    I prefer more of the "angry" category of metal to get me pumped up. Lamb of god, Hatebreed, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir and various other bands. I always find that metal pumps me up a lot more compared to other music.

    When I'm running, it's almost always Rage Against the Machine (self-titled album).
    I listen to Rage when I'm walking. And right after yoga. It's cathartic.

    Anything that makes me want to punch someone in the face. So, metal a lot of the time. Or I just paste a picture of Taylor Swift's face on punching bag and use that. Eh, either or.

    I don't listen to anything when I'm doing weights, but when I run, I listen to audio books. They make me concentrate on something other than my suffering.

    I used to listen to a variety of hard rock, uptempo pop, etc while running with RunKeeper on my iPhone. Then one day I forgot my headphones, so I went out with no music. I found my pacing to be much more even, as I was able to listen to my breathing and footfalls to get into a decent groove. Ever since, no music. Just my experience, I know many people who can't go running unless they've got tunes. Whatever works for you :)

    Slipknot, Korn, Skrillex, Blink 182, Green Day, Yiruma... i usually like the heavy stuff to gear me up, but need the softer stuff for focus and cool down

    Nice! I couldn't run to it, but that's definitely an excellent choice:)

    I listen to music, a broad range of genres and styles and decades. So far its the only thing that motivates me to get moving unless I'm taking a walk. Then I do my thinking /praying or talk to my husband if he chooses to walk with me.

    I listen to my mp3s if I am getting my power walk on. If I am doing resistance, i don't listen to anything because I am listening to the trainer on the dvd.
