Workout Playlists

It's not a stupid idea. I'm too lazy to workout these days but your choices are cool - right noe I'm into rob zombie, rob dougan, and others found on the matrix soundtrack since they really have a great rocking groove.

This thread looks like it belongs in either Music explorations or General...

You're right about that one. :)

Let's see here. This is what I listen to:

Deftones
Finch
Linkin Park
Glassjaw
The Movielife

Pretty much anything Hard Rock. If you want to get a heart pumping workout, you have to take a listen to these bands.

What I would like to do is put together a workout playlist of songs at almost exactly the same tempo - really measure out the beats per minute. That way when I'm doing something like treadmill, I have a constant pace that will get me in the zone and maximize my workout.

I mostly listen to hard rock and some hip-hop. Linkin Park, Puddle of Mudd, Limp Bizkit, 50 Cent, some of Eminem's stuff... The hip-hop needs to have a good beat. Ludacris's "Roll Out" is a great example.

Any more suggestions?

Darude - Sandstorm

I have a lengthy version of this track and it includes moments of slow tempo and periods of fast, high tempo beats. This is great for natural rest persiods when you are exercising. Although listening to the same song for 5+ minutes can be a little tedious.

i think the rocky sound track is good for a workout gets u goin?
