Workout Music

Recommended Posts

I'm putting a playlist together on my new Ipod for the gym. I've been collecting music from all different people around the office, so I have a funny collection. So far, I've got A.F.I., AC/DC, Bad Religion, Black Eyed Peas.... and I'm moving through the alphabet.

What do YOU like to listen to when you work out? I need fast, upbeat, make you wanna run your ass off stuff. B|

Dance Hall by Modest Mouse is my current favorite workout song. I can set the elliptical to 186 rmp and that song keeps me at tempo. Its perfect for that last hill ;)

ooh here's some more:

Fever for the flava - hot action cop (hillarious song!)
Free - Powerman 5000
Come back around - feeder
alright alright - sahara hot nights
action - blink 182
cold hard bitch - Jet
drain the blood - the distillers
hey ya - outkast
i like the way you move - outkast
leave with your own mind - fine arts militia
disposable teens - marilyn manson (works for me anyway ;))
over my head - sum 41
talk to me, dance with me - hot hot heat
run to you - rage (the chorus always makes me run my fastest)
we used to be friends - the dandy warhols (good for cool down)
out of control - hoobastank

just a sampling of my 'gym mix'. good stuff ;):D

Heh, I've posted a thread about this too... And one dz.commer (I can't remember who, sorry) suggested to me a band called Cauterize. I like the song "Shooting Star"...

I'm sure they have lots of other good songs as well.

I've found that bringing back to life some oldies that I haven't heard a quite a few years is always something good to run to, even if it's not exactly fast or up tempo. Stuff that keeps my attention works better sometimes...:P

I also like some of Nickelback's stuff.... "Saturday Nights Alright" ...

Good luck to ya!! :)

If you like oldies... Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" was damned popular back in the 80's. Believe it or not, I used to play it in the tape deck at full blast in the car on my way to many of my races when I was a long distance runner, just to get fired up. :$

I ran primarily 5Ks and 10Ks, and finished both of my marathons.

I like AC/DC though, high energy, rock your ass off music... Anyone up for the scissor-walk ala Angus Young?? :D

Try some Save Ferris if you like upbeat punk rock. They do an awesome remake of 'Come on Eileen' I use to have a CD strictly for working out and it consisted of Blink 182, Save Ferris, AFI, Cruiserweight http://www.cruiserweight.com , etc , etc , etc. Really gets your pulse pumping.

good tempo. Not much on lyrics but its good for when I'm mindlessly cussing at myself for tourturing myself on another stupid exercise machine. :P

Thanks for the idea!

edit to add:

LOL!! Just found Aqua's Barbie girl - talk about torture! LOL - I'm gonna add it to my MP3 player :D
here's another good one:

Sonique: It feels so good (dance mix)

The Crystal Method's "Vegas" album especially,"Trip like I do". I also like the Ramones, Guns N Roses, and Green Day to name a few.
