Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could shoot me some ideas for hip hop type cardio/ dance music. Rap and hip hop are not exactly my prefered genre but I enjoy the fast paced beats and find it easy to move to... Pretty much anything heart pumping with a good beat will do! I would be grateful for any ideas.

Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure what type of MP3 player you have but if your on itunes, there are some great podcasts for fitness music, check it out when you have a chance.

    I work with a bunch of Brazilian soccer players...and needless to say their music has made it's way into my workouts... Try looking at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcm55lU9knw. It's a Brazilian guy named Michael Telo and the song is called Ai Se Eu Te Pego. I by no means speak Portuguese, but I know all the words (and what they mean).

    I love Linkin Park's music. They are hard rock and rap combined.

    No rap or hip hop...Liquid tension Experiment is what you want.

    I don't have an MP3 player currently lol it broke and I'm cheap... looking for mainly rap/hiphop type things. Also the brazilain music link was nice to listen to, has almost a cajun type beat to it. Not quiet what I am looking for, but thank you both very much for sharing

    PodRunner on iTunes is a free workout podcast that updates every week with an hour's workout (groove, funk, electric music) that has a beat per minute tag to each ( indicating how fast the music will be and can choose specific to the intensity of your workout). The BPM really does propel me to work harder and an hour speeds by. Check it out: http://www.djsteveboy.com/mixes.html

    I know what you mean...has taken me awhile to get used to listening to it. And lets be honest... Michael Telo' is not too hard on the eyes..lol

    If you're into rock and techno check out Pendulum, Deadmau5 and Kascade. I listen to those stations on Pandora and they're alwayys playing good beats.

    thank you everyone for the ideas so far, some pretty good ones in there. I just find that my prefered genres (60's and 70's rock and head music) arent exactly as fast paced as i need for cardio. I also enjoy heavy rock for working out strength training and knocking a heavy bag around lol my angry music :tongue:

    You are so right! When I get home from work and do not feel like exercising, I just start up a Pendulum CD and the rest is history.

    Have you looked at Reggeaton? It's hip hop in Spanish pretty much. The beats are always fun to workout to and if you don't like the genre, then it's good you can't (Unless you speak Spanish) understand the words haha. For example, Gasolina by Daddy Yankee.

    I use Pandora Radio App on my iphone, I know they have it on Droids as well. They have "workout" stations if you add a new station by Genre and they have like 10 different stations. Good luck to you all!

    Techno beats such as Bad Boy Bills music really get me going on cardio.
