What do you like to listen to when you work out? (treadmill, working out)

[caligirlz]

Usually Casting Crowns on my iPod for cardio. However, I just heard Shane Dwight this afternoon, and have already downloaded a couple of albums so I'm ready for tomorrow! I don't listen to music when lifting weights...just my trainer....as he tries to torture me and my arguing/whining.

I always listen to high energy, bad attitude, or a$$ kicking music:


Red Hot Chili Peppers- Higher Ground - YouTube


Rage Against the Machine-Sleep now in the fire with lyrics - YouTube

[Sunnysee]

I'm in my fifties so it's classic rock to keep me moving, with occasionally Christian Contemporary music, like Casting Crown, but mostly my old, hard rock with a tad of top-forty in there, I think it's called.

And this:


metallica - master of puppets - YouTube

The Game - Where I'm From ft Nate Dogg - YouTube

One half of the gym plays top 40 crap, and the weight lifting area plays the metal

[D. Scott]

Vice Squad, Minor threat, Casualties, Black label society and Helmet.

I don't like to listen to anything while in the gym. It distracts me.


When at home doing push ups and pull ups, I listen to my smooth jazz channel on Pandora.

Depends on the workout.

Bollywood Dancing = Indian Music
Tai Chi = whatever that calming chimey stuff is...lol
Bike = horror/action movie or music

Music depends on the mood. But it has to have high energy like:


IN FLAMES - Deliver Us (OFFICIAL VIDEO) - YouTube

Biking to metal..hahhaa. Always makes you go fast!

I like this one (or pace) for strength training as its slow enough to keep form but fast enough it gives you a bit of challenge on the reps. (various style sit ups, planks, leg work (lifts, donkey, squat)

Weights: Metal like Disturbed, older Metallica, Guns & Roses, RATM, Pantera. AC/DC. Cranks my adrenaline way up. I also liked this music when I did kickboxing ... I seriously love slugging a heavy bag to really loud, angry music.

Elliptical: Depends on my routine. Sometimes it's dubstep because the songs are long and I can lose myself in it and keep the beat. Other times I like disco or new wave, older stuff that's peppy. "Heart of Glass" is the perfect running speed for me. I have a folder of music on my iPod and cycle through what I need at the time.

Stretching: Slightly Stoopid, Bob Marley, mellower stuff.
