Hi everyone, sometimes I have a hard time finding good work out songs for my ipod, so I wanted to ask:

What is that one song on your ipod that you love for working out? Is it the same for cardio vs strength training?

Thanks!
 
Fabolous - Breathe -

for cardio


T.I. - You dont know me - Weights for some reason I like angry songs for lifting.

My 2 faves if I had to pick em.
 
On my running mix lately one song I really like is:

Goldfrapp- Strict Machine

I think it's good for cardio :)

I totally have that image in my head now, lol!
 
Edco76 said Pantera and I would have to agree as I love Pantera.

But the album Meanderthal by Torche is the album I've been playing for cardio (5K runs on treadmill only) - don't really like to have music on for weights.

Try the song Grenades by Torche of you're looking for an example.

By the way, saw them live just the other night for the first time, really weird hearing the songs while not running my ass off :D

I'm so serious lol :smilielol5:

At 1st I was a little shy but then I was like hell it's no different than the people in the dance classes lol. When you are getting tired, it really helps give that extra push.

I don't have specific songs really...most of the stuff by Apocalyptica works, if you leave out the slow pieces, most of the Rammstein stuff, Evanescence (again, minus the slow ones), Alter Bridge, Linkin Park, some Kiss stuff...basically anything that has a fast rhythm. Also depends on what I do, and the mood I am in.
