Music For The Gym

[Speedy Claire]

I`m in need of a revamp for my gym playlist. I`m after something I can listen to whilst using the cardio stuff ie. something that`s gonna make me work fast and hard :smt026

I don`t like anything too heavy or garageyhousetechnogivemeaheadache kind of stuff and I have a varied taste in music so any suggestions would be welcome. To give you an idea of what I listen to some of the stuff on my current playlist includes:-

Alabama 3.......... Theme from the Soprano`s (Woke up this morning)
I Gotta Feeling.... Black Eyed Peas
Bodyrockers........ I like the way you move
Guns n` Roses..... Paradise City
Guns n` Roses..... Welcome to the jungle
Kings of Leon....... Sex is on fire
Madcon.............. Begging
Enter Sandman.... Metallica
Mumford & Sons... Cave
Room 5............... Make Love
Red Hot Chilli`s.... Give it away now

All suggestions appreciated, many thanks :smt026

Many thanks everyone, some good suggestions there and even just looking at the bands/singers reminds me of other stuff they`ve done which I`d like.

PS: I have to admit that Macho Man does have a nice beat to it... I`ll add it to the list Luke lol

When i trained...a long time ago i admit, i used to be int he gym for 1hr 15 mins. I had differetn playlists for each part of the workout. Started off with slowish warm up Tracks at around 90bpm, then for the cardio, 140-145bpm as you can get into a rhythm of 70 cycles pm then a bit slower for the weights.

Most of my stuff was dance orientated but nothing to heavy, some cheesy house etc. Hed Kandi stuff is ideal.

[Reeder]

What's this gym you speak of?

[Milky Bar Kid]

AC/DC stuff, Blink 182, Fallout Boy, some dance stuff, like Sash!.....will have a look later and list some of my playlist.

[Speedy Claire]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, will have a listen to all of it and see what I think, a few there I hadn`t thought about that will definitely go on the playlist.

Lou that is one song i`m going to give a wide birth lol

Stick Iron Maiden's Phantom of the Opera on there. Anyone old enough to remember the '80s Lucozade ad featuring Daley Thompson should have it on their gym playlist.
