in Fitness and Exercise
I don't know about everyone else, but when I am working out, I NEED to have some good tunes. Slow tunes can sometimes KILL a workout for me, so I try to have upbeat, hype music to keep me going. But now I need your help!!!

I have been listening to the same running mix for the last year, and while I love whats on here (Jay Z, Kanye, Common, Dead Prez, to name a few) I am feeling the need for some new stuff. So I have a favor to ask:

Can you list your top 10 favorite songs to workout too? I am hoping to find new stuff I have not listened to before; it doesn't have to be new artists, but anything you listen to in order to get you up and going.

I love ALL music, so anything at all will be considered!

Thanks!

    My favourite thing to listen to when i work out (especially if i am doing weights) is Disturbed. They just have the right "i am going to kick this exercise in the a.." attitude :)

    These are in my regular run mix. I would think that many of the songs by these same bands would fit the bill.

    Bodies - Drowning Pool
    Bonfire - Knife Party
    Six - All That Remains
    Not Alone - All That Remains
    The Final Episode - Asking Alexandria
    Arguing With Thermometers - Enter Shikari
    Aisle - The Bunny the Bear
    I Will Not Bow - Breaking Benjamin
    Bonfire - Childish Gambino
    Low - Flo Rida
    The Sound of Truth - As I Lay Dying
    Just Lose It - Eminem
    Fette's Vett - MC Chris

    When I work out, I listen to old school stuff:
    Snoop Dogg
    Warren G
    NWA
    Ice Cube
    2 Live Crew
    Tone Loc

    For some reason it makes me smile and I can't help but move with it!

    The other day I had a great run while listening to red hot chili peppers' stadium arcadium.

    If I'm running outside then pandora has a great "alternative endurance training" station. Unfortunately my gym is in a basement and I don't get wifi down there =[

    My musical tastes are eclectic! I LOVE Trans-Siberian Orchestra, they have rocking tunes, mostly holiday.
    I made a playlist for working in the yard (my therapy and exercise) that consists of Linkin Park " Living Things", Muse "The Resistance", The Who "Quadrophenia", Savatage "Dead Winter Dead" , Guns & Roses "November Rain", and Mazzy Starr "Into Dust".
    That's just my current yard work list. I get bored easily, and will probably mix it up soon. I agree, you need a beat to keep up the energy. :)
    Good luck!

    I almost hate admitting this, but Korean Pop music is so unrelentingly uptempo that I can't listen to anything else while working out!
    I recommend T-ara, 2ne1, Big Bang, Super Junior, SNSD, BoA (especially her English album) and Hyuna.
