View Full Version : Work-out music
I need to start working out soon but I've never been able to make a good go of it without decent backing music, which raises the question - what music would you reccommend?
So far I've got Relax and Two Tribes by FGTH and Def Leppard's Action....
anything by Queen or Meatloaf
Lemmy with the Ace of Spades? :D

Well it had to be me, or Nugg, or...................well, a lot of us with strange minds :disturbd: , sorry :p:
Just listen to music you like. If you don't like the song, then there isn't much point suggesting it.
The better songs to work out to are the faster paced ones... They tend to help the time pass quicker. Try and avoid the songs with long, slow intros... like Brick In The Wall...
I like anything with a good beat and melody where I can dance around, or more importantly do exercises in time with the music.
I'm a huge fan of progressive house music so do it to that.

In my case Brahms lullaby is appropriate

How about some of the Ministry Of Sound summer/Ibiza mix CDs? Fast enough rhythm for the workout, and the way the mixes evolve it won't feel like you're just moving to the same track for ever.
wat about some Fat boy slim:disturbd:
Yeah thats the good thing about mix Cd's, the music changes but you never stop. The beat just keeps you going..... and good mixes will get harder and faster towards the end so get you really working it.
I appreciate the suggestions so far but how about actual songs, as opposed to types/genres :)

Russ, this is a bit of a difficult question. I personally used to work out to 80's hip hop, some dancey pop music (black eyed peas, that sort of thing), some trance music (System F's out of the blue is particulary good), but that is my taste in music. I also used to work out to Queen, and some rock.
In fact I found anything with a heavy and moderately fast beat worked well.
What you listen to, however, depends on your taste.

Last time someone started a thread like this it got merged with the "What music are you listening to" thread...! :)
