Most people love to listen to music when they workout. For me, I do as well, just so long as the music is playing on some speakers nearby and not on an ear piece on my head.

I’m sorry but I hate working out with ear pieces and gadgets hanging off me. What a disruption to me. There are some really costly MP3 players out there that are supposedly waterproof. But sweat proof? Not really. That sweat that pours off you when you workout ends up everywhere and on just about anything when you’re working out. The ear piece ends up with sweat down inside of the mini holes. Not to mention it also gets into the small crevices and cracks of the music player.

For me, working out means I’m free to concentrate on the workout itself. No ear plug wires running across my head, getting caught on pieces of fitness equipment. So what about you out there- what do you like? Is having the music any way you can get it worth it or not?

I will stick with a good ole fashioned boom box if I can!
