December 20th, 2006 at 12:06 pmI’m a big fan of Crystal Method for running (although ironically not the Nike iPod mix which is about as inspiring as a metronome). Some faves:
Name of the Game
December 20th, 2006 at 1:55 pmOver the Line
Roll It Up
High Roller
Keep Hope Alive
My favorite workout song is Conviction of the Heart by Kenny Loggins. Talk about motivation:
“One with the earth, with the sky
December 20th, 2006 at 4:02 pmOne with everything in life
I believe we’ll survive
If we only try…”
favorite workout songs…
depends on the workout.
a hard paced work-out would include the following:
metallica: call of the ktulu
rage against the machine: take the power back
metallica: ride the lighting
kmfdm: craze
rage against the machine: freedom
metallica: seek and destroy
van halen: hot for teacher
a lighter workout usually goes to a jazzy compilation. maybe some latin or some salt peanuts (Dizzy).. depends on the mood. either way that’s some cool gear you’re giving away. thanks!

December 20th, 2006 at 5:48 pmLike some others have said, my favorite workout songs depend on the mood that I’m in. I either go for club music (house) or hard rock, both which do a great job getting my adrenaline pumping.
As for the club songs - anything from Benny Benassi or the Benassi Bros gets me going. A few in particular are: Born to be Alive, Turn Me Up, Rocket in the Sky, California Dreamin, and Somebody’s Watchin Me. Also, the World is Mine by David Guetta is nuts!
And the rock - My all-time favorite pump-up song is Enter Sandman by Metallica. Another one of their songs, Fuel, is up there as well. I also max out my workouts with Breaking the Habit and Crawling by Linkin Park, Killing in the Name Of by Rage Against the Machine, Thunderstruck by AC/DC, and Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses.
December 20th, 2006 at 6:11 pmAnything by Ministry, if I need a little motivation to get my arse moving.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:55 pmThe Doors - Light My Fire (great solo in the middle)
December 20th, 2006 at 10:23 pmMy favorite workout songs are,
Eye of the Tiger-Survivor & Gonna Fly Now-Bill Conti
December 20th, 2006 at 11:28 pmMy best workout songs:
Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
December 21st, 2006 at 12:31 amU2 - Mysterious Ways
“let it Rain” by Eric Clapton kicks my running engine into overdrive.
December 21st, 2006 at 12:56 amNothing better than Layla - the live, extended version - listen to that guitar wail . .
December 21st, 2006 at 5:18 amHow about “Enter Sandman” by Metallica — Every time Mariano Rivera comes in from the Yankees bullpen that songs comes on blaring - and all I want to do is get up and run. it is the ultimate pump-up song
December 21st, 2006 at 5:19 amThough it will sound prissy, I do feel the need to observe that for safety reasons I do not believe it’s advisable to listen to an iPod while running outside! However for indoor treadmill/elliptical/ARC-type workouts, these are some songs that always get me feeling more energetic:
Blondie, “Heart of Glass”
December 21st, 2006 at 8:30 amBrand New Heavies, “Dream on Dreamer”
Manu Chao, “Je ne t’aime plus”
Prince, “Alphabet Street”
The Roots, “Adrenaline”

I have to have a balance of fast and moderate tempo otherwise I ruin my running pace.

December 25th, 2006 at 5:32 pmI don’t have any workout songs! I’ve never tried listening to music during a run. Don’t even own a Walkman, much less an iPod.
However, if I were going to pick some songs that pick me up and put me in the mood to go for it, it would be an odd mix indeed: “R-E-S-P-E-C-T”, “This One’s for the Girls,” “You’re Just What I Needed,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and any of the up-tempo songs from BRUCE’S “Seeger Sessions” albums — “Old Dan Tucker,” “John Henry,” and those other foot-stompin’ ballads.
You wouldn’t want me to DJ a party. :)
December 26th, 2006 at 9:26 amGreat songs for a good workout..
The Zoo — Scorpions, Suburbia — Pet Shop Boys.
December 26th, 2006 at 6:13 pmI think the Nike Ipod sportskit was an excellent idea, it should have been created a long time ago.
