    Progressive trance and heavy metal but my all time favorite is LMFAO-Sexy and I know it, when it's on, I look at the bodybuilders lifting weights and I envision them kissing their biceps, it keeps me entertained on the boring elliptical.

    Mine is still just house/dance music, it keeps me going that I don't know what song is which and it feels like it's never ending.

    I am always curious about what type of music people listen to while they are doing some sort of activity like running,weight training,cardio, etc. I change it up sometimes but I always end back to the house music pumpin through my ear buds.
    What do some of you listen to?

    When I used to listen to music, it was 80s (nerdy, right?). But I started getting so bored on the treadmill/elliptical listening to music no matter what kind. So now I watch movies on my phone. Not the crappy TV shows they have on generic stations at the gym. I tap into my Netflix account and pull up a movie. Recently its been "Warrior" with Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton. I'll watch for the entirety of my time on the machine and then stop until the next round. It helps me forget how boring cardio is!

    I listen to lots of angry stuff. Angry Dance from Billy Elliot is a good one, as is a good chunk of the songs from Emilie Autumn's newest album, Fight Like a Girl. For some weird reason, Time for Tea always gets me pumped XD

    Anything hard. I love to listen to Godsmack. That's my favorite. Makes me feel like a bad *kitten* and I work out harder/longer. I like Rob Zombie, NIN, Shinedown, A7X too.

    I love you. :D That's such a great album, and all her stuff is in rotation on my Sansa... If people ONLY knew. :P

    I have 32GB of EBM, Industrial, Punk Noise, Electroglitch and various dubstep/EDM. I use the EDM stuff when I'm having a particularly crappy day and my hate music would just make me want to slaughter cute fluffy things. I just flip through whatever works with my tempo at the time - I ain't that picky.
