It depends on what part of my workout...I used to have an MP3 player loaded with an hour set of music, and when the music was done so was my workout. It had pump up stuff (like Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, etc etc) during weights...quick rock during cardio, and happy ("scar tissue", some U2) stuff during cardio cool-down...

When I rowed I found that the Mission Impossible music would drop my 500m split by about 2 seconds on the machine. And "Remember Me" by Blueboy was always very good for rhythm.

I like lyricless techno for running/biking and hard rock for weight training. I wish there was some way to listen underwater, then swimming wouldn't be so damn boring.

Just what ever your into works just fine, maybe something with a lil more up tempo beat though to keep you hyped up. When lifting I usually listen to rap or rock. However when I jog I like listening to hawaiian or reggae music, just what ever floats ur boat.

I go between crazy rock and classical. Yes, I'm weird.

During workouts I listen to whatever is playing in the gym. Its usually allright. Before a match, I have a warm up cd that I listen to with my favorite pump up songs. I change it every season. But the one song that has always been on it is ACDC Thunderstruck. I listen to that right before ever match. It gets me ready to hit people.

Hard Hoover House or some good German Trance or Psychadelic Trance .... very uplifting ... and sometimes just some nice hard guitar work with angry lyrics ala NIN, Tool, RATM etc ..

Spybreak! (the matrix lobby scene) and Bang On! by the propellerheads, also Disco Science (rabbit scene from Snatch) by Mirwais. You could have a fleet of helicopters blast Disco Science instead of Ride of the Valkyries and it would have a similar effect. . .

I just listen to whatever they are playing......but when what is playing turns out to be something you would expect on a "Melodies for lovers, an after dusk, moonlight special" starts blaring from the speakers.....i feel like its time to ask a fellow lifter for a slow dance rather than work out. So i understand why many of you bring your disc-mans and stuff.

if you need immediate adrenaline, "awake" by godsmack is gold.
otherwise, other godsmack, limp bizkit, rage, foo fighters, queens of the stone age are all good. although usually the music they have playing there isn't bad either. but seriously, "awake." you'll recognize it from the navy commercials. awesome. |

usually it's hard for lifting... Metallica, Disturbed,Godsmack, Motley Crue, The Offspring, Slayer, Pantera, etc...
For running, it depends...usually listen to Howard Stern while I run during the week and something a little more mellow on the weekend [sometimes the hard stuff gets me going to all out for my training...]
