What music do you listen to during a work out. For me its batman dark knight and Markham city. Also metal gear solid and God of war and skyrim. Oh and of course guile and ryus stage music. I know it sounds cheesy but to me there's nothing like finishing a wod and having the dark knight come on.

I generally listen to really strange music while I work out. I like the post-hardcore, screaming music that seems to keep me motivated. When I run, I always listen to a song called "End of the World Party," sometimes more than once.

Initially, when I first started working out, I'd listen to pop & rap-- whatever junk was at the top of the billboards. Which worked fine; the heavy amount of bass and upbeat-ness sort of pumped me up. haha. Eventually, though, I found that I liked listening to dubstep, techno and trance while working out more. Because your mind is not confined to the lyrics in the song (like it is with pop), just the crazy beat, I find it allows your thoughts to wander more. Which, at least for me, helps to get through the workout.

If you want an example, I love this one (and if you own[ed] an N64, I'm sure you will too haha):

[Caution]

I listen to a bunch of random stuff but it all pumps me up. Most of it is Nu Metal but I also throw in a bunch of video game remixes from http://ocremix.org/ , rock, some rap and other miscellaneous stuff. Anything that keeps me going to give that last rep my all.

Lefeux -- Very good choice of music there. We share the same taste in workout jams.

[shoobie]

I am very eclectic when it comes to music. But some bands i do enjoy listening to while doing my exercises are: Shinedown, Skillet, SIXX AM, Drowning Pool, Halestorm, Three Days Grace, Sick Puppies, System of a Down and so on...

[Kishi]

I set my Pandora stations to Trance, Killswitch Engage, and Two Steps From Hell, and just let the tunes roll...

[Mad Rocker]

Podcasts can be good for cardio.

But other than that, metal. Has to be metal.

Machine Head, Metallica, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Black Stone Cherry, Avenged Sevenfold and Ozzy are on my current playlist. I rarely listen to metal at any other time now, it's like my treat for working out.

[Warwolf]

When I wrestled in High School, I'd listen to nothing but Disturbed, Rage Against the Machine, Linkin Park, and Slipknot for like 3 months at a time. I just recently got into The Glitch Mob (they do the music on GoPro commercials). They're kinda crunchy electronic music with full, drum-heavy, driving rhythms. I like to get in a tribal warrior kind of mindset when I work out, and they sample a lot of taiko drums so it gets me in the zone.

I mellowed out a bit since high school (now that I'm not working out to beat people up) but it's either Glitch Mob, or metal \m/

[blindasutsutsu]

I just find my metal artist of the day as I call them and put it on shuffle. Gyming it for about 8 months just about ready to restart the metal rotation! :-)

[Animalben]

Angry, agressive, deep stomach churning music while lifting heavy heavy shit.

Upbeat, high tempo, uplifting for high intensity cardio

Podcasts for long/low tempo style cardio

Also for any "classes" I find something authentic helps you get in the mood, for instance hearing Thai music in a Muay Thai class is awesome

[Thilde]

A lot of different things. Deadmau5 for when I want some of something gritty (without lyrics though...I don't like lyrics with that style of music). Muse's "Uprising" is a song that gets me through some tough workout moments...helps to envision every person who ever said my workout/diet is stupid or pointless or "not supported by conventional wisdom" and let the bass roll over me. Good for holding a plank.

Or, mixes of things like Michael Jackson, K'Naan, Will Smith, Crash Test Dummies, the Cranberries, Mick Jagger, etc. We have this awesome program called MusicIP Mixer...it lets you pick a track and then "mix" a playlist of songs that are very similar. I love that it lets me get songs with similar tempo and beat. My two favorite mixes are based on K'Naan songs: "Bang Bang (She Shot Me)" and "T.I.A."

This week I did my longest plank ever (72secs) followed immediately by 80 jacks to MJ's "Thriller." Some songs just really push you past where you think your limit is.

Quite a few things but Gerudo Valley and the Imperial March are among them
