What do you workout to?

Wanted! Great exercise tunes!

Exercise music - what are you listening to?

Any good tunes?

Your favorite workout music

Some of my favorites are:
Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
Sexy Bitch by David Guetta
Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO
Right Round by Flo Rida and Kesha
I know you want me by Pitbull

I tend to prefere the club music with a good beat, I find it keeps me distracted from the workout but helps to keep my pace up.

Rocky soundtracks

"This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name"

-- "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor

I almost always workout on the treadmill - mostly fast walking - my old knees can't take running any more and shoulder tendonitis and sciatica keep me from lifting or squating. Getting old sucks

I listen to an eclectic mess of new and old - I setup my list so that the beat paces are in intervals - Queen, Michael Jackson - "Jam" and "They don't really care about us, Cage The Elepant (Ain't no rest for the wicked), lady gaga, Green Day, I warm up to Zombie by the Cranberries, etc

But the Fort Minor song really got me exercising again - I listened to it over and over to push through my first few sessions...then it got easier and now I have all sorts of songs.

I tend to go for psy-trans like Infected Mushroom...maybe some Tiesto for working out. On the circuit training days, lifting days, or slow stretching days, I like gothic or industrial fusion like Collide.

I like Linkin Park (fave band) mostly for working out. The whole Meteora album works well, so does Minutes to Midnight.

Thanks for all the links erika2633. All of those threads are great sources of information and having a reference to them in this thread makes it very convenient (adding to favorites!).

DV - I'm pretty sure all those song ae on my "Fast Pump Run" playlist

I rock out... the heavy drums and fast beats serve to up my tempo.I get amped up and run or bike harder without even realizing it! A couple faves....Butthole Surfers - Who was in my room last night / Metallica - Fuel / Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country / Linkin Park - Faint / Alter Bridge - Metalingus / Prodigy - Smack my bitch up / Nine Inch Nails - Head like a hole

JessWhatINeeded - Do you have more than one work out play list? That ingenious! I have a workout and a yoga list.. but different lists for different activities is so smart! Why didn't I think of that before? I have definitely noticed that some music is better on the elliptical or treadmill, while walking or weights would be better suited for other music.
