Thread: Health and Fitness Music

Do you any of you workout? If so what kind of music do you listen too? and what great trackers are out there to get that type of music.

Generally, songs with higher BPMs constitute as better workout music. The rest is up to you. Experiment with different genres, and if you don't care for instrumentals, make sure you choose tunes with positive, self-empowering lyrics. I like listening to Liam Finn, Daft Punk, Keane, and some Radiohead while exercising.

What.CD is the best for virtually any kind of music. Waffles.FM is also excellent, and STMusic isn't bad either.

Good luck on your search!

A song that really keeps me pumped up is Smashing the opponent from Infected mushroom,
it has to do with the suction kinda sound playing through the bassline.
Another nice song is Limp bizkit - Break stuff.

I listen to hip hop , rap and R&B, you can find some on what.cd and waffles probably

Favourite music genres are hip hop and reggae. Well, reggae is way too relaxed to listen while killing myself in the gym, therefore i go for hip hop. Mainly undergroup stuff, like Jedi Mind Tricks and Swollen Members. If i had to choose my favourite LP for workout... thats a hard one. Well, JMT, Servants in Heaver, Kings in Hell.

As for the tracker. Not a member of an music specialised trackers (yet ). So, IPT.

I can often be found leaping around/working out to The Pipettes first album - We Are The Pipettes. Kitch 50s-flavoured girl group stuff; not really the height of cool but, hey, makes me happy and keeps me going either way!

I don't work out as often as I used to. However I found techno and speed metal to be more to my liking as it really pumps me up.

In all honesty any genre will work for you provided it's one that you personally enjoy listening to anyways. Be it classical, techno, Britney Spears (Yuck) and so on.

ive found that dj irenes albums keep my adrenaline going. If your a runner and like hard house music, shes the way to go.

Weights training - podcasts of geeky stuff most of the time.
Running (especially on the treadmill for ages lol) - mostly just top 40 things so I don't know if that makes me bad or not :P I tend to agree though anything with a good BPM helps get me going and I'll typically fast forward past a slow song especially if I need a bit of a kick!
