easyguy Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 What kinds of music do you like to listen to when you are exercising/working out? Of course techno works by default, but recently I have found that traditional Moroccan music does wonders. Everything in it has a strong rhythmic pulse... and even though there is often chanting and singing in Arabic (which I don't know a word of), it's awesome to have on while you're exercising for long periods of time. Just imagine yourself walking accross North Africa and the sweat pouring down your face from the 110 degree heat. Link to comment
Portage Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I love all retro music. U2 being my fav Link to comment
Mrs Elliott Smith Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I listen to all kinds of middle-eastern / N. African -type music. But my focus is more on Arabic music than the N. African. Only N. African musician I like is Cheb Mami (he's Algerian, so his songs are a mixture of Arabic and French). But yes, all that kinda music is AWESOME. I usually buy the CDs that have mixes of songs on them, like "Now That's What I Call Arabia," and "The Best Arabian Album." Look into Amr Diab, his songs are cool. Link to comment
Boughs Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 djriver. link removed (go under mixes, and I love the house stuff when working out, the Ambient stuff is AWESOME for when you are about to go to bed) Link to comment
NyGentleman Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Anything from the Rocky soundtrack is great, also any techno/trance u cant go wrong with, ...Some 80s even work..Danger Zone, Take me home tonight etc.. If you do searches you can find tons of work out music lists.... just my 2cents... PS-The djriver stuff is great, good find!!! Link to comment
TiredMan Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I mix it up. It's all different too... 1) Metalllica, GNR bunch of bands like that. 2) Dance music 3) Old 80's music. 4) newer rock like Godsmack, NIN, Papa Roach etc.. Probably more but whatever gets the blood pumping. Link to comment
confused25 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I HAVE to listen to something upbeat and fast like dance or techno music to get me pumpin'! Link to comment

quirky Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Pop and R&B and bjork's first cd "debut" Link to comment
itsallgrand Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'll have to give that a go. I like to use visualizations too while working out. Strong rhythmic pulse is good. I usually listen to Indian remixes but anything that makes me want to move is good. Link to comment
woahisme13 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 pantera, old slipknot, glassjaw.... anything heavy, groovy, and extremely pissed off. THe stuff that makes you want to throw the entire stack through the ceiling. Link to comment
viajera Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Like others have said, anything with a good beat. My workout mix on my iPod includes a lot of techno (esp. Darude), some Middle Eastern (Cheb Khaled), some Indian/Bollywood, a lot of Latin (salsa, merengue), some dancier reggae, and some 90s grunge rock (Screaming Trees, Smashing Pumpkins, etc).

sidehop Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Darude! Classic... For cardio I need something fast like trance or any beats that are not slow. Working out, something more aggressive like hip hop or metal. When I ride it's usually mixture of vocal trance, some hip hop, metal, eurobeat, DnB and whatever I feel like listening to that day.

veneratio Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 hardcore..angry stuff. Nothing like AFB when you're struggling to push out reps. Also some good hip hop. Link to comment

whes Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Led Zep, Audioslave, chili peppers -- anything with a solid beat. Link to comment
Sky-Cherries Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Pink, Miley Cyrus, The * * * * * Cat Dolls.. It makes me mad how disgusting their voices and lyrics are, so it pumps me full of adrenaline. Then I go home, put on Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Meatloaf or Chuck Berry and relax with some real talent. Link to comment
GoneCrazy Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Techno/Trance... And rock/heavy metal Link to comment
ur02111222 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I listen to podcasts usually like Ask Leigh, The Fit Cast, and I subscribed to a podcast to work on my French. If I listen to regular music, I listen to lots of pop music, especially Britney Spears. It's my favorite. Sometimes I will listen to classical music since it's calming. Link to comment
