Music to Work out to??

[jeff black]

I like variety, and my list is getting a bit old.

Who's got suggestions for some really good upbeat (or slower) songs I could get to really kick my ass into 5th gear when I need it?

I've got fairly broad tastes.

 

[nudeyorker]

Anything Goes (Patti Lupone)
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Go Go's
Peter Cincotti
Chess (London Soundtrack)
Eagles
Billy Joel
The Kinks
Marisa Monte
Cole Porter
Linda Rondstadt
Janet Seidel
Boz Scaggs
Happy workout!

I'm old, so forgive my tastes, but DISCO works for me. Songs that inspire me to push a bit more include:

I Will Survive -- Gloria Gaynor
The Boss -- Diana Ross
Makin' It -- David Naughton
Do Or Die -- Grace Jones
I Need A Man -- Grace Jones
Gloria -- Laura Branigan

There are so many, but those six are first to pop in my mind.

I also like anything by Taylor Dayne.

Off the top of my head, here are some suggestions:

1. At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command (you can play this one all the way through)
2. Tool - Aenima (another one you can play all the way through)
3. M.O.P. - Ante Up
4. Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says

There was recently a thread on this same topic in the "Bodybuilding Hardbodies" group ... FYI.

If you're doing a lot of lifting, I definitely recommend anything by Rage Against the Machine. When I was in my teens, I loved putting on "Evil Empire" and working out. Maybe the same will hold true for you.

[MickeyLee]

lifting requires the aggro and the heavy bass thump. so love pantera, type o negative, life of agony, slipknot, mudvayne.

the ipod sets the tone and the pace more often than not.

You need some heavy dance music with a strong beat... Any of the Ministry of Sound albums should do fine :wink:

 

[Xcuze]

Just put YMCA on a loop...thats how I got my beach body :arms::banana:

 

[Apollo1]

I'm not sure of what your regimen consists of, but if you're doing something with a low impact or some stretching, or even pilates, I'd strongly suggest Portishead's debut record "Dummy" or Esthero's "Breath from Another."

Blessings

Wow guys and gals, thanks for all the songs... I'm going to the gym on Friday, I've got a ton of them on the Ipod. I'm looking forward to hearing the mix.
