in Motivation and Support
So, my playlist is getting a little stale :grumble: and I want to add some really good high energy songs to help motivate me to get through my workouts. What are some of your favorite songs that are "must haves" in your playlist? :drinker:

    Lately I like the "harder" stuff: Chevelle (Forfeit is an AWESOME one of theirs), My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park. Umm, I can't think right now, but it's the hard music that keeps me pumped up and going.

    You should also check out 30 Seconds To Mars if you haven't already done so. I'm a huge fan of theirs. Their older stuff is heavier, but I still have yet to hear a song of theirs that I didn't like. (Small fun fact: The picture on my 'ticker' is a screen grab from their Kings + Queens video)

    When I'm running out of new song ideas, I turn on iheartradio and just let that play randomly. It usually gives me some pretty good ideas. :happy:

    Also, they need a "High-Five" smiley. Make it so. :wink:

    I always go back to the classics, you just can't go wrong. Sex Pistols, Ramones, Violent Femmes, Suicidal Tendencies, Nirvana, Melvins...

    Usually when i work out I tend to turn on Iheart Radio and my favorite station is Club Phusion -lots of upbeat techno dance stuff which is great for keeping high energy and moving. The others I listen to are rock - staind, chevelle, and hard metal stuff..

    That's funny because I just answered this recently on another forum. I know it's important... at least for me to stay on a machine for any time, it is. IMO when working out it's rap all the way... which I don't really listen to at any other time except maybe when I'm out dancing :

    Lose Control - Missy Elliott
    Pretty Girl Rock - Keri Hilson
    Stuntin' Like My Daddy - Birdman
    Kryptonite - Purple Ribbon All-Stars
    Wipe Me Down - Lil Boosie that feat. Foxx and Webbie
    Headsprung - LL Cool J

    A few months ago, I bookmarked an NPR series where they were interviewing various people to try and create the best workout mix. Here's the link: http://www.npr.org/2012/01/13/145185920/the-ultimate-npr-workout-mix

    They also have another link with 'themed' workouts like gospel, 80's, etc. called Sweatin' to NPR
