in Fitness and Exercise
Looking to expand my playlist beyond the 30 or so song that I rotate during my lifting workouts. Some noteworthy music I use includes:

Summer Song
Thunderstruck
Eye of the tTiger
Living on a prayer
Paradise City (guns and roses)
Highway to the danger zone
For ever (KiSS)
etc.

Wondering what other charged up numbers others might be using for their workouts?

Do share.

    Depends on what I'm doing:
    Pilates (reformer): Classical, mostly fugue and stuff from the Baroque period ...

    Cardio, Kettlebell, weights:
    Big Band/Swing (Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and the like)
    Frank Sinatra
    AC/DC
    The Beatles
    The Four Seasons (and other "oldies" ...)
    Opera (Carmen is awesome ... )
    Some 80's Pop stuff
    ABBA

    I run WAY faster (7:00 min/mile 5Ks) listening to Big Band/Swing ... It's fun to hoop dance to as well ...

    I'm pretty diverse too.. if it doesn't get my motivated or have a good beat, I wont use it to workout. I like old and new songs.. rotate em when I can. Right now a small list is...

    Awolnation - Sail
    Jay-Z- No church in the wild
    Breaking Benjamin
    Aerosmith

    I google workout playlists... I always forget songs until I hear them. Try iHeart radio on a few diff stations and flip through some songs to see what you get. I'm more of an early 2000 rock person and hip hop person, so not much help I dont think :)

    i pick a metallica album and listen to it on repeat. if i actually notice that its gone all the way through, i choose another one. sometimes i mix it up with some megadeth or ozzy sabbath, but its 99% metallica.

    good ones are

    the black album, ride the lightning, and justice for all.

    Excellent playlist..........I can definitely pump it to some FFDP, Disturbed and Metallica (oddly enough, Apocalyptica playing Metallica is an excellent choice for cooldown music)

    I like to listen to stuff with a high BPM count so I can feel like I am riding the elliptical along at the same pace. Usually I set my Pandora channel to my Crystal Method station. Generally anything one could classify as electronica or EDM (electonic dance music) I'm cool with. For weights I dial it back and listen to more poppy stuff - Britney Spears, Ke$ha.
