What sort of music do you guys work out to? More specifically weight sessions, I usually find music helps fuel how much I work out..but want to know of more bands and genres as I'm about to update my iPod smile

Thanks everyone

Anything with a good beat! Sometimes I like to listen to dance music (shamefully....only for cardio), for weights I prefer more rockier music, papa roach is pretty good, sometimes paramore, even sort of 'indie' bands..like the verve, oasis, arctic monkeys, libertines...

Browse youtube or last fm

It all depends on w ho you are as a person. No one here can TRULY recommend a music genre that will work for you since everyone's taste's is different.

For me, I like music without much lyrics such as BREAKBEATS/TECHNO/TRANCE since it's very KINETIC


LOL


But you should know what you like, electronica is great for motivation with working out.

- sum 41
- acdc
- some rap/hip hop like kanye, notorious BIG, busta ryhmes
- some techno remixes, like paul oakenfold, ian carey, freemasons etc

I've a few workout albums I bought on iTunes but they're a bit mainstream and I prefer to pick and choose what I listen to for different parts of the workout, but the cool down songs on the album are top notch.

Great idea! If listening to music is not only fun but helps improve fitness levels,why not? I suggest you start with slow to fast music, that way... when you seem tempted to get off but the music is upbeat, it might help you forget your working out longer because you try to keep up with the music. I hope that helps. thumbs up

When doing exercises its better to listen to upbeat music like techno, r&b;and pop. If your gym doesnt have that kind of music its better to have a ipod while doing exercises. bouncy smile

Yes upbeat music is much better to listen when exercising. I prefer 80's dance music.

Interesting... I use different playlists for different workout sessions. You can actually buy a CD (for example, cardio mix) online.

The 80’s era music is also good for working out. The most popular music then is “lets get physical”. Surely, you will be pumping more exercises with this song.

Music is a key to weight training or exercises. This will keep you from being bored plus it also pumps up your adrenaline.
