). When running or using a stepper, your movements are fairly fast so it’s just a matter of matching the beat of the song to where you want to be at what time. So you may start out with a slower song, build up to a faster song, keep the rate up for a while and then slow it down near the end.</p>

<p>The stroke on a rowing machine is fairly long compared to something like running so you’d either want slower music or music where you make a stroke on every two or four beats.</p>

<p>Thanks audiophile, I’ll have to check these out – I’ve been rowing to Tunnel of Love, so I’m with you on the Springsteen.</p>

<p>I think if you can work out to “Tunnel of Love”, you can pretty much work out to anything! :D</p>

<p>BTW, here’s a discussion we had a couple of years ago. I usually change at least some songs on my playlist every time I work out. I see there’s no overlap with my 2006 list: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/136363-good-songs-exercise-playlist.html?highlight=playlist[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/136363-good-songs-exercise-playlist.html?highlight=playlist&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Re “Tunnel of Love” – either I can work out to anything or I really need some help!</p>

<p>Thanks for the link – I thought I remembered an early thread on this topic…</p>
