En el gimnasio es de cajón que te ponen música para “motivarte” y quitarte por lo menos a momentos un poco el lastre que es para algunos de nosotros el estar allí sometidos a una rutina (que en verdad se convierte en rutina si no le buscas el modo al asunto), haciendo un mentado esfuerzo físico que bien podríamos estarlo descansando o comiendo a gusto como el 95% del resto de la humanidad que en su historia sobre la faz de la tierra ha existido pero bueno, ¿quién nos manda a estar allí?El caso es que el gimnasio esta dos tres: tiene pantalla de plasma y obvio un sonido shingón en las diferentes áreas. Tampoco crean que es tan grande o picudo pero bueno, para lo que se paga esta bien.
La música antes la ponían desde un DVD, ahora ya vemos que tienen una laptop desde la que bajan tal música en directo a las salas. Como juguete nuevo: ayer escuche que pedían bajaran “Poker Face” de Lady Gaga (jelow) y ahí va el entrenador a bajarla y obvio ponerla. Haciamos las rutinas y nomas nos veiamos las caras porque, escuchamos desde Parchis, Sentidos Opuestos y Flans, hasta Talía y “New York New York” con Frank Sinatra. Cielos!
Aunque traía mis audífonos era inevitable escuchar la música que se ponía y confieso que con algunas de las rolas escuchadas pude remontarme a mis mocedades, algunas que de verdad no las recordaba. Quizás después de todo no ha estado tan mal el asunto del nuevo juguete y la rutina de gym ahora no fue tan rutina este día porque, aunque rolas viejitas y totalmente fuera de contexto (...pero totalmente, hee!), las mismas hicieron recordar algunos momentos interesantes que parecían ya olvidados.
Para los que les gusta el rolón “Eye of the Tiger” de Survivor, no se enojen: a veces es bueno variarle. No pasa nada es más, se las pongo también con todo y letra. Ahí ta´:
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger...
The eye of the tiger...
The eye of the tiger...
The eye of the tiger...
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger...
The eye of the tiger...
The eye of the tiger...
The eye of the tiger...
