    Don't have a specific song really but I tend to listen to metal or punk when I pick things up and put them down.

    If you dislike rap- stop reading... But I do have a better suggestion than free pandora app- it's Songza and they play 1 commercial up front and that's all you hear for hours- until you switch stations. You can also skip 5 songs on each station. I love it! Anyway-my stations on there are 'happy pop' / 'today's clu bangers' / 'vodka escapades' / and others like 'country crossovers' 'cardio hip hop'.

    Current fav song for running=
    0-100 drake
    Still d.r.e - dr dre
    Any beyonce

    I like acoustic guitar for lifting

    Push-ups/pull up work out- need something 180bpm to get a rythym. (Btw there's a '180bmp' station on Songza too!)

    I prefer Spotify. I have a cardio mix and a lifting mix. I'm always looking for songs to add. I added a bunch of viking metal songs to my lifting mix.

    One of my favorites at the moment is I'm Only Joking by Kongos.

    I just added "Bang Bang - Jessie J. et all" and "Animals - Maroon 5" to my playlist (actually, it's called the KickAss Mix, haha!).

    I don't really have a favorite workout song. I'm in the mood for something different everyday, but it's hard to go wrong with some upbeat hip-hop or some electronic/house/dance music. There are even times when I'll throw on a podcast while I'm working out because I'm just weird like that.

    @dirtyflirty30‌ Jessie J's "Bang Bang" is such a catchy song... that entire album gets stuck in my head for days on end

    Bulls on Parade is one of my fav workout songs, as is anything by RATM.



    RATM is fantastic for working out, whether it's cardio or lifting. My favorites are "Freedom" and "Know your Enemy".

    I personally like to switch it up, from punk to ska to dubstep whatever fits my mood, I always like to keep my options open.

    With Pandora I listen to different stations like
    Dubstep, reel big fish, electric six, blackeyed peas, placido domingo, vivaldi, pixies, soundgarden, jazz (bebop), anime etc.

    Wide range of choices :)

    I realized yesterday that my running music is definite need of revamping. What worked before doesn't seem to cut it anymore. Glad we have this thread so I can get some ideas.

    I've been on Pandora for years so I have a ton of different stations but I found a new one to listen to last week. This may sound weird but I decided to listen to my Irish jig station while running and when a good reel was going mapmyrun chimed in that I was running at over 8 mph. Was the beat starts going on those it is so fast you can't help but move.

    Anything with a fast beat. I'd say my Shinedown station would be the one I'd go to for a workout though, lots of strong rock.

    I have everything from Metallica to Joe Nichols to Pitbull. I just added Ain't It fun by Paramore and I love running to it.

    PS - I am that girl that is dancing while she runs........... my neighbors think I am crazy

    You are not alone girl! I dance while I walk/jog along our road (a secondary highway) I like to think I bring something to talk about our at least smile/laugh to people's day :smiley:

    My gym playlist is all over the place but some of the tracks that never fail to get me going are:

    Block Rocking Beats- Galvanize
    Beyonce - Who Run The World?
    Dropkick Murphys - Shipping Up To Boston (always makes me feel like I'm being chased by pirates)
    Stronger - Kanye (ugh)
    Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound
    Plastic Betrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi
    The Prodigy - Poison


    Looking forward to checking out some of the suggestions on here and freshening my playlist up a bit!
