Hi All

Anyone know how to get a sports armband suitable for a 20Gb Zen Touch?

I'm using a generic one with no holes for the buttons etc... so it's quite easy to accidently hit the random play button, I like Bach, but not during a cardio session

Cheers

<EDIT> Just looked at reviews and they look fairly crappy. So please ignore my recommendation. Soooooorry!

Speaking of, what music do you prefer for a cardio session? I am having trouble compiling a good list...

Thanks Vik, saw this as well, it's for the wrong zen player, I have the 20Gb Touch. About the size of a brick Which probably explains why no one bothered the make an armband for it.

I like music which will keep up a good fast rhythm on the cross trainer some examples:

Fragma - You are alive
Lucid - I can't help myself
Nechajannaja Vstrecha (dance version) - Elena Sheremet
Perfect Gentleman - Wycliff Jean
Chicane - Saltwater
Silence - Delerium Ft. Sarah Mclaughlan
Rise up - Yves Le Rock
Freestyler - Boomfunk MCs
She's Like thunder - Doro Pesch
Some tracks from the Rocky Soundtracks (Cheesey I know)
Dance remixes from Ani Lorak, Mikka Newton, Yulia Savacheva and Julija Mihalchik (from my Wife's collection)

Maybe some Nickelback, B2 or Christina Sturmer to cool down with.

What do you listen to for a workout?

Any off-the-shelf 90's club hits compilation does it for me as far as exercise music goes

Can you imagine better exercise music than "Rhythm Is a Dancer" and "Twilight Zone" by 2Unlimited

Well, except for "Sandstorm" by DJ Darude - can't believe I ever thought that track extremely cool - it is now the ultimate treatmill music

and Rocky

Exercise?
What's that?

On my daily 10 km route, I NEVER listen to ballads - should one mysteriously enough have found its way into my 4 GB Creative Stone Plus (which is the one I use when I run because it is so small and light), such a slow song immediately gets 'terminated'

As stated by others it has to be something a lot closer to the rhythm of your heart in the given situation


Of ALL the songs I've EVER run to the below three are closest to my maximum heartbeat, when I run the fastest and therefore brilliant to finish a race with:

New Order-World (The Price Of Love)(Paul Oakenfold Remix)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood-Relax (New York Mix)

Moses-We Just (Ben Liebrand Remix)
