    It depends on what kind of exercise I'm doing.

    I usually turn on my songza App and pick something from their "working out" set of playlists. I do tend to gravitate to the playlists with hits from the 80s...they seem to be the best speed etc. for what I'm after.

    Metal for me, the speed keeps me going. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Soulfly. It's not for everyone.

    This song is perfect at the end of a workout because part 1 gives you a good rhythm for that final push and part 2 goes into a mellow cool down.
