The right kind of music can pump you up and help you through your workout. What songs/artists do you listen to when you're in the gym doing cardio workout (i.e. running)? Earlier I listened to:

Armin van Buuren - A State of Trance
DJ Tiesto - In Search of Sunrise
Prodigy - Poison (a lot of Prodigy in my playlist)
Chicane - Andromeda
Linkin Park - Shadow of the Day / What I've Done

What songs/artists do you have on your workout playlist?

There's an existing thread regarding this topic, I reckon.

Sorry, I searched for "workout playlist" and didn't see any thread discussing this...

My Playlist:
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
The beatles - TOO MANY TO MENTION

There's an existing thread regarding this topic, I reckon.

try this:

maybe the mods can just merge these 2.

i have a running playlist on my ipod, here's a few from the top of my head:

hump de bump - red hot chili peppers (a lot of their songs are good for running)
beautiful day -U2 (the best!)
virtual insanity - jamiroquai (good for starting/ending runs)
temptation - new order
must be dreaming - frou frou (good stuff)
move along - all american rejects
memory - sugarcult
fired up - funky green dogs
andromeda - chicane (i see you have this too)

try searching songs from the nike run albums, it's in itunes.

That's great, Trackshields! Thank you for this link!... it seems only a few have shared their playlist in that thread, time to update!... will try to listen to your list, hopefully it'll help me shed more pounds in time for summer! hahaha! Thanks again to TrackShields and omegalove.

fat of the land album of prodigy :)

I just play Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem, skipping the last track in the process.

Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen :p

these days i usually jog or run... so mine is a mix of dance and house to keep the tempo up...

daft punk - one more time
madonna - hung up
chicane - adromeda
chicane - from blue to green
weekend players - walking into the sun
planet funk - chase the sun
nalin kane - crusing remix
kaskade - never ending

cant remember what the rest are... i also play rock and rnb sometimes...
kanye west - stronger
stuff of timbaland and nelly furtado...
orson - tomorrow
foo fighters - best of you

mostly rock/alternative songs when I'm on the treadmill.

right now it's the Foo Fighters' album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. :)

for some reason.. i can run 20 mins straight with putumayo :)

The latest Kylie Minogue - X Mixed songs makes me wanna dance. =)

for workout music I recommend european dance music....

it's ALWAYS the best motivational tool for me...

.....and you don't have to tell anyone at the office if u just listen to it on the mp3 player at the gym....

.... here's a compilation series on itunes that I recommend:

This is the kind of thread I always end up discovering new music from.... it's the best thing about the "long tail" and music.... before u had to read in a magazine or hunt around in a record store to find something cool -- which made the choices always subject to the "gatekeeping" of editors and music store buyers and etc... -- which would lead inevitably to mediocrity and the prevalence of "poser music" -- i.e. stuff that you want to like because you think it's cool, not because you really like it. Music journalism especially creates high-profiles for really lame stuff, because journalists are always looking behind their backs, trying to profile something that they think in 2 years people will think they were cool for liking "way back when".... I GREATLY prefer the democratic nature of threads like these, where people simply list their tastes and you can just look something up on itunes or youtube and check it out for yourself....

MY PLAYLIST TODAY.....

David Guetta "Love Is Gone"
Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio"
Menace & Adam "Missile Test"

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a wierd crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Most of these I found at this itunes page -- http://www.electricfilebox.com/tracks

I normally don't have time for exercise but I walk to and from work every single day (around 10 blocks away). I'm just fascinated with Madonna's Hard Candy album. It makes me enjoy my walk all the more.

When I'm bringing Shuffle to gym, of course my playlist would be everything in my Shuffle, which are my top 240 most played songs in my iTunes.

When I'm bringing Nano, I play by the Album, whatever my trip maybe, as long as the songs are loud, which will make me forget that I'm running in a treadmill.

mostly rock/alternative songs when I'm on the treadmill.

right now it's the Foo Fighters' album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. :)


I like this album, also playing this when I'm on the treadmill... The first few songs will just make you run in the treadmill.. Erase!!!! Replace!!!! :D

would you dare sync this in your ipod? :cool:

I'm gonna "revive" this list because I'm looking for songs that I can workout to. Any more ideas? I am (re-)using an old playlist that I downloaded from Nike ages ago and run with it.
