Hi there. I am looking for some good music to listen to / keep pace when exercising. To give you some idea of what I'm looking for - this one seems quite suitable: Fatboy Slim - Right here, right now More suggestions? Thanks!
anything that seems to cheer up your day is great to use... i like upbeat tempos, things that make me feel sexy, and stuff my daughter and I can play around with.. and then we end up dancing and singing around the house like maniacs! haha
I love some songs off the "Mortal Kombat" soundtrack. Check it out. Also, Vince Di Cola has 2 instrumental themes on Rocky IV that are fucking fantastic, "War" and "Training Montage". I also like "Face The Pain" by Stemm which is the opening theme for Ultimate Fighting Championship ppv events.
i like "ghosts" from nin. it's all instrumental...kinda funky...good rhythms and beats, AND it's over an hour long. i put it in the player and run up and down my stairs til it's over. phew! good stuff!
My wife and I made several tapes for exercising--although it's been a few years so there are no current hits. Since we use an exercycle and a treadmill, one of the main criteria was a driving beat that makes ya want to keep on walking/pedaling. That led us to good medium-tempo dance tunes, rather than some of our favorite prog rockers that either change rhythm every fourteen bars or else are in 11/4 time like Rush. Other than that, they just have to be songs that we're not going to get tired of after listening to them a bunch of times. Here are some of our picks: Black Sabbath: Rock and Roll Doctor The Cars: Moving in Stereo Concrete Blonde: Dance along the Edge The Cult: Big Neon Glitter Eurythmics: Revival Peter Gabriel: Sledgehammer Golden Earring: Twilight Zone INXS: Suicide Blonde Michael Jackson: Billie Jean Cyndi Lauper: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun M: Pop Muzik Nine Inch Nails: Sanctified Terri Nunn: 89 Lines PiL: The Body Robbie Robertson: Hell's Half Acre Roxy Music: Manifesto Sisters of Mercy: Dominion/Mother Russia Styx: Too Much Time on My Hands U2: Mysterious Ways
Tone Depth- Rumblefish(Maher Daniel Remix) Topher Jones- Barclay and Max Whelan & Di Scala- Cuba Alex Millan- Modern Love To name a few.
Marilyn Manson gets me super pumped. I like to get as pissed off as I possibly can while I'm working out so I can vent my anger in a healthy manner. I pity the fool who confronts me shortly after my workout Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! It also allows me to go at it much harder. Manson and Tool both do a good job of getting me there. Funny thing about tool though, is that they can also really calm me down when I want to relax. But if I really want to get my blood pumping, The album Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson is the best. Oh, also these songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3G2BQVrcOs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoYmSKdDkW0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9heS667LUHE Damn... I would love to kill someone to that music *Shit, did I say that? or was I just thinking it... Did they hear me?"
Listen to all of Jethro Tull's song "Thick as a Brick" That'll be almost your whole workout. Look it up on youtube... I don't have enough posts to post a link.
If you want to get super pumped, go with Slayer or Children of Bodom. I swear I can run like 25% faster, indefinitely, as long as I have one of those two bands blasting. If electronic music is more your thing, I've had a lot of luck with Crystal Method and various hard drum'n'bass (Dom & Roland, Technical Itch). If you like a more relaxed workout, I'd go with some Creedence.
Try ambient music from Boards of Canada: Boards of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVWcptE6UAI&feature=related Boards of Canada - Music Is Math http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7bKe_Zgk4o&feature=related and more wonderful songs from them... Hatha Yoga works best with these.
I find rock and roll the best. It's fast and energetic.Try... Seek and Destroy-MetallicA Thunderstruck-AC/DC Rollin-Limpbizcit Down with the sickness-Disturbed Right Now-Korn Walk this way-Aerosmith(Run DMC mix) Their are many others, but these are some of the tops. The key to workout music is a steady rythm.
Quite a metalhead myself too (that and 20's music...somewhat diverse selection, I admit), but something a little silly and fun always gets me going, something like Maniac by Michael Sembello.
If you are looking for something just to keep pace to as you run, a good old fashioned marine/army cadence could work:
