Just wondering what everyone listens to while working out/running. I'm getting tired of listening to the same music and need some suggestions from others.

    I don't listen to music while I workout; I prefer books on my ipod. However, I've heard that Lady Gaga's album is great workout music!

    Nothing gets me running more than The Offspring and Nickelback. Hard Alternative Rock with a little bit of anger and a good beat. :laugh: But hey, that's just what works for me. Others on my play list are Theory of a Deadman, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mudd, Foo Fighters, Social Distortion, Green Day and Hinder. I throw some country on there too, but it's hard for me to run to it. They are more for cool down. My warm up song is Flirtin' With Disaster! :bigsmile: I also put some other songs on there that I occasionally find that have a good beat, like Black Eyed Peas, Eve, Brazilian Girls, Eminnem, Flo Rida, EMF, etc. The ultimate song for me to run to though is Hammerhead by The Offspring. It's amazing, I'll be so tired and I'll think to myself, "O.K., after this song I'm done." Then, Hammerhead will come on and I will somehow find the strength and continue to run! :tongue:

    I found a lot of my running songs by picking a channel on either Pandora or Slacker. Like on Slacker.com, I picked the Hard Alternative Rock station and listened to it for some of my workouts. I liked their selections and used that when compiling my play list. Hope this helps! Nothing is more motivating than good music when you are working out. My play list often keeps me on the treadmill LONG after my body would have given up! Good luck!

    I listen to Tool pretty exclusively. Songs are faily long, typically start slow and rise to a crescendo. There is something primal about Danny Carey's drumming than resonates well with my work out, coupled with Adam Jones guitar texturing and Maynard's vocal versatility. Great for intervals.

    Thanks for the great ideas, I've listened to some and have already downloaded to my ipod. Today is a run day so I'll see how it goes with the new music.
