Workout Playlists! Music...

davidday Posts: 79 Joined: 2005/01/28	2005/06/06, 10:20 AM I just bought an MP3 player because the music at my gym sucks. No offense to Sarah McLachlan (in fact, I've seen her in concert), but "Adia" is not a good workout song. So, what tunes get you pumped up for a good workout? I'm taking recommendations. I like all kinds of music, including -- rock, pop, hip-hop, latin, electronica, house, oldies, axé, et al. I've found that I really like listening to dance and hip-hop during cardio because it keeps me moving. While doing weights, I like older rock like Van Halen and Guns n Roses. What about you? -------------- Dave ---------------------------------------- Eu procuro um amor que seja bom para mim...

They play motivational crap that 30 something soccer moms might like, but to me is as offensive as Marilyn Manson on the 700 club. Matchbox 20 and Justin Timberlake don't get me pumped. I like listening to old Metallica, some Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Megadeth, GNR, etc..

Josh1122 Posts: 29 Joined: 2005/04/12	2005/06/08, 01:24 PM I have to agree Rocky definatly takes the win especially the soundtrack, also like you guys said any rap or hip hop songs are good as long as they have a steady beat so you can pace yourself to the beat. -------------- Don\'t think you cant do it know you can do it.

My preference is The Who, The Doors, Clapton, Zepplin, lot's of other late 60's early 70's stuff and any good recent rock music. Lately I've gotten my 14yo daughter to download good tunes off the internet and now have some excellent mixes for my MP3-fortunetly she has good taste in music. When you work out enough, it's amazing how quickly you get tired of the same tunes though...may have to invest in a 6gig IPOD soon, mines only 256MB. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

The graveyard guy, Ken, has the stations programmed according to what he feels the people want at the time. So during the day hours, they have a lot of MTV stuff, at night they have a mix between old and new, and late night they have classic rock. I usually come in at around 10:30pm, and by the time I get changed and warm up a little bit, the classic rock is playing when I get to the weights.
