What's the best music for running or treadmilling it?  email this discussion to a friend?

I've got a few songs that keep the beat and help me to keep my pace.
"Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm
"Anger Rising" by Jerry Cantrell
"She Is Beautiful" by Andrew W.K.
"Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne
"The Distance" by CAKE
"Heavy" by Collective Soul
"Ten Thousand Fists" by Disturbed
"Monkey Wrench" by Foo Fighters
"Stand Alone" by Iced Earth

One that makes me laugh is when Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing" comes on, if its towards the end of the workout, I agree everytime he's sings the chorus.

Got anymore that will help me raise my fist while it raises my heartrate?

I prefer to have something that really gets the energy pumping
Korn is the most common band I listen to when i am working out
I also like 3 doors down, Godsmack, Creed, nickelback
and right now i am finding myself addicted to "Paralyzer" by finger eleven


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 204 out of 219 in music  4 years ago

I have all those bands discographies, but I'll have to give Finger Eleven a try. *Update* I pulled up F.E. myspace, cool music, iTunes will probably help debit my account a few bucks.

Did you listen to FE?
Did you like 'em?


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 204 out of 219 in music  4 years ago

I did, I also discovered a few other bands that sound similar. Thanks for the recommendation.

Just go old school and do a Rocky impersonation. Survivor's "Eye Of The Tiger". ^^


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 204 out of 219 in music  4 years ago

Or I could go with Bill Conti's theme for Rocky. Either way I'm gonna need to get an Italian accent and a grey sweat suit.

i dont run or treadmill but my wife does exercise and she uses the music that are techno. she always use 2unlimited songs. when i hear the words ARE YOU READY FOR THIS i know she is grooving and sweating har har har. i find that music also very encouraging to move and to sweat it out. i also hear some music with a slower beat and at the end of the exercise i can here umbrella i just cant remember now who sang that. har har har stupid me.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 204 out of 219 in music  4 years ago

2 Unlimited would surely get the blood pumping. I do have some Rob Base, how's that for old school. I do have some slow music for the cool down, I'll give it a shot.

any song that just makes you feel pumped. mostly 80s hair-band music hahaha. when we went to the weight room in gym class we used to listen to bands like poison and motley crue.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 204 out of 219 in music  4 years ago

For some reason that song "It's Raining Men!" Always makes me want to get up and dance and run and jump. I don't know why, but that song always seems to get me in a real good mood so it is a god song for me to work out to. I like the rhythm of it, and it is just very up beat and party like. I have no idea why I love it so much I just do. I also really like White Wedding by Billy Idol, and Black Cat by Janet Jackson, those songs always make me want to dance too.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 204 out of 219 in music  3 years ago

Good choices, I'll have to find Black Cat by JJ and cue it up.

thumbup I usually listen to Punk Rock.
New Found Glory and Rufio are my favorite though there a lot. They really pump me up and give me no reason to rest. They're absolutely perfect on the Treadmill especially when I am doing HIIT / High Intensity Interval Training. Rufio's version of Madonna's Like A Prayer is the bomb!


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 204 out of 219 in music  3 years ago

Thanks russso, I'll check them out on iTunes.
