Motivational Music

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who listen to music when they work out, but my question is, what music/songs do you listen to? I enjoy listening to certain rock and dubsteb styled songs while I run or strength train.

"Salt In the Wound" - Pendulum

"I Get Off" - Halestorm

Those two are my personal favorites to hear while I'm working out and always seem to give me a second wind.

Post your favorite songs and maybe you can help me or others fill up our play lists!

    Limp Bizkit - My Way

    Pendulum - The Tempest

    Prodigy - Fire Starter (sub focus remix)

    Plan B - Stay Too Long (pendulum remix)

    I probably listen to those every time I work out!

    The Crystal Method is my go to get pumped cardio music. Their ‘Drive’ album was specifically designed for working out, but I prefer 'Tweekend' and 'Legion of Boom.'

    I do also enjoy stupid songs too. For some reason being able to laugh at a stupid song helps keep my mind off running.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U Gunther - Ding Ding Dong

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq5MekUgWuM Crazy Loop - Crazy Loop

    Two of my personal favorites!

    I listen to a pretty wide mix of songs, but of what I've got on my playlist, there are a few that kind of get me going a bit more:

    Vitamin C - Smile (Super cheesy, I know. I can't figure out why it works, but I HAVE to start my workout with this every day.)
    Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly
    Korn - Coming Undone
    Green Day - Know Your Enemy
    Katy Perry - Firework
    Chumbawumba - Tubthumper
    Lou Bega - Mambo #5
    Kesha - Take It Off
    Green Day - Long View
    Foo Fighters - Breakout

    This mix would never play on the same radio station, but it works for me *lol* I have quite a few more on my playlist, mostly green day, foo fighters, and various others, but these stand out to me when I'm working out.

    Some good songs here. I think I've added atleast a dozen new tunes to my MP3.

    I listened to the Pendulum album twice tonight while working out and plan on listening to it again tomorrow!

    Keep them coming people!!!
