in Fitness and Exercise
Hi All

I've been hitting the gym a lot lately and trying to push myself further. One thing I have found that really helps me is the right kind of music. Hearing the right track at a key moment can really boost me and make sure I keep going.

Thing is- I get bored quickly and need to change up my playlist often. Has anyone got any recommendations for tracks that get you to kick it up a notch?

At the moment, my favourites are Tinie Tempah & Labrinth 'Earthquake' and anything by Nero.

I would really appreciate hearing your favourites.

    Hi,

    I like to have drum and bass, house, old garage and Swedish House Mafia's album 'Until One' is good, Ministry of Sound have 'Runnin 'Trax' cd's which are quite good.

    I'm not an especially big fan of techno but my bf is a DJ and has gotten me into it somewhat .... but I find that the fast pace in the techno songs definitely push me while working out or even just walking/running!

    I subscribe to techno podcasts. I like electronic music for working out. Driving beat, lots of energy, and subscribing to free podcasts means that I don't have to pay anything for it and it's new all the time!
