What music is on your workout mix tape/cd/mp3 group

[LynneSin]

I swear if I leave my mini-disc player at home I know I'm not working out at the gym. I need good jams in order to tolerate 90 minutes of absolute hell (well, trying to not treat exercise like that). And trust me, the crap they play over the loudspeaker is pathetic (unless you happen to be a teenybopper music fan).

So what is on your music workout collection? I have a sony minidisc (it's an MP3 player but with removable discs. I love the thing but it'll probably be replaced in the next year). I just made a new work-out disk that includes:

Alice in Chains
Nine Inch Nails
Audioslave
Linkin Park
Metallica
Green Day
Stone Temple Pilot
Smashing Pumpkins
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Cake
Beck
Marilyn Manson
The Killers
Public Enemy
Beastie Boys
Enimen
Kayne West


What's your favorite workout music?

[GOPisEvil]

1. I just hit "shuffle" on my iPod.

If a non-workout-type song comes up, I just jump to the next song. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

2. workout?

what is this 'workout' you speak of? :P

yes, laziness is my domain. :)

[GOPisEvil]

3. Grrrrrrrrr

Laziness is mine, too, but if I don't work out, I get fat(ter). x(

[bicentennial_baby]

6. i don't gain or lose

i always seem to weigh the same, regardless of how much or how little i consume. weird.

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

8. Grrrrrrrrr

Actually I've trained myself to eat a lot less, so when I was away from the gym for a year and a half (koff) I didn't put on TOO much weight. I did start resembling the pillsbury doughboy though. So, I'm working out again to at least firm up a little. ;)

[BiggJawn]

4. Techno dance and club music.

Thumpa-thumpa-thumpa-thumpa....

"Hey DEE-JAY! Gimme a PHAT BEAT!!!"

[progmom]

5. my workout playlist

[GOPisEvil]

9. Rumpofsteelskin?

Sounds like a porno movie. ;)

[progmom]

18. You must find yourself a copy of Parliament "Motor Booty Affair"

Rumpofsteelskin, he don't rust and he don't bend,
He's got dynamite sticks by the megatons in his butt

[GOPisEvil]

19. My funk collection is woefully inadequate.

I'm going to be making iTunes rich. :D

[Zuni]

22. My funk collection is mostly James Brown and various

Motown/Stax/Atlantic Soul stuff that crossed the bridge into funk, like 70s Temptations

[GOPisEvil]

24. I have some James Brown, and some George Clinton.

But I need some more. Sometimes I just gotta have the funk.

[LynneSin]

23. I should have put some Parliment on my mix

Want me to bring my Parliment and Ohio Players - that's a great start with Funk

[LynneSin]

10. WHERE'S YOUR LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!

Actually LZ isn't a favorite for working out. It's more of a mood elevator for me when I want to mellow out and enjoy life!!

[progmom]

11. heh.

i like my music to have soul. ;)

[LynneSin]

12. oh that hurts!!!

That pierces my soul with the deepest pain known

:cry:

[progmom]

14. ...

;)

[LynneSin]

15. You keep this up we won't invite you to the DC 'Road House' party

:eyes:

[progmom]

16. oh dear!

:P

[Zuni]

25. we'll have our own party

I'll take you and Mrs. G to georgetown Aquaducts, by the canal and the river, right next to the stairs from the movie "The Exorcist" and we can drink 40 oz bottles of malt Liquor while sitting over the Potomac, like me and my friends used to do back in the day

[LynneSin]

28. Nevermind Progmom - you know you're always welcomed

<<needs to save progmom from a massive hangover from cheap malt liquor>>>

[progmom]

29. hahaha - the only thing that seems to give me a hangover

...is champagne. :D

[LynneSin]

30. Mine is heinkein

or if I don't hydrate with enough water while I'm drinking. Dehyrdation is my enemy!!

[Zuni]

32. red wine does me

:hangover:

[Zuni]

21. Aretha and Etta James

possibly my two favorite all time female singers

I listened to an Aretha greatest hits of the 60s CD at the gym just a few days ago. I really rock out to stuff like "Chain of Fools"

[matcom]

[JimmyJazz]

31. Mine is really the weirdest: the Clash, the Chieftans, the Pogues and

some techno downloads from dolo amber! I know it sounds crazy, but bluegrass and Irish music make excellent work out music. I wouldn't recommend it for a treadmill, but for an elliptical, the Chieftans in Nashville is wonderful!

41. My only exercise is stationary bike and running

For the stationary bike, I watch soccer games I've downloaded from the internets. (One half a game is just over 45 minutes, a good length for a ride.)

While running, I want to be able to hear what's going on around me. It used to be the case that some guy would be practicing his bagpipes in the park while I ran. That's the closest I've had to a walkman while exercising.

[atomic-fly]

43. bagpipes are great to work out to!

[Telly Savalas]

44. Hell yeah.

On days where there was a mist, the bagpipe music and the sunbeams shining through the trees really made for a dreamlike environment. Experiences like that are why I run. The health benefits are secondary.

[GalleryGod]

45. Workout? What's That?

Climbing the steps from Dungeon Office (think Ainsley Hayes) to
circa 1945 bell tower lecture room...is enuff!:shrug:

[gollygee]

46. I work out to disco and 80s techno-pop

Erasure, Abba, that kind of thing
