Workout Music

ischjli Posts: 408 Joined: 2002/03/13	2002/05/21, 04:07 PM The gym I joined plays nothing but Top 50 music. It seems it is on a carousel, constantly playing the same 15 songs each day from 12 - 1 when I work out. I have an MP3 player which I combat this cardio crap with, but I need some suggestions to keep it interesting. Personally I like to work out to HIGH INTENSITY metal/rock (Zombie,Rage,Limp Bizkit,COC,etc..). What do you all find motivates you?

I liked few songs off their self titled cd but other than left behind I didn't really like much on Iowa....

"Paradise City" (by G&R) and "One" and "Don't Tread on Me" (by Metallica) are the best 3 workout songs ever! Just my 2 cents worth. Kid Rock's new CD is a good one also.

Ya know, it's gotta be hardcore energy. I just don't focus as well if the music is too slow. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

I enjoy old Tool and Metallica too, but I have been disappointed with most of their new stuff. In general, I haven't cared too much for any of the newer rock (Creed, Match Box, Lifehouse, Puddle of Mudd -cookie cutter music). I DO like Godsmack though. It seems the good stuff requires word of mouth or some serious detective work to unearth.
