What do you listen to when you work out?

[eber]

Personally, I've been listening to the Rocky IV soundtrack--it has got to be one of the most inspirational soundtracks...hehe. I especially like the training montage track--that one keeps me going when I am running.

Well anyway, what do you listen to? I'm looking for any suggestions--particularly stuff that can "pump *clap* me up" (SNL style... eh bad one) or motivate me more while I lift--the Rocky soundtrack doesn't quite cut it for that.

edit: Names of specific albums would be great too. I'm not really looking to make compilations.

i dont like to listen to music while i work out, disrupts my concentration.. but rocky was a great track to listen to when warming up for a game in high school

ed: had the greatest comeback, but cobalt edited it out

well if you're tired of the rocky classic 'eye of the tiger' then there's no hope for you.

i like rockin' out to "my generation," "the seeker," "pinball wizard," (all the who)

then there's "fool in the rain," "good times bad times," "ramble on" (zepplin)

and some pantera.

for some reason i find "crazy train" pumps me up too.

 

[Anubis]

work out???? WTF is that

 

[GoingUp]

the voice in my head telling me how much I hate running

I'll have to agree with this one. Can't get to the radio at the gym where I go. Fortunately, it's usually Classic Rock, which is the kind of stuff I listen to anyway.

As a little side note, I'm with eber on the Rocky soundtrack. In general at least. There are some songs, for some reason, that can just really get me going. Which ones they are seems to change from time to time though.

i don't work out.

 

[GroundZero]

but on a serious note...
old anthrax, megadeth, metallica, slayer, morphious, the accused, any good kick ass thrash pumping music works here

 

[eber]

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions...thrash metal stuff sounds good to me.

BTW, heard on the radio (Howard Stern show) a couple weeks ago that Daniel Day Lewis worked out (to get in shape for Gangs of New York) to the latest Eminem CD to pump up/motivate him while working out because of all the anger and whatnot in that CD.

When running at home I watch TV or listen to some kind of rock.

 

[BlueEyedBeezlebub]

i listen to what i listen to at home, industrial rock. mostly fear factory, but some static x, type o negative, black label society, stone sour, mudvayne, in flames, slayer.. and some new bands that rock, ones called Cinder with a tune called 'Soul Creation' and the other is a band called Ra. all mixed onto my mp3 player. mostly the stuff i grew up too tho.. try coal chamber 'Loco'.. gets ya pumped every time!!!!

if you are looking for the most brutal aggressive music, its Meshuggah for you. If you dont like heavy metal to much but like something with a punk rock spin on it try Mindless Self Indulgence, they are very good.

lol, but gotta get this damn hernia fixed before i get back into the gym tho!

 

[GroundZero]

for you cool down, i suggest some blues traveller or some brahms and/or betoven or bach..
something soothing wile you do your come downs...

 

[slikmunks]

i like to listen to eminem... the anger in his music... it psyches me up...

 

[UCDznutz]
