Hi, All!
I want to make a MFP playlist for working out. I like all kinds of music, but am getting bored with the mix I have made for the gym. So, I'm opening up the floor to all of you: what are your top three workout songs? Annnddd GO!

    It totally depends on what I'm doing.

    If its cardio: Pop, Electronic, old school 80's and 90's pop. Anything totally up beat, if it makes me wanna dance its a winner

    If I'm lifting: Bands like Seether, Theory of a Dead Man, Puddle of Mud, Metallica. Its got have an edge to it and maybe be a little angry

    Hi :)
    For Cardio I use upbeat remixes of today's pop/hip-hop

    and for weight lifting I seriously only listen to the same music over and over lol it's CAKED UP remixes of songs. It's trap music but it totally gets me in the mood for lifting. Here is an example! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHC8Hwq9Eag

    I LOVE using Rockmyrun.com to find awesome workout mixes. They give you a free credit a month, so it's free if you're patient and pretty cheap if you're not! :)

    I generally use Pandora or 8tracks (I've run into some streaming issues from 8tracks recently) when I'm walking or jogging. for my cool down and stretching, I like to use Modern Meditations. They have pop songs that are relaxed and instrumental. Perfect for stretching.

    For the first song of your workout, I recommend "Survival" from Muse. (The London Olympic theme song).
    It jsut get's you so inspired. :)

    One of my favourite things to do in the world, is to get a new album, upload it to my music device and then spend my entire workout getting lost in the album. It is really relaxing and it allows me to do things at once, work on my body and work on my music knowledge.

    i've really liked listening to AWOLNATION when working out (through the whole album), as well as:

    -Pendulum (awesome dnb music, great motivator)

    -Knife Party (same guys from Pendulum in a house-electro genre)

    -Nickelback albums, especially "Here and Now", there are some great songs for getting pumped up. I especially like the ones about "sexy girls" because it makes me feel like working out is getting me that much closer to becoming one ;)

    -30 Seconds to Mars' first album/2nd album both have very grungy sounds which makes them awesome for tough workouts. Their more recent albums, not so much.
