My workout playlist is starting to get a little bit old and a little less motivating. I'm looking to add some new music to my morning run.

What are your favorite and most motivating songs to work out/run to?

    Matters what kind of music you like to listen to. Personally I couldn't imagine working out to anything other than rap or rock. My workout playlist consists of both. Rap/hip hop = Eminem / till I collapse, Nelly / #1, Fort Minor / Remember the Name. Rock = Skillet / Monster, Avenged Sevenfold / Carry On, Gun's and Roses / Welcome to the Jungle just to name a few

    Walk by the Foo Fighters
    You're Going Down and War by Sick Puppies


    Just a few favorites. Most of my workout music is rock and lately a few pop songs by Lady Gaga & Pink crept in.

    The music i listen to when i go out for a run is Hard House, Hardstyle or any other form of the harder side of dance music. It has a fast beat to it so when i feel myself slowing down is skip the song to a more upbeat tempo and pick the pace up. Not sure if it would help or have the same effect in a gym but it does the job when i'm out running

    More Human than Human by White Zombie. The moaning in the beginning really gets me amped for lifting.

    This week I added "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody." I have a crush on that song for cardio work right now.

    I tune my Pandora station over to either Beck (and all similar pop-rock with hip-hop and techno influences - like Beastie Boys) or Rage Against the Machine (a band I don't really have a use for other than working out).

    One time, I tried my favorite guy, Frank Sinatra and his compatriots of crooners - on the StairMaster, I was "Singing in the Rain"...so, crooners, not so much workout music.

    This may seem a bit radical, but try it without any music. I would have been incredulous two months ago if I read that. However, I plan on running a race in June through the city of Boston and there are no headphones allowed. So I tried it to see if I could and oddly, I enjoyed it. It really helps me get lost in my thoughts, I'm more in tune with my breathing and I get in the zone a lot quicker.

    I can't bring myself to do it on days where I'm forced to run on a treadmill, mind you but outside I've been enjoying being left to my thoughts.

    My running trainer actually told me not to listen to music when I run but to focus on my form and all that. I just cant do it! I enjoy the feeling of running when I'm done but during the process I need something to distract me from thinking about running. Otherwise, I'd never get very far :(
