Workout music and headphones

[This is Seth]

jdanger's playlist looks almost exactly like mine. Sometimes it depends on what my routine is though, I might stray from the heavier stuff to something a bit more musically inclined like Muse or WolfMother.

As for headphones, I'm still looking for a good pair that won't fall out or die from too much ear sweat. I actually killed my headset ear phones that came with my phone by sweating directly onto the mic. Woops...

For music while running, I need to listen to music with a decent pace and lyrics. Actually listening to the words of a song is a great distraction.

As for the headphones, you can get sport ones that actually hang over your ear so as not to fall off. Super important though, make sure to get one with different sized earpieces (the squishy part that actually goes into your ear). Works way better.

Nothing on purpose. The robo gym music is playing of course (though 1 Y I used had a "bring you own music" policy which was great). I like to lift to the sound of rattling plates, thumping dumpbells and groaning lifters. Skip the music.

Personally, I listen to Drum and Bass for running almost exlusively. Have a few hour long mix sets from the internet that i cycle through so i don't run to the exact same mix every time. 170-180 bpm is supposedly the best tempo to run to according to several different sources including runners world. mixes include tracks from lots of different artists, but for someone not into dnb to begin with i'd reccomend starting off with stuff from Pendulum. good group to ease your way over from typical rock/pop into the electronic scene.

For lifting, just about anything hard/heavy/aggressive. have a huge assortment of metal, alternative, rap, dubstep, and various other stuff on my droid's sd card, and just put it on random. if a song doesn't "work" for the workout, skip to the next and keep on lifting.
