Good work out songs?

caraaaa01 · March 2012

I tend to burn out on songs really quick because I am constantly listening to them!

What are a couple of your "go-to" songs when you need to get pumped up, and just need that extra "umph"?

http://walk.jog.fm/ is a good site to get music to workout to. It is mostly for walking/running since it shows you mph, but it also shows you beats per minute, so I assume you could use it for other workouts...

I don't listen to it while working out but I do love to clean my house to it!!!!
TAKE ME OUT TONIGHT!!!! MEOW!

I listen to Pandora on my phone. They have "workout" stations already made. Depending on my mood I listen to either the country workout mix or the rock/pop workout mix. My boyfriend prefers the rap workout mix (personally not my style lol). But I do have one particular song that gets me pumped up and that Luv Addict by Family Force 5

I was going to say the SAME thing!!!!

good2bthaking · March 2012

when I am on the eliptical, for some reason Chicago's 25 to 64 motivates me. and Billy Joel's We didn't start the fire!!! I probably just dated myself, but who cares!!!

mochaphobic · March 2012

I love Pandora and usually set it to 50's - 60's rock and roll. I didn't know they have workout stations though... will have to check it out. I just love the oldies though.

Karstenf · March 2012

Depends on the workout, I've made playlists on my ipod for specific ones, and each playlist easily has over 300 songs on it so I don't get burned out. For cardio, I listen to alternative rock (Neon Trees, Phoenix, OneRepublic, Saint Motel, and the like) mixed with what I call jam bands (Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler, Jack Johnson, Dispatch, G. Love & Special Sauce, and Jason Mraz). I'm a huge DMB fan, so I can put just them on and run for a good hour. For strength training, I've got a mix of Tool, Evans Blue, 10 Years, and Chevelle; alot of power songs to get you pumped. Lastly, I've got "angry white boy music"-Rage Against the Machine, Evanescence, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Sevendust, and Rise Against. Obviously I can't narrow it down to one song, but that's what works for me.

I use this CD to get me going. The play list is on the bottom.

kellyuncanny · March 2012

My favorite is this band from Sweden called Quit Your Dayjob (or Day Job?), album "Open Up, Coconut".
Short, silly songs with a good beat.

ie: Pissing On A Panda, Sperms Are Germs, Look! A Dollar

They make me laugh while I'm working out.

princeza9 · March 2012

Unsterblich by Oli P.
Won't Back Down by Fuel
Lose Yourself by Eminem
Just Dance by Lady Gaga feat Colby O'Donis
Stronger by Kanye West
Remember the Name by Fort Minor feat Styles of Beyond

LinzCurlyQ · March 2012

need this for future reference

rjlkat · March 2012

Some of my favorite 'get in the mood' workout songs/pieces are:

- "Take the Lead (Wanna Ride)" - Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, et al
- "the House Rules" - Kane (Christian Kane band)
- "Grounds for Divorce" - Elbow
- "These Days" - Rhymfest (fun rap)
- "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show" - Francine Reed
- "Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)" - A3
- "Have a Nice Day" - Bon Jovi
- "Supermassive Black Hole" - Muse
- "What If This Storm Ends" - Snow Patrol
- "Lakini's Juice" - Live
- "Kryptonite" - Three Doors Down

Some lend themselves more toward strength training motivation than cardio. I think that's more than you wanted, but maybe you'll get something useful from the list...? Good luck!
