Workout Music

[JonathonWally]

I'm sure this thread has been posted before, but didn't see one going back for a month, so I'm starting one.


So, in the gym, on the treadmill, out running, what is everyone listening too?

Me? I'm typical, Rocky Soundtrack with some good metal thrown in. Lots of Guns n Roses.

I listen to the mixes of my friend, DJ Mark Bisson. He also sends me weekly emails of his material - CD length, new, fresh. He just got back from a tour in Australia/NZ, so he'll be posting new stuff soon. I highly recommend his podcasts in his archive here.

 

[Hitman]

Heavy Metal, or Drum&Bass.

Lots of heavy, militaristic soundtracks (esp recently all of the Sarah Connor tracks I could get my hands on), plus a mix of Techno, Hardcore, Rock, Heavy Metal, rap, etc etc etc - basically anything with a heavy enough beat to it.

I generally used to use a lot of electronic or harder edged music, though these days I just listen to whats on the gym radio. I think I'll probably start listening to my Mp3 player again soon though.

Ack! You couldn't PAY me to listen to all that cheesy pop crack they pump out all the time - I nearly had a panic attack the other week when my MP3 player temporarily went haywire... I mean, how can I workout without my music?!

Jock Jams and Marky Mark, obviously!

Good vibrations! Sweet sensations!

what else is there? If' you're working out as a montage, any Rocky music or Team America's "Montage" would work

just don't listen to Klingon music!

I only listen to whatever the gym radio has on. I can't stand having extraneous bits of technology attached to me when I'm trying to workout.

When I'm doing cardio (usually the stationary bike), I read a book.

"Holding out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler is pretty much the best workout song evar.

you listen to "Danger Zone" don't even deny it.

That and "Playing With The Boys". Something about that Kenny Loggins that's just irrresistable.
