What's your go-to workout playlist?

[simonjames86]

I do a lot of weights and circuits when I work out, and I'm always looking for good music that I won't be hitting 'next' on when it comes up on my ipod. I'd say right now my top ten are

1. Jessie J -- Domino
2. Cee-Lo Green -- Bright Lights Bigger City
3. Guns n' Roses -- Paradise City
4. The Eagles -- Life in the Fast Lane
5. Eric Clapton -- Cocaine
6. John Mayer -- Crossroads
7. Rihanna -- We Found Love
8. Major Lazer -- Keep It Goin' Louder
9. Maroon 5 -- Moves Like Jagger
10. Waka Waka -- Shakira

What music gets you going?

@simonjames86 Late to the party.
Does "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" from Mulan count? Because I rock that shit.

 

[aanda]

@simonjames86 I just usually listen to my top rated music, and when I get sick of that I listen to just some of my favourite bands, like all american rejects or jimmy eat world.

 

[bali]

@simonjames86 Caribou, Toro y Moi, and recently Grimes.

 

[walnutbookshelf]

@simonjames86 'Good Feeling' by Flo Rida is my most recent get-off-your-ass-and-move song

 

[dawn16]

@simonjames86 Queen, Queen, and more Queen. Something about jogging to Fat-Bottomed Girls makes me lol, and when is it more appropriate to listen to Bicycle Race than while riding a bike?

ETA: My typical all-Queen-all-the-time playlist looks like this:

1. Don't Stop Me Now
2. Fat-Bottomed Girls
3. Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy
4. Bicycle Race
5. Killer Queen
6. Under Pressure
7. You're My Best Friend
8. I Want It All
9. Somebody to Love

Working out is more fun when you're also rocking out, and it's just impossible for me to be angry or sad while listening to Queen.

@dawn16

Working out is more fun when you're also rocking out

I agree. Danger Zone and Eye of the Tiger are must haves for me.

 

[dawn16]

@blackwater YES. Eye of the Tiger is great too. I feel so badass when I'm out for a walk and that comes up on shuffle.

 

[macromonkey]

@kimos Sexy and I Know It is on EVERY one of my gym playlists. You're not alone in that guilty pleasure

 

[fredconk]

@simonjames86 Black Eyed Peas! Elephunk is still my favorite album, but their later stuff gets me going also.

 

[tinylilmin]

@simonjames86 I have stuff by The Faint, Metric, Mana, Cobra Starship, The Sounds, LMFAO, and Flo Rida on mine. Tons more that I can't think of at the moment, but I like having a long playlist so I don't get too tired of stuff.

 

[ashleyliz]

@simonjames86 I listen to a combination of EDM and alt rock (think passion pit, vampire weekend,etc.) but the one song that is on every workout playlist for me is Nine Inch Nails "Only"...so motivating.

 

[servitude]

@ashleyliz I feel that way about Survivalism by NIN. Another rousing workout track.

 

[elopez]

@simonjames86 When I run I usually listen to Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Passion Pit, some Ben Folds, MGMT, and French electro-pop (Yelle).

 

[levap]

@simonjames86 A State of Trance or Trance Around the World Podcast/broadcast are always my go to.
Download links from a huge trance broadcast:

Highly Recommend "John O'Callaghan" set of the "Beyond Wonderland San Bernandino" event

The mixtapes totally changed my workouts.

 

[idahotater]
