Post your workout playlist!

[Tripper11]

Having begun my long journey again and as in the past I always had a walkman/discman and now mp3 player to help "distract" me from the pain!
Now with our little mp3 player I can really have some fun with tunes to work out by. This is only for my cardio workout...tunes will be added when I add weights to my program and workout length due to said weights.
So, without further ado....

Genesis w/ Peter Gabriel - Carpet Crawlers (stretches and warm up)
Robert Randolph and The Family Band - Smile
The Promise - When In Rome
Howard Jones - Everlasting Love
Ray Charles - The Mess Around (now I'm getting a good bead going)
Tower of Power - What Is Hip
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Sweet - Fox On The Run
Styx - Fooling Yourself (begin slow cool down)
The Spoons(old Canadian new wave band) - Nova Heart
The Chieftains w/ Van Morrison - Have I Told You Lately (cool down/ stretches)

Approx running time - 35min.

Call it eclectic, call it crazy, whatever, but it keeps my mind busy and helps keep me motivated.

So what is on your workout playlist?

1. A lot of electronic and hip-hop.

I put mine on shuffle and go. If something isn't working for me, I hit the next button. If I get tired of a song, I kick it out of the playlist and find something new. So the list is always evolving. When I am ready to cool down, I switch playlists.

My MP3 player is like my third child (well maybe my 5th if you count the dogs, too). I love it soooo much. I do need to get new ear phones. The ipod ear buds fall out when I run. :(

2. Just the rhythm of my life processes

Actually, I don't have a discman or an mp3 player. I know, I need to step into the 21st century. :)

I workout at the YMCA and in the weight room they have a local pop rock station playing over the intercom. But I've found that I get into my workouts so much that I don't even notice the music. I do my walks around a track suspended above a baskwetball court. There is no music piped into there.

3. I don't have one either

I concentrate on my breathing, and on my running form, or I say "Hail Mary"s.

4. A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed.

Carpet Crawlers is the BEST!!!

Anyway, I never listen to anything so I can concentrate on being irritated by the gym's selection - mostly Clash, Go-Gos, Britiney clones, etc. You get an occasional good day with Cars, Peter Gabriel and a Genesis (Collins) song or two.

I should probably come up with something for when I get too irritated. Hmmmmm...

I have a purist friend who I take all my tips from, and he was always a NEVER listen to music kinda guy so he could focus on what he was doing, but in the end he too succumed to the iPod deal and seems to be much happier now.

6. When I work out indoors

I love to listen to electronic bands like Orbital or Prodigy. Excellent workout rhythms and music that can be both minimalistic and cerebral. Great for helping you forget that you're breathing hard and dumping sweat. :)

Neo-prog is good too. Stuff like Dream Theater or Spock's Beard that is mostly heavy and uptempo.

8. I like it hard and fast, with a big scoop of nonsense.

My MP3 is loaded (right now) with a big dose of Limp Bizkit, a touch of Korn, 1 from Motorhead ("The Game"), a pinch of Green Day and a dash of Rage Against the Machine. I'll update this weekend with a deluge of Rise Against with a sprinkle of Nine Inch Nails and/or Stabbing Westward.

Call me a freak. I like it.

9. Podcasts, Electronica, Punk for cardio; more mellow for weights.

Shuffle is my friend when it comes to music, but I'm finding I'm using the time to listen to podcasts I wouldn't normally have time to listen to. I'm working my way through the archives of SexGeeks right now; I just finished listening to the archives of EatFeed, and next is probably Universe Today. My night workout (20 minutes on the cycle or the treadmill with weights and 20 minutes of PM yoga or pilates) is always done to Democracy Now, either DVR-ed or podcasted. (I'm moving machines around trying to get one room to be a home workout room.)

I also use audiobooks. Lotsa mind-candy as well as high-fiber roughage out there on audio. As long as I avoid the best sellers' list, I seem to be happy. (Why is it that publishers get the crappiest voice talent for books that they know are going to sell a lot on Audio???)

Weights.... one of my favorites is Boom-Boom-ba by Metisse (from the Dead Like Me soundtrack). Others on that playlist are: Pavement Cracks, Annie Lennox, some Paul Simon, Everlast, Coldplay, Carly Simon, U2....
