Great Gym “Pump Up” & Cool Down Albums

Team Excelsior is fitness. King B and The Train firmly embrace the throwing around of iron as much as possible.  Maybe not as much as those d-bags from Jersey Shore, but we like to get it in.  It’s not all about the aesthetics, but the best residual benefit is the huge spike in energy.  Excelsior utilizes the energy in the quest for world domination.

When we hit the gym, the tunes have gotta be pumping through the earphones at all times.  My iPhone is filled with all kinds of music that fits the “pump up” or the “cool down” role.  (Sometimes I tweet the tracks with Twittelator as I’m at the gym)  Here are a few of the albums that get the blood pumping (or calm me down!):

Pump Up:

Pantera – Vulgar Display of Power

Sepultura – Chaos AD

The Suicide Machines – Definition By Destruction

Atreyu – The Curse

Cool Down:

Fujiya & Miyagi – Transparent Things

XX -XX

jj – n2

- Moe
