Workout playlists

I don't know about anyone else, but I really can't do exercise without music or at least something to listen to. I think it's because some music gets me pumped up and I think about the music rather than how out of breath/burning etc I am, without it actually taking away from the exercise itself. Basically, it just helps me. I need some new music, maybe you could all post your favourite workout song at the moment, we could give each other some ideas

Right now mine has to be The Greatest by Sia, or most things by her really. In my head I'm singing along really loud but no one knows

I love Sia's songs for workouts. My favourites are Unstoppable, the greatest, move your body, cheap thrills and never give up. I also listened to Some of Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and Britney Spears songs.

Anything with hard driving bass. Eminem, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Lacuna Coil, The Pretty Reckless, etc.

For running, I use a 170-180 bpm playlist on Spotify. They have a quite a few playlists that people created with a set bpm (to match preferred running cadences).

Tool. You're welcome!

I like to download any of the free BBC Radio One Essential Mixes from the Soundcloud. They two straight hours of various types of techno by whichever dj they are featuring, with no commercials. I think not having songs starting and ending keeps me focused and then I am also not tempted to sing along. Some of my favorites are by R3hab, Drumsound and Baseline Smith, and Metrik.

That's awesome, I get so bored of my playlists so this will keep me busy

I've been using Rock2Run, but may look at Spotify as R2R plays the same songs for any channel I've picked (so I get the same songs in the same order everyday unless I skip through the first ones). I'd like more random stuff.

My workout music is really strange and eclectic. Stuff like >200 bpm techno, stuff sung offkey on purpose, and hymns.
Also there's some Sia thrown in there because her music is great.
