    What genre do you like?
  • Me too! I like fast paced dance music. 'Swedish house mafia vs knife party' gets me going at the moment.

    have you tried jog.fm ? you can make all kinds of playlists and they even recommend songs based on your intended workout , for example, if you want to run at a 6 min mile pace they will recommend songs at a beats per minute pace which should help you acheive that goal

    I like non stop "Black Eyed Peas"! It lets me ride my bike for 3 hours nonstop! Any other music slows me down!

    I usually workout to current R'n'B or hip-hop songs, depending on what's out at the time!
    Having said that, there are some bands I love working out to including "Walter Mitty & The Realists" and "The Killers"!ღ

    I like to work out to Tool as well...maybe not the brand of metal you speak of...

    would you believe I listen to Most of the soundtrack to top gun.

    Dangerzone really gets me moving.

    also into the Metal a fair bit. Metallica, Maiden, Mammoth etc.

    If I have the bandwidth on my Iphone I also have a cheeky way of listening to Las Vegas radio KLUC.

    Usually the morning show by the time I am in the gym due to the 8 hour time difference.

    If my workout is dance- I normally stick with the dance genre's music, i.e. bhangra, bellydance, irish, disco, hula, ballet, etc..

    If I'm just doing a walk video or walk/run workout- I use my iPod that has a wide variety of music- but right now I listen a lot to Rockethead and electro swing (both can be found free on soundcloud.com.

    I love bhangra music for working out, something about it really gets me going. Any songs/artists that you recommend in particular?

    I'll offer up a song I love to run to: "Exotic on the Speaker" - Soulico ft Rye Rye. "and yeah I jump around when the speaker makes a sound" :)

    My favorite djs for Bhangra are DJ Gem and Panjabi MC (for Panjabi, try Indian Timing and the single of "beware of the boys" )
