exercising to QUEEEEEN

I just did my aerobic/toning treadmill workouts to Queen 2. I love all the songs but the only problem is the pace. Is there an album you can think of that starts out slow and gets faster? I kept trying to run along with the beat and it screwed things up lol... I ended up keeping time with handweights.

That was the first time in a while I had listened to Queen as well... it was a toss up between that and Stabbing Westward but Queen won.

I've been thinking about this as well.. I thought of suggesting that we come up with a good Queen workout CD (a compilation) with warm-up and cool-down songs as bookends.

So there you have it... who wants to start? LOL

Queen is not that great for exercise, I think. The music is too engaging for that. But the middle of The Miracle works pretty well. The guitars and everything get you going. I can't comment on the pacing, since I take everything off my CDs and put them into a little mp3 player for workouts. (Running does not work that well with CDs in my experience.)

Anyway, back to the Miracle. I Want It All, The Invisible Man, Breakthru, Rain Must Fall, and Scandal, are ones I like for workouts. There are more tracks that could work well off The Miracle, but I usually just take these (along with other non-Queen music).

Im my Gym they only have Greatest Hits 2 on the jukebox so i have that on sometimes :D

It's too difficult to concentrate on your exercises whilst listening to Queen. You just can't fight the urge to break into a bit of a strut, which could lead to broken toes when there are dumbbells about.

No, far better to sit down with your pint and listen to 'em as nature intended: belching at one end and farting at t'other.

If i were you, i would go for listening to "the game" while working out, i think that album would have enough songs with nice workout beats

If I worked out(Sigh)I would do it to The Miracle. :)

i made a "rock" album of Queen, i work out to it, not a soft song in that album, keeps you going

I was thinking Queen Rocks may be good for exercise... I'll try that one out tomorrow to see if it works better. Good idea, coming up with a compilation CD... the problem is sitting down and actually figuring it out. It's far too nice outside! :D

if you want i can post the songs in my cd

ME TOO! I usually will warm up with kind of magic, and do crnches to radio ga ga. the beat in it is separated just enough to do them.

LMAO @ flashman! he's right! you can't help but to bust out with the Freddie Strut...or the Deaky Bounce :D

Flashman, you're hilarious!! :-D

I always find myself doing the little Freddie leg shake while I'm flat-ironing my hair. Then I have to look in the mirror and stare and look evil yet energetic at the same time.

This is why it takes about an hour to make my hair straight... and why it results in many little burns on my fingers.

Try Freddie Mercury Album to do aerobics, it works great!

Why don't you burn yourself a Queen exercise album? Use the slow songs to begin with, and progress to heavier and faster ones. That way, not only do you get a Queen exercise CD, you can also filter out the crap.
