During a roller derby season, you have an entire team to rely on. If you have a bad practice or scrimmage or bout, a teammate is there to help you refocus - to be that voice in your ear that tells you to push harder. In the off-season, so many skaters are on their own in their training and are suddenly without that extra encouragement. While we at Derbylife can't spend the off-season running, lifting, and cross-training alongside of you, we can at least give you something to
fill your ears and urge you to go further: the Derbylife Off-Season Workout Playlist.
They say that half the battle of working out is just getting to the gym. If that’s the case, I have to say that the other half of the battle is having to endure the tidal wave of super lame music that the gym plays. Let’s face it; it’s totally de-motivating, especially while I’m hard at work building my jammer-ready body. If I have to listen to Black Eyed Peas or All-American Rejects one more time, I’m going to be forced to gouge my ears out.
