Beast Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I really need a workout playlist for when I'm in the gym or running or something. Any suggestions, no matter how cheesy or not it is...
drahkon Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Hm, I don't really work out, but here are some tracks that I listen to while jogging:
Ashley Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Skrillex? I tend to listen to whatever I want to when I exercise rather than anything specific workout-ey. However, I tend to sing Woodkid's Run Boy Run when cycling if I'm in the mood for a bit of an adrenaline rush.
rizz Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I think something like this would get me going. Edited August 26, 2013 by rizz I can never get these YT tags to work :@
Paj! Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I slap on my faithful iTunes playlist called ++++PURE DANCE/REMIXES and let it shuffle. Lots of remixes from compilations I come across. Mostly generally fun/upbeat pop songs turned dance bangers. Of varying intensity. Like...the Young & Beautiful Mix would be good for stretching or something whereas others would be better for running. An excerpt: *not all these remixes are good, they're just clubby and appropriate.
arab_freak Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Create a playlist of several French House/French Electronica. Daft Punk, Justice, Breakbot, DJ Mehdi, Yuksek, things like that. I can't tell what it is that you'd like from these artists so I suggest you check out some tracks from each one and compile them. Daft Punk's Alive 2007 album is a very safe choice as well. Here's a playlist I recently made with tracks I'd enjoy dancing to. They're not as "heavy" as something you might see from the likes of Daft Punk or Skrillex but if it makes you want to pump iron then it's done its job. Edited August 26, 2013 by arab_freak
MindFreak Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Or anything else from Malrun. Try finding Trim the fat from them also, it's great.
Jon Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I don't understand how people can listen to 'dance' music whilst working out. The again it's probably because I detest that genre of music. Can't beat some hard rock when clanging some iron.
Josh64 Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Just for you, Animal. So you can imagine me beating you hard. EDIT: But in all seriousness, just get DDR Mario Mix. Mario is cheering you on all the way, man. Edited August 30, 2013 by Josh64

Can't beat some hard rock when clanging some iron. Because a major purpose of dance music is to make people want to move to a beat?
arab_freak Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I don't understand how people can listen to 'dance' music whilst working out. “Music is like is a legal drug for athletes,” says Costas Karageorghis, Ph.D., from London’s Brunel University School of Sport and Education, one of the world’s leading authorities on music and exercise. “It can reduce the perception of effort significantly and increase endurance by as much as 15 percent.” As a whole, that body of research further supports the notion that synchronous music tends to drive exercise intensity (i.e., the faster the beat, the higher the intensity). Researchers also clearly identified the effect of increased arousal related to the tempo of music, thereby making intense exercise seem less stressful. http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/805/
Jon Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Because a major purpose of dance music is to make people want to move to a beat? But it's painful to the earsssss. http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/805/ Fair enough, though I wouldn't really class hard rock/metal as slow.
Paj! Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Metal is more painful to mine. Different strokes!
Jimbob Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 No workout playlist should be complete without this number.
