Tired of Nicole’s repeated mixes, Eric’s overuse of poppy punk music, and Ryan’s complete dedication to The Sword?
Here’s your chance!
Post to comments 10-20 of your favorite workout songs. Go one step further and categorize them for metcons or lifting heavy stuff.
List title and artist:
“Luck be a Lady” – Marlon Brando
When in Rome – Nickle Creek
Make that “Nickel Creek”. Smoothy Song also a toe tapper…
Love Blueprint 3. Keep it coming.
Scanning through my iPhone, here’s what I got. These are basically from the same genre. But all are pretty fast-pace / high-energy songs, with yes, a hard rock/alternative edge – great for timed workouts, maxing out, etc (angry music – gets you pumped up, at least for me it works). Nothing too eccentric/original, most are fairly known/popular at one time. Alphabetically by band:
Beastie Boys – Sabotage
Buckcherry – Lit Up
Foo Fighters – All My Life
Godsmack – Whatever
Godsmack – Awake
Gravity Kills – Blame
KoRn – Got the Life
Marilyn Manson – The Beautiful People
Metallica – Fuel
Prodigy – Breathe
Queens of the Stone Age – Go with the Flow
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Can’t Stop
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Around the World
Rob Zombie – Dragula
Stone Temple Pilots – Sex Type Thing
Stone Temple Pilots – Crackerman
The Urge – Gettin’ Hectic
The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army
311 – Down
Beyonce- All My Single Ladies
Jay Z- Anything
Rage Against the Machine- Anything (for heavy lifting days or fast paced met-con)
Sly and the Family Stone- ANY and ALL!
