What do you listen to while working out? Do you have different music for cardio and strength training?
I need some good suggestions!
I've been pretty steady listening to Yelawolf, tends to get me going with cardio. I like some other hip hop too, mostly older stuff.
I've tried searching pandora for workout playlists but they're mostly house music or techno and I can't stand that.
So tell me what you listen to!

    Mastodon
    Gojira

    A lot of UK Grime, including JME and Skepta.... then modern "pop ish" stuff. I like the newer Flo Rida song, G.D.F.R. Anything with a good beat, basically. Kind-of funny stuff, but I like a good, catchy, steady beat whether I am doing cardio or lifting.

    I also like Rob Dougan type stuff, which falls under "trip hop". :)

    A sampling for those yet unfamiliar with Grime:

    Very occasionally when running (usually long distances or multi day events)
    Red
    TfK
    Sleeping Giant
    Fireflight
    Falling Up

    But for your purposes. . I find that TobyMac and Royal Tailor are pretty catchy

    Some Slipknot / Stone Sour

    Disturbed
    Five Finger Death Punch
    Shinedown
    Three Days Grace
    Avenged Sevenfold
    Hollywood Undead
    Pop Evil

    That makes up the majority of my playlist. But then I also have quite a few other various songs/artists/genres.

    Don Omar's Danza Kuduro is one of my favorites.
    Rise Against
    Pitbull
    Volbeat
    The Script's Superheroes - always helps push me to my limit! Super motivating song.

    Tons more. It's a pretty wide variety. I use the same playlists for weights and cardio.
