I'm looking for new music to listen to while working out/running. Most of the time I will just watch ESPN at the gym but when I'm outdoors I almost always have my ear buds in. So yeah, what kind of tunes are guys burning calories to these days?

I was wondering that myself. I need something upbeat to get me moving faster! I usually hit shuffle but then have to keep messing with it because a slow song will come on.0

Totally embarrassed to say it, but Katy Perry's "Firework" has been at the top of my playlist this last week... also a bunch of Outkast and David Bowie... oh, and Tom Jones' "Sex Bomb", but mostly because it makes me laugh.0

I like Tic Tok.. keisha
S&M Rihanna
those 2 really get me moving
Eye of the tiger is an oldie but def a goodie!!0 -
I downloaded .997 music to my phone. You can pick music from the 70, 80, or 90 and some other choices.0

Heres a link to another thread that has lots of suggestions also!!

Some of my favorite workout songs are:
1901-Phoenix
Breakeven--Script
Misty Mountain Hop--Led Zeppelin
Headsprung--LL Cool J
American Girl--Tom Petty
Where's Your Head At--Basement Jaxx
Any upbeat Justin Timberlake/ or Snoop song, and I have to admit any U2, Tom Petty or Led Zeppelin can usually get me through. I know it's a pretty random list, but I'm a pretty random person so it fits my style!0 -
Thanks for the link. Zeppelin and Bowie are definitely good choices that I had over looked. Good suggestions! Keep 'em coming...
On my playlist right now is:
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Baile Funk
Diplo
and oddly enough the latest Pearl Jam record seemed to keep me moving even with a handful of mellower song.
I know Nike does a collaboration effort with artists called "Original Run." I think I'll add a couple of those for this week.0 -
I usually listen to some hip-hop... usually the newer artists like Wiz Khalifa.
other than that, the majority of my workout music is rock.
On a CD i burned, i have:
Linkin Park - Wretches And Kings, The Catalyst, Blackout
Rise Against - Audience Of One
Avenged Sevenfold - Unholy Confessions
Some more but I can't think of them off the top of my head/....0 -
I was going to say Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings!! I ran 2 miles last week, first time ever in my life, all thanks to Ms. Sharon Jones.
I also really like Devotchka, Man Man and YACHT. Those are my gym standbys. Beirut is my cooldown.0 -
Baby I'm A Star - Prince0
-
Oh, and Tom Waits! Mule Variations has a lot of great songs that make me want to move. My fav Devotchka is How it Ends. The song Twenty-Six temptations has been on my running playlist for at least a year.0
-
AC/DC and play it loud.0
-
I'm a big fan of sexy ***** by akon. Makes me laugh while running. I also listen to a lot of hale storm and shinedown. Shinedown has a great song called devour. Really aggressive an gets me going.0

Well played, Samerah12.0
-
anything by Rihanna, Ke$ha, or Britney Spears. sad, i know. also, i use Pandora on my iPhone a lot.0
-
I think I'm the ONLY person on the planet that does not have an IPOD or something like it but I use Pandora on my smartphone and it's just as good I think. Thanks for all the suggestions!!0

Just a few...
Adele- Rollin In the deep and Rumor has it
Flogging Molly- Swagger (and others)
Primus- Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Smashing Pumpkins- Zero0 -
Girl Talk- All Day
HAnds down the BEST running music evah!! You can download it free from the website. He is a dj that mixes hip hop with 80s and 90s music and rock. Good stuff, awesome beat. Lotsa cussing, beware!!0
