What's on your workout playlist?

dreamangel18105

Hey all, I'm trying to make up a new workout playlist. What's on yours that makes you push harder and faster? To give you an idea of mine, I just added the LMFAO song ("Party Rock," I think it's called?) and some Taio Cruz. Let me know what's on yours!

I just add a ton of music to mine and then hit random. If I don't like the song I skip.

I have a bunch from old disco to new stuff. My kids were listening to it the other day and said that I had a great mix of music. Not too shabby coming from a couple of teens.

I dl the soundtrack and find this dramatic song nice during a long run especially during its climaxes..Its the final fight scene from the matrix.

Gets good a 1:12, 2:03

I also find trance music to be awesome like the "State of Trance" live concerts that are available to dl from Armin Van Buuren, tours all over Europe.

For running, I just added to my shuffle:

She be killin 'em - by fabolous
When I roll up - by wiz khalifa -- a little slower, but i like the lyrics for a run "when I roll up. . . .I'll be there shortly. . etc."
and the one that goes, "throw your hands up-" I think it's a pitbull song- really great beat for cardio.

dreamangel18105

I LOVE Girl Talk! That was my default for a while! I still use it when we go on trips and I'm stuck running on a treadmill. Keep the posts coming! I've already got a great I-need-to-download-these list going!

datzun

Depends on my mood really.

Lately it's been a mix of Marilyn Manson. ;D

But classical, oldies, rock, etc...just about anything as long as I'm in the right mood.

dreamangel18105

In going through a lot of the songs I've had on workout playlists before, I notice a theme. I tend to pick songs that reference being (or make me feel) "sexy." Haha. I suppose that's as good of motivation as anything, right?!

I SHUFFLE Sorry it's soo long!

For cardio, if I want to just pore sweat, it's Offspring all the way. I swear I can smell smoke coming from the elliptical when I'm rocking out to them! And my heart rate shoots thru the roof! I will listen to some Nickleback for cardio, too.

Cool down is Kings of Leon, Joss Stone, Silversun Pickups. A little old skool Violent Femmes to a point.

piperjon

LOTS of Slipknot... Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Evanescence, Skillet, Stone Sour (not the soft stuff), Otep, 5FDP, Saliva, Crystal Method, Staind (not the soft stuff), Drowning Pool, Rob Zombie/White Zombie, Dropkick Murphys, and a few local bands like, Monoxide Project, Smoke Out Johnny. But let me tell you, when I'm wanting to be whiney, give up and go home, nothing says "get out there and gut the4 f**k through it" like some Slipknot. Cool down with Thelonnious Monk, Glenn Miller, Staind (the soft stuff) Dave Brubeck, Peter Gabriel, Simon and Garfunkel, Tori Amos, and (oddly) Alanis Morisette, Stone Sour (the soft stuff), NIrvana.

Kimby1

Damn! What's your HR when working out to this? 250? Whew! I'm impressed! I'd kill myself ...

paradog

Techno to Hard Rock. If it makes me wake up...all the better. Favorite bands for working out are Rage Against the Machine, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Tool....

piperjon

Lol, Kimby, it does get up there into the higher reaches, I'll admit.
It's also great for mowing the lawn. And everyone else's in the neighborhood. HOO-AAHH!!!! ;-)

So, I feel out of place because my choice of genre is very different. I decided to share anyway.

As you probably guessed, I listen to gospel music 90% of the time. When I was small child, I lost my mother in a tragic event and gospel music saved my life- it kept me from becoming an angry, miserable child. Today, I still cling to it especially when I need a lift. When I listen to these songs I go into a zone on my treadmill and it's a pleasant place. I feel like I want to keep running forever! Often times, my heart rate will go up to 170 or more and I have to remind myself to chill and get it back down to 150 or something. It's hard for me to go into cooldown mode too. Here is my top 12 followed by some secular music but also excellent for running in addition to some cooldown tunes:

The Lord is Blessing Me -Bishop Larry Trotter
God is Good -Bishop Paul Morton
Praise Break - Donald Lawrence
Sunday Morning Medley - Georgia Mass Choir
Tell It - Geeorgia Mass Choir
Oh How Precious- Kathy Taylor
My Time for God's Favor -Kurt Carr
There is None Like Him - Mississippi Mass Choir
We've Come a Long Way - Rev. Dwayne Mason
It's No Secret - Rev. Dwayne Mason
Thank Him - Rev. Dwayne Mason
Glory, Glory Hallelujah -Rev. Dwayne Mason

Not Gospel, but good anyway:

Funk the Drums - The Bongo Man
Watusi Warrior Drums - Van Kampen ***This one is intense***
Doing It to Death - Fred Weslely
Forever My Lady - Jodeci ***Cool Down***
What Kind of Man Would I Be -Mint Condition***Cool Down***

Gallifreyan History 101- Chameleon Circuit
Big Bang 2- Chameleon Circuit
What's Wrong?- Blue Skies
Comeback Kid- B. Reith
Here Comes My Baby- Sons of Admirals

I also definitely find inspiration in songs that talk attractive girls! A lot of these songs are popular Hip hop songs which defintley gets my feet moving and confidence up when I am out for a run! If you like LMFAO I think you will enjoy a lot of these!
