Music to workout to...

[MissVelvetDress_75]

When I exercise I like to listen a wide variety of music.

One day it is nothing but top 40 pop songs.

The next day it is Radiohead, Idlewild, Ryan Adams.


They all provide a good background for my workouts.

So what are your favorite songs to sweat to?

 

[IWasBored]

ska

 

[youtwohearts]

I use to start all my workouts with Zooropa, good start off song.

Notice the "use" and it isn't because of the song.

 

[jkayet]

Definitely upbeat, some techno...a lot of chemical brothers, oakenfold (tranceport), paul van dyk...basement jaxx...run lola run soundtrack lately....well, as lately as I've managed lately....

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I see there are not many who like to sweat.

this is the internet, what did ya expect

well how about you, what do you like to listen to when you are working out?

 

[Chizip]

anything with an upbeat tempo or motivational lyrics

i used to listen to a lot of old school metallica while riding the bike, the guitar solos are great for getting your legs moving

i refuse to listen to u2 while i workout, i dont want to equate u2 with pain

 

[Zoomerang96]

i don't work out, sorry.

but when i go rollerblading at night when the whole town's asleep, i'll listen to absolutely anything. usually pretty moody.

Barry White oh wait I wasn't sure what type of work out you were talking about.


Actually I just made a work out playlist on my new iPod with a lot of Chemical Brothers, Beastie Boys, old school Pumpkins, NIN, White Stripes etc.

 

[bayernfc]

Actually any type of fast and up tempo music will do (for using the threadmill atleast).

 

[Aardvark747]

'Tallica Babbbbyyyyy!!!

 

[phanan]

Fast tempo tunes usually work for me - stuff from Fatboy Slim, Moby, Chemical Brothers, etc.

 

[beau2ifulday]

I find myself working out to Goldfrapp alot

 

[Numb1075]

check out Qkumba Zoo

really happy, really upbeat, really pretty

 

[~LadyLemon~]

I guess it depends on my mood. Lots of times I'll listen to my own mixes that are usually very upbeat and or very punky. But I've often chose garbage, the chemical brothers, madonna, le tigre or whatever else will help get my ass moving.

Most any techno/dance music works for me. But I have created my very own "U2 Workout" CD. It's a strategically ordered collection of remixes... starts out a little slow, works up into a really good tempo, thens slows back down at the end for that "cooling down" period. It runs 56 minutes & has stuff like Salome, Elevation, Even Better Than the Real Thing, Lady w/the Spinning Head, etc.

I'm rather proud of myself, as it was my first attempt at creating a custom CD.

 

[Sweet Tart]

im pretty much the same as most people here. i work out to the chemical brothers, basement jaxx, daft punk, some fatboy slim.

surprisingly i hate techno music. the above mentioned artists/bands are the only ones i like that i guess would be considered techno/dance music.

The remixes are great for working out!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I have several U2 remixes (the dance versions) on some of my workout cds. It is good stuff to workout to.

I also like to listen to George Michael and Janet Jacksonl.

 

[karls77]

I'm training to do a marathon in April so I'm doing a load of running at the moment. Live versions of The Fly and Vertigo work well for me. Mercy is a good one too, especially its base line.

I also throw in a healthy dose of techno (the Confusion-New Order remix from "Blade" is a good one) plus some more "rawkier" stuff like Metallica (For Whom the Bell Tolls always gets my arse in gear) or NIN/older Ministry (Just One Fix is a good one)

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I need to make a few workout playlists for when the weather breaks and I start walking outside again (with the iPod ).
