I have recently been putting together a "workout" playlist on my iPod and I thought it would be fun to get a few other's FAVORITE "workout" song. I think the secret to a good workout starts with music. ;)

My genre will probably differ from most, but my #1 workout song is a 3-way tie (I know... BORING) If I had to rank them, they would be as follows:

Till I collapse - Eminem
Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria
I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphy's

I am willing to add a new #1 and I am openminded.

Humble me. :D

I like to run to the Squirell Nut Zippers and the Cherry Poppin' Daddy's. - I throw some of their songs throughout my playlist cause they kinda perk me back up when I start to lag.. I always imagine that I'm swinging instead of running... Luckily I haven't swung myself off the treadmill yet. ;) hehe.

I could use some new stuff too though.. :)

KUDOS!! Welcome Home is a great work out song!!!

I tend to listen to a lot of MushroomHead, Staind, Static-X and Pantera when I work out.

Cowboys from Hell from Pantera would have to be one of my Fav. workout albums...as well as Dysfunction from Staind

It is funny that you mention that. When I run on the treadmill, I listen to music... but herein lies the problem. I'm not sure why I do it, but my footsteps will begin to match the beat of the song that I am listening to. The fast songs have me running off the front of the treadmill and the slow ones have me falling off the back... which luckily I have not done yet either.

I will have to look up the Squirell Nut Zippers and the Cherry Poppin' Daddy's. Their names' certainly sound upbeat. :D

kinda funny you mention swing. I just put a few Brian Setzer songs on my play list.

lol yeah I do the same thing! I try to have slower stuff in the begenning and end but I like to run to Metalica, G & R, Stevie Ray Vaughn... anything to keep me going. Otherwise, forget it.. :)

OoOoh Really... I see you have good taste.. :)
hehe

Another fun band to listen to is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They are a punk band that covers a lot of popular songs. If you are on iTunes check out their album Have A Ball. It's very upbeat to listen too. Trust me on this.

I've scoured the internet for those types of songs! It might sound "silly" but, I love the 90's club hits for when I'm trying to exercise. (La Bouche, Amber, C+C Music Factory, Right Said Fred, The Funky Bunch) Also, SKA really gets me going- Rx Bandits especially (Letters To Cleo, No Doubt, Less Than Jake) Things like that... I'm pretty eclectic in my music, hey I even like britney spears!!

Also I'm gonna agree with the above poster - me first and the gimme gimmes ROCK!

I love their version of the Eagles Desperado!!
