Workout/Training music soundtrack!

I figured it would be interesting to share music with one another, appropriate for working out to. I find that when I am running for extended periods of time, my music is what keeps me pumping long and hard, all the way through. I would especially like to expand my list of up-tempo beats best suited for vigorous training sessions. That being said, what do you ladies and gentlemen enjoy listening to during your exercises?? Here are a select few titles from my own playlist:

Alex Gaudino feat. Crystal Waters - Destination Calabria
Basement Jaxx - Good Luck
Black Eyed Peas - Pump It
Brigitte - Ma Benz
The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize
Cocco - カウントダウン (Countdown)
Dir en grey - The Final
Florence & The Machine - Drumming
Garbage - Push It
Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grand - Let Me Think About It
Imogen Heap - Headlock (High Contrast Remix)
Kaskade - Steppin' Out
KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree
Lacuna Coil - Heaven's a Lie
Nine Inch Nails - Deep
Paloma Faith - Upside Down
A Perfect Circle - Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums
Poe - Wild
The Prodigy - Firestarter
Turbo feat. Harisu - History
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

Looking forward to hearing some more, from other people!

I get really bored exercising, honestly. I prefer to listen to old radio programs, movies playing in the background, recordings of lectures/audio books, the news, etc... pretty much all the same kinds of things I prefer for long drives or while cooking.

I also like to switch what I'm doing frequently or how I'm doing it, which doesn't relate to your question so much except that I do it for the same reason I listen to stuff -- to avoid boredom.

I shouldn't even type on this subject.
I agree with EON. I LOVE audio books,
I have a class that likes to listen to "Jonny Dollar" while we do shoulders

and I have to own LOTS of workout music because I teach exercise classes.

I love the mix above tho!


If you want more, you can see also: www.dynamixmusic.com , www.musclemixesmusic.com and www.32mixes.com

A mix of instrumental soundtracks (Last of the Mohicans, Sherlock Holmes, Brotherhood of the Wolf, currently the Fright Night remake) mixed in with bits of metal, classical, and sometimes a touch of old country.

I should start listening to mp3s teaching Spanish and French though.

Shoveling snow = Superman Movies Power Rangers The Movie Ninja Turtles 1 and II Supergirl Star Trek 1 - 10 Kung Fu Fighting

Work out on my Athleats World NES game Star Wars Phantom of the Opera CATS Lion King Kung fu fighting

Entertaining Kids Muppet Movie The Muppet Show Disney movie soundtracks Ghostbusters

Seasonal Themes Thriller Freddy's Nightmare Non Traditional Christmas songs/music Nutcracker soundtrack Ghostbusters Monster Mash

The ramones, Queensryche, NIN, drowning pool. Themed music always works too( any hero movie stuff)

I alway listen to soundtracks while working out. The Gurren Lagann OST is a personal favorite, never fails to fire me up. I also like to listen to a variety of orchestral scores or really whatever I'm in the mood for at the moment.

The soundtrack for "Rapi Nui" is for hard-core workouts

Mumford and Sons, and Simon and Garfunkle.

Mumford and Sons is awesome.

Ditto, lol.

Also another one I forgot to mention is Evanescence. But yeah, Mumford and Sons is probably my favorite of the three.

This morning I put my cell phone on Pandora and jogged to my own Apocolyptica Radio Station.

Anything from Joan Jett, Kiss, Queen, Eurithmics , Blondie and anything else that has a good beat to workout to.

I listen to very varied music. All from classic music to techno and in rare occasions even some heavy. But the absolute best workout music for me has been DJ Tiesto, Nyana CD2
Definitely the best workout music for me.
Check it out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack. Playing it in the background got me through several months of forensics work.

Shakira - Rabiosa. or Loca
Moulin Rouge - Because We Can
Outkast - Bombs over Baghdad

I dunno, I have like a 100 song play list I listen to. but for working out, I listen to survivor, 3 doors down, blondie... all kinds of stuff. just anything thats rockin.

i like dance and upbeatty hip hop like music, its gets me motivated.

The warrior song "I got the reach and the teeth of a killing machine with the need to bleed you when the light goes green" <-- pimp song.

and who cant pump iron to johhny 5's I need a hero!! but this doesnt play on the radio so i just listen to it when i work out at home.

I have also decided to add: How to Destroy Angels - Is Your Love Strong Enough to my playlist.




Cheers,

thats actually by bonnie tyler. and it plays almost every day on SiriusXM's big 80's on 8

I prefer epic orchestral most of the time. I created a nice Pandora station that I seeded with the Halo soundtrack(the video game), and it plays a nice variety of stuff like the skyrim soundtrack, sherlock holmes, batman begins/dark knight, and pirates of the Caribbean.

I have a nice playlist of Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Skatellities, and The Specials.
