For the last three weeks1, I’ve been working out 4 days a week2 (brief pause while I give myself a self-congratulatory pat on the back). I’m back to playing volleyball three times a week and my shoulder was starting to get sore from the combination of too much activity and me getting soft. π The solution, get stronger.
While woing my little workout, I hook up my iPod to the little stereo in there using the Kensington Stereo Dock for iPod3. It works quite nicely.
I created a smart playlist of songs I’d rated 4 or 5 stars and songs that were in my ‘Allegro’ playlist, however that doesn’t end up being enough songs4 and I’m getting a bit of repetition. Hence the question:
What are some good “workout songs”?
Please post recommendations in the comments and I’ll happily drop a few bucks at the iTunes music store. The more I can do to make the working experience good, the longer I’m going to be able to keep this up. π
One other note, the Denver Craig’s List has way more workout equipment listed for sale than it does technology toys.
- Since the workout room has been complete in the basement. [back]
- I pulled the nordic track out of storage this weekend, so I’m going to try using that on the off days from lifting. [back]
- Which can be controlled by a Harmony remote – pretty cool. [back]
- I tend towards more mellow tunes and have only started building the Allegro list – why can’t I tag songs in iTunes? [back]
Physical – Olivia Newton John (I know it is a personal favorite of yours)
Eye of the tiger – Survivor
Sunshine Day – The Brady Bunch
YMCA – The Village People
and nothing says “I am ready to work and get sweaty” than anything by James Taylor
I know you keep all these songs on your “hidden” playlist.
I knew I could count on you Bill! π
You can, in effect, tag songs in itunes. Add tags to the comment field, and then you can make a smart playlist for certain terms in the comments. Not the easiest, but possible.
Yeah, that’s the same work-around I tell people for my Tasks and Photos software, but it’s not the “right” solution. π
Simple Plan – Me against the world
It’s punk rock, but you might like it if you’re up for an Eye-of-the-Tiger style workout.
I ‘tag’ songs by putting them in playlists. “Explicit”, “Driving”, etc.
U2 – Vertigo
U2 – Elevation
The entire Metallica black album
Snap – The Power (Original Single/Dub Mix)
Snap – Rhythm Is A Dancer (12′ mix)
C+C Rhythm Factory – Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)
Haddaway – What Is Love (regular or Radio Edit)
Black Box – Everybody Everybody
Black Box – Strike It Up
The Real McCoy – Another Night
Corona – The Rhythm Of The Night
La Bouche – Sweet Dreams
Janet Jackson – Together Again
No Mercy – Where Do You Go
Don’t know if my taste is too cheesy for ya. Have fun. π (some of these songs can not be found through iTunes, but can be previewed through Amazon / CDNow.)

Gotta be heavy, surprised only 1 person has mentioned In Flames at this point, personal favorite of mine is My Sweet Shadow, but in general their music is perfect for lifting, it has lulls where you can clear your head, think about your lift and only your lift, gather up energy, and then big bursts of angry spots for good intense sets.

I like workout music CDs that have a constant tempo. I prefer rock music, the harder the better, but that’s hard to find in workout CD format.
yea, for workout music, you basically need hard-hitting euro-dance music…. nothing else does the job really. Search around on iTunes for “euro club hits” or check this link:

my favorite workout — mostly underground techno stuff…. not easy to find necessarily…..
Thomas Falke “Revolution On The Dance Floor”
Groove Cutter “My Shooter”
Control One “Just A Little Bit”
Ian Carey “Redlight”
Kevin Weg “Dead Radio”
guys.. just because you put all your favorites on your ipod to work out doesnt mean they are good workout songs.. i mean come on..

I think it’s funny people have used this thread to display all their favourite music INSTEAD OF WORKOUT music.
I mean c’mon people… who the hell are you fooling? Just because YOU like it doesn’t mean it’s good WORKOUT music.
For running, just download some marine corps cadences. For pumping iron… the Rocky soundtracks are perfectly suitable.
Public Enemy- Bring the Noise
Pantera- Slaughtered
Linkin Park- Bleed it out
Beastie Boys- An open letter to NYC
Disturbed- Down with the sickness
Rob Dougan- Clubbed to death
Dimmu Borgir- Progenies of the great apocalypse
Korn- Freak on a leash
People in Planes- Pretty buildings
Cake- The distance
Dropkick Murphys- Im shipping up to Boston
The Casualties- On the front line
Saves The Day- Sonic Reducer (Dead boys cover)
7 Seconds- Were gonna fight
That music just makes me wanna keep going and going and makes me wicked pumped up. I highly recommend it.

I tend to like dance/pop, techno, and songs with motivational lyrics for working out. I’ve spent hours on Itunes looking for music with the right beat, so thought I would share.
Some that are good for cardio:
Everybody’s Free by Rozalla
Are You Ready to Fly by Jason Nevins with Rozalla
Dirrty (Tracey Young Radio dance vault mix) by Christina Aguilera
Beautiful (Peter Rauhofer Radio Edit) by Christina Aguilera
Naughty Girl (Calderone Quayle Club Mix) by Beyonce

Stronger by Britney Spears
Move Any Mountain by The Shamen
Scandalous (Stargate Radio Mix) by Mis-Teeq

Survivor by Destiny’s Child

You Can Walk on Water by DJ Encore
Point of No Return by DJ Encore
It’s Raining Men by the Weather Girls
Turn the Beat Around by Gloria Estefan
I’m a Slave 4 U (Dave Aude Slave Driver Mix) by Britney Spears… many of the “B in the Mix” songs are good for working out if you like pop music. I’m not a huge Spears fan outside working out, but find her remixes great for the treadmill.
Motivational:
Proud by Richard Niles (the theme song to The Biggest Loser)
Greatest Love of all (Remix) by Whitney Houston … Itunes has a technoish remix that makes this a fast pace, feel good song
Rainbow Connection by Draw Tippy… takes this classic childhood song and makes it up tempo
