Mgn Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I am looking to expand my workout playlist, and I am sure many other people are too. I'm sure you have a song or two that really gets you going and in the zone.What are your favorite workout songs? Post a YouTube link if possible so others can check it out easily!

cob Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 well, this is certainly a matter of personal Taste!I find that Devil Theory by Jeff Loomis is a good one. It's instrumetal and it's pretty high octane!The Mirror by Dream Theater is another good one. A different kind of metal but, it gets the juices flowing and it's also a song about confronting yourself so, it works well.Basie by Tatsuya Takahashi and the Tokyo Union is also good! That one just makes me smile!300 Soundtrack? Smash Brothers Soundtrack? DBZ SOUNDTRACK? I think anything that you associate with high energy will be good. On top of that, anything you associate with badasses. I usually don't have a workout "playlist," I just have a bunch of hardcore metal that makes me want to get through it. RHYTHM!Okay okay, this is important.A song with a constant rhythm, that maintains a rigid tempo and isn't so free flowing, this is critical, IMO. It forces you to follow it's pace (unless i'm just messed up, being a musician and all) but, I do pushups to songs like that where the meter is constant (The mirror) and even the melody's pace doesn't shift at all. Very slightly. The point is, if the song's pace is constant, you will move at that pace. Combined with the motivation of the music for the workout, you will push your limits to an insane new degree Quote Level 3 Martial Monk, True Neutral STR: 6.5 | DEX: 6 | STA: 7 | CON: 9 | WIS: 8 | CHA: 6 My First Challenge Link to comment

Mgn Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I am open to ALL kinds of music! I am really not a picky person when it comes to music; I appreciate it all and am willing to give anything a go. I even listened to something odd called Tuvan throat singing at the suggestion of a friend once. It was... uh... interesting.Figured since I started this whole thing, I could chip in. Here are some essentials in my workout playlist. I expand the playlist often but these are some songs that I find are always present when I'm doing fast-paced workouts or weightlifting. When I do things like yoga, it's obviously much softer stuff. Manic Street Preachers -- "Bag Lady" The Strokes -- "What Ever Happened?"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urgI-CvtmCMThe Cool Kids -- "Black Mags"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGgD4XjPbPcKanye West ft. Dwele -- "Flashing Lights" (I'm totally aware how much of an ass Kanye is, lol. Also nsfw video.)Rammstein -- "Ich Tu Dir Weh"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU1wLryjuEwPink Floyd -- "One Slip"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eER7ppOcViIAlso check this guy out: Metal versions of your favorite nerdy songs! 1 Quote Mgn, level 1 Satyr adventurerSTR 2 | DEX 1STA 1 | CON 3WIS 5 | CHA 3"'I wanna be this, I wanna be that'... well then grab your f**king nuts and BE IT!"

Artinum Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 It's almost a cliche now to mention Young The Giant with "My Body".Two other songs I fight it hard to keep still to are the Divine Comedy's "Gin Soaked Boy" and the Bangles' "Walk Like An Egyptian". Cheesy, but what a tempo! Quote What happens when you play Final Fantasy VII with everyone called Cloud? It gets quite confusing... https://ff7crowdofclouds.wordpress.com/ Link to comment
Heidi Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I love Heidi Newfield's "What Am I Waiting For" on the album of the same name. In fact, the whole album is great.

PissedTrojan Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Let's go by Ne-Yo! It's not the music i usually listen to, but it's nice for my 5 minute run before workouts. And for the days when I feel lazy or weak: Granted, Murphy didn't run much, but damn this gets me out of the couch everytime. 1 Quote Link to comment
Buff Brogan Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Devil Driver's cover of "Sail" is pretty good. but i tend to like most things with double bass.been listening to a lot a LOT of behemoth and amon amarth lately. favorite songs to work out to are devil driver - end of the linewinds of plague - the great stone warqueen - don't stop me nowmastodon - the last baronPanterA - slaughtered, 5 minutes alonefear factory - zero signal, timelessness(usually used for a cool down)sepultura - roots bloody rootsmeatloaf - paradise by the dashboard lightsvolbeat - a broken man and the dawn and various others, but these tend to get the most out of me. 1 Quote LEVEL: 7 Furyan Ranger - Battle Log - in lieu of this challenge don't look back, we aren't going that way: Rebirth - Wrestlemania Dark Raider vs KZacher From Tartarus with Love - Wrath of the Furyan - it's a secret! - FIGHT! - You can go your own way - The Rational Gaze - Rise from Death to Knife this Beast(part 3-the agony) - Demonized(part 2) - By Demons Be Driven(part 1) - Link to comment
Oramac Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I am open to ALL kinds of music! It's very rare to find someone who says that and it's actually true. Mostly I listen to Metalcore. Pretty much anything by In This Moment, Killswitch Engage, or All That Remains works for me. Specifically, "Comanche" by ITM, "New Awakening" by KSE, and "Won't Go Quietly" by ATR. Also, virtually any Classic Rock like Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc. is great. 1 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
DDRoonieRoo Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I find that Devin Townsends album "Addicted" has a good mix of upbeat and heavy. Does a pretty good job for me. Mind you.. it seems to have lost a little oomph after the millionth time listening to it...but that may just be me.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqWJX1jS_c4 Quote **My Current 6 Week Challenge!!!** **My First 6 Week Challenge!!!** Link to comment
Prairie Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 The Black Keys' El Camino album is my favourite workout music. Only problem is that I get to dancing between sets, and it can be hard to refocus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbp7prjDf5Q Green Day's Dookie is another good one.

KelliDarling Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like music with no lyrics so I can focus on the beat. Right now I've been listening to a lot of Professor Kliq.

I think you just put the link text in as plain text on a line of its own. The twist is that you need to have a "proper" URL for it.

ContractSoldier Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Good Morning, Although I'm not sure what type of exercise regimen you are on, these few songs help me tremendously when I am running or finishing my last work set of lifting. "Whispers" By All that remains (Hardcore) "The Bleeding" by Five Finger Death Punch (Hardcore) "Under and Over It" by Five Finger Death Punch (Hardcore) "Above the Law" by Bad Meets Evil (Rap) "Stop Being Greedy" by DMX (Rap) Good luck and Godspeed! 2 Quote Ave Atque Vale! -The Soldier "Civilize the mind but make savage the body." - Chairman Mao"Self-respect is the fruit of discipline." - Abraham J.

Disil Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 This one always pumps me up and gets me excited and pushes me a little farther: Metallica - Ride the Lightning I love epic music and it always lifts my spirits and motivates me that little bit more than others: Two Steps From Hell - Protectors of the Earth, Heart of Courage In the same vain: Audiomachine - Guardians at the Gate From the soundtrack of the most recent Tomb Raider Game: Crossroads In my opinion one of the best complete albums of the last 10 years and perfect for any sort of workout, running especially: The Glitch Mob ~ Drink the Sea One of those songs. The title already states the direction, can't stop won't stop. I love this one: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop This one always gets me going: Kraddy - Android Porn The name once more fits the bill. Chorus pure motivation: Eminem - Survival If you want it LOUD: As I Lay Dying - Through Struggle, In Flames - Pinball Map, Dark Tranquility - Monochromatic Stains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrcGUwEemgIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU-ra1ffmTE And of course, can't miss this classic that'll always send shivers down my spine even when it's sunny and 90 degrees out: Requiem for a Dreamhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Kwf_nNmGI 3 Quote How about a glass of purgatory with a splash of heaven?

SugarRay Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 This song gets me pumped faster than anything. I love heavy-bag training whilst listening to this one. This one soundtrack is from the first anime that I ever watched. BEST song for running in the mornings, in my opinion. And this one is perfect for a warm-down, and even more perfect for a walk back home in the evening after training. It's just so chill and it gives me this warm, fuzzy feeling in my stomach after a hard workout.. =D 1 Quote SugarRay - Lycan - MonkLevel 4 - STR : 5 | DEX : 8 | STA : 3 | CON : 5 | WIS : 8 | CHA : 1 Challenges: No. 1 - No.2 - No.3 - No.3: SugarRay's Comeback Match.
