Make The Switch from Music To Podcasts For The Gym And You Will Thank Me Later

I'm in the process of making the shift to listening to podcasts from listening to music, and it's been the best thing for educating myself.

Make The Switch from Music To Podcasts For The Gym And You Will Thank Me Later
@spartanuppod

I have been in the process of shifting to listening to podcasts while working out instead of listening to music. Don't get me wrong, music is my jam, but podcasts have more value for my mind.

The right kind of podcast can provide motivation, inspiration, education, general information, information for niche audiences, or even a way to escape. A lot of podcasts are free on iTunes or by just going to the podcast website and listening straight from there. I do both.

Generally, I will download podcasts from iTunes, and I'll listen to them when I don't have wifi. When I do have wifi, I'll listen straight from their website. I've found my personal favorites, but I encourage you to find your own favorites. Until then, give my favorites a listen!

MFCEO Project Podcast with Andy Frisella

Yes, you probably guessed it. It stands for Mother F****** CEO. To be really honest, I don't like the f-word. And it's said. A lot. Regardless, Frisella is amazing at giving strategies to help you succeed in life, helping you realize that being yourself is the best option and that living up to your potential is absolutely only up to yourself.

The TurnAround Podcast with Jesse Thorn

I actually learned about this one through one of my journalism professors. This one is more for niche audiences - journalists, public relations specialists, advertisers, etc. I am majoring in PR, and I love it! I love educating myself on all things PR, and that definitely includes journalism (and writing) aspects. Jesse hosts some of the best in the business, including Katie Couric, Larry King, and Dick Cavett.

Spartan Up with Joe Desena

This one is more of a lifestyle podcast. Joe and his team interviews people and captures the definition of success from them. It has more of a laid-back vibe and sounds more conversational. There are so many incredible featured people on this podcast, but you'll have to find out for yourself who they are.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
