workout music - what do you listen to?

Hi everyone,

I am bored with the contents of my ipod and need to stock up on some good workout music. What do you listen to that really energizes you? My favorite of late is Madonna's new CD but I've kind of worn it out. Also have some Brazilian music, Buddha Bar (not the chillout CD obviously).. but they are boring me to death now and I'm stuck for ideas. help!

I've heard 80's music is the way to go...

I listen to Thousand Foot Krutch - It's impossible not to get in the groove with them going. They even have a song called "Move". Makes my feet twitch and I usualy set my pace to their beat. You can check them out at http://www.thousandfootkrutch.com/main.php - they stream some music at their site.

I listen to the oldies. Made my own cd of the my favorites good dancing music for a hour.

There is a hip hop station I listen to that does a 12 noon workout. They really pump it up and give exercise/diet tips instead of commercials for 25 minutes. I tape that and listen to it when I workout. It is fabulous.

80s music is good for me if I have to listen to music, because the songs are generally lively and energetic and the tempos are mostly good for working out. And I graduated in 1984...

But mostly, I don't listen to music. I work out outside and prefer the sounds of birds, water, breeze, whatever.

I listen to cds by Elton John...especially Crocodile Rock!

Workout Music

With whatever I'm doing to exercise, I like to download the latest hits. Here is an example of some of the songs currently on my mp3 player:
Golddigger-Kanye West
Ridin' Dirty-Chamillionaire
Holla' Back Girl-Gwen Stefani
Whoop That Trick-three 6 Mafia (From Hustle & Flow Movie)
Plus others I can't think of off the top of my head.
Hope that gives you some ideas!

thanks everyone, that's great! I appreciate it. Didn't occur to me to listen to oldies, or 80's music.. I will dig out my Duran Duran CDs!!!!

What about electronic dance music?? (If that's even a genre.. hopefully you know what I mean?) Any compilations of 80's or 90's dance music that anyone can think of? (Even if it's cheesy, I don't care!! I just need a change.)

Cheers!

If you're a Billy Joel fan, "Running on Ice" will make anyone run!

I love Broadway, there are a bunch of songs on the Rent soundtrack that get me moving....Rent, Take Me Out, Another Day, La Vie Boheme...

The Jock Jams cds have some really upbeat and fun workout music. It's mostly stuff from the early to mid 90's. If you want something really fast, check out the mortal kombat soundtrack.

I love "Shake" with Pitbull and the Ying Yang twins.
It has a hot beat.
Sean Paul's "Temperature" is good too, especially to jog to.
I also love the Chemical Brothers and Prodigy- they're good for sprinting! lol

Techno is good too, the beat is really easy to keep your momentum going. I like cheesy techno: Alice Deejay, DJ Sammy. Whatever site you use to download songs just put in techno and it should pull up a lot of different things. It's fast and upbeat!
Enjoy!

Great work out music

I found great music on lime wire. search for cheerleading music, spinning, aerobic or just type in work out music. I love the Black eye peas!

Hip hop Noon program

i wish more radio stations did that - they have way more access to varitey of music than we would have personnal

I like trance dance music without words - just hard driving beats

.MC Hammer is the BEST for working out and old school rap

Thursday, June 15, 2006, 10:12 PM

this is such a personal thing- ie, someone here suggested temperature by sean paul for running, but for me, that beat is way too slow for a jog- I need something with a faster driving beat.

But, if you're thinking dance, especially 90's well then...

The Romantics are my favorite group... So, I'm a Romantics music junkie.

The majority of their music is up-tempo, so I plug into my collection and take of walking at at an aerobic pace! ;-)

I think that my favourite band for a workout is Radiohead. I don't know why, but it gives me power

When I'm doing my workouts I need to get more energy, so metal music is can help me with that. There is a lot of very powerful bands like Metallica, Slayer, maybe some nu-metal like Slipknot or Korn, and there is a lot of good old music too: Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. Hey if you have your own band and you need to get more attention to your release then you can click on this link to get spotify promotion. They will give you your followers in no time.
