Hey MFP people,

I am in need of some help. I need some new music for my workouts. I'm getting a little bored and find I am skipping lots of songs. I like to start off mellow and pace the music as I increase my intensity, then I like some slow jams for the cool down and stretching.

What are you favorite songs to work out too? Is there a song that gets you super pumped? :)

I pretty much listen to every type of music, from Dean Martin to Rammstein. All suggestions are apperciated.

    My exercise playlist consists of all things electronic. The beats and crazyness always gets me pumped.
    Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Skrillex, Avicii, Feed Me...just to name a few.

    Midnight in a Perfect World from DJ shadow is a great cool down song.

    If you have a smartphone get Pandora! You'll discover new music that is similar to the music that you already like :D

    The station i really like on Pandora is called Black Stone Cherry Radio. It really gives me the upbeat music i need to power through my workouts when i'm outside walking, jogging, or rollerblading.

    Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk. Gets me every time.

    Um... Bodies by Drowning Pool.

    I also listen to a lot of Brokencyde and Escape the Fate.

    Oh, and the occasional Akon. :P

    There is a website called runhundred.com that gives several good ideas for workout songs and organizes tracks by beats per minute or genre. You do have to provide an e-mail address to use the site, but I have yet to receive unwanted e-mails from the site. I use the site for song ideas and download them elsewhere... :D
