Work Out Music

I for one, really believe that music helps me work out better! Anyone else agree?

What sort of music helps your work out?

I need something fast paced, and trance-y! Any dance music really gets me going! ;-)

    I was born in europe and it must be in my blood but a few good techno pandora stations usually power me through. I also don't mind some rap to get me mad or rock to make me rage for a few heavy sets.

    I've seen many research reports supporting using music while working out. The last one I saw said something like those who were listening to music while working out had a 10% reduction in perceived difficulty. That's a pretty sizable boost.

    I tend to listen to rap or dance while working out.

    Metal all the way.

    5FDP, Volbeat, Atreyu... gets the adrenaline moving!

    Pink is one of my favorites while working out. Otherwise, anything fast and with a good beat. I tend to match my exercising with the beat for some reason. Ex. slower beat, I move slower.

    For me it's anything that makes me want to get up and dance. As others have said, the higher the beat the harder I work so there is nothing particularly slow on my play list. I also update it regularly to songs I'm currently really into.

    Currently on my play list I've got Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, LMFAO and similar. You get the idea.

    someone asked this once before. If I really want to get "transcendental" I plug in Talking Heads Live "Stop Making Sense". Mostly upbeat stuff non-stop

    If I'm in a dance music mood to run to, I usually go with the soundtracks from the anime series Initial D. It's all eurobeat, fast-paced, and a lot of fun.

    I used to listen to a lot of metal, punk, and hardcore type stuff but over the course of getting in shape have been switching to more mainstream rap, pop, and rock. I just felt like my previous music was angry, and i wasnt angry anymore after working out for like 8 months. I still listen to it though dont get me wrong. Some really motivational stuff I used to listen to was HATEBREED. DMX gets me pumped up now. Almost anything that doesnt annoy me while Im working out will get me pumped up. The other day I had on a Hanson called "Give a little." I was flipping a huge tire and punching a punching bag to that song and felt great! All depends.

    If you have satellite radio, just put on BPM and go.
