music to exercise to?

[Grant]

Hi all, I was just wondering if you have any particular favorite CD that you listen to when you exercise. I'd like to be expanding my musical horizons while contracting my waistline.

Any thoughts?

The Grateful Dead always gets me going, so does "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones, and "Turn the Music UP" (not sure by who) - it generally seems to be the right combo of rythm and a good state of mind that works best for me; even the blues has been known to do the trick!

I like Tool and System of a Down and other angry music for a good cardio workout.

Dance and R'n'B for me. Dance music makes me happy cos its upbeat and reminds me of going clubbing which I love. At the moment I'm liking:

Akon - Smack That
Fedde La Grande - Put your hands up for Detroit
P Diddy - Come to me
Studio B - Cmon get it on
Michael Gray - Borderline

Re: music to exercise to?

definately depends on your taste in music, a country lover, rap or r & b, rock, heavy stuff blah blah...

I'm a music fanatic and singer so I tend to listen to a wide variety of music. I've also found its fun to listen to just backing tracks (karaoke basically - no vocals on the music) when exercising.

As funny as the disco era was, the music from that time is awesome for working out to! I like the backing tracks because the vocals don't distract you and all you hear is the beat - besides, you can try to sing along and see if you have enough breath left!! haha

I watch movies myself...but my friend listens to Techno while he exercises...says the beat is very good for it...

ACDC razors edge, Bob Seger greatest hits.

Re: music to exercise to?

Impossible to put on one CD unless it's from the 60's/70's when there were about 8+ good songs on an album.

These days I make a mix and burn it or listen to one of my Pandora stations....

VH1 runs music videos in the morning as well if you get it.

Hello, This is my first post. I am starting my second week of induction. I like to excercise to ZZ Top, and CCR.

Re: music to exercise to?

Sorry, what is CCR?

[ValidRouge]

Re: music to exercise to?

Credence Clearwater Revival??

I like ZZ Top too. La Grange just gets my legs moving at the end of a run when I'm tired.

[kboyce3971]

Re: music to exercise to?

Yes...CCR is Credence Clearwater Revival.
