Something that'll get you motivated...I need inspiration, instead of the melodrama Nickelback crap they've been playing at my gym lately. Makes me want to sleep, not run...

So far, I've found Zoo Station works well. And Last Night (Strokes).

I try to listen to really rocking albums that have short songs at the gym. That way you dont get bored and lose the motivation.

Some things I find work well:

Almost any punk album (I listen to AFI and Bouncing Souls alot)
Weezer albums
Rage Against the Machine albums

Lots others, you just gotta think about it before you take it with ya to the gym, ask yourself,"Is this going to bore me or get me pumped up?"

I break out my Oakenfold Discs whenever I work out.. Voyage into Trance is my favorite. I'm tired of Linkin Park dominating all of the weight rooms.

[~LadyLemon~]

I like to listen to a lot of cd mixes that I make when I work out. Other people I like to listen to while working out:

*Garbage
*The Clash
*The Strokes
*U2 (Pop and AB)
*Beastie Boys
*Nirvana
*New Order

Etc...basically music that is either loud, dancy, or just makes me wanna bust some ass.

basically music that is either loud, dancy, or just makes me wanna bust some ass.

I agree.

 

[Bono's shades]

I took the U2 Best of 1990-2000 with me to the gym today. It works really well. You can't beat Mysterious Ways, Even Better Than the Real Thing, Numb, Gone, Until the End of the World and HMTMKMKM for workout songs

Thanks guys..these choices are all sooo much better than the gino-beat crap they have playing at the gym now. I swear, I feel like I'm at a really bad club. Everyone is sweaty, the guys are staring at you, the music is bad, I'm thirsty, worried about how my body is looking in comparison to everyone elses, tired, the guys are all trying to be macho...

Wow...maybe should just go to a club instead of the gym...it seems the same...
