What music do you listen to while working out.

For me, Nine Inch Nails or hip hop. Both get my heart pumping.

Yeah i really enjoy hip hop while im running, i usually listen to RJD2 because hes a dj not a rap artist and so its much more focused on beats rather than lyrics. Aesop Rock and The Crystal Method both have CDs out for nike which id like to check out as im sure they have great beats that will keep me pumped up.

Hi, I started downloading & listening to Marina from Marinaonline.com.  Its not the music I would normally listen to but for working out its great.  And the instructions & encouragement she gives during the songs is a wonderful motivator.
Madonna and REM
Papa roach, dance music like goldfrapp, freddie le grand, Rooster

Rob Zombie for free-weight routine, classical for stretches, and watch DVDs (anything by Joss Whedon: Buffy, Angel and Firefly Episodes) while on the bike.

 

 

I love working out to NIN! But my MP3 player has a little bit of everything in it, for working out a lot of it is rock or grunge or something because I can hardly stand rap/hip-hop (except for maybe Black Eyed Peas).
I mostly listen to Rage at the Machine and Justin Timberlake, right now. Otherwise, usually hip hop or 80's music.
I have Sirius so I listen to Boombox 34 - high rpm and no commericals!! Ha!  It's really good and if a song is annoying me I Just skip it.  The hip hop remixes they do are usually better than the originals.  Heck yeah Madonna & NIN!

I use a variety.

Got me some Public Enemy and LL Cool J

Some Guns N Roses

Some Godsmack (love them)

Some Pearl Jam

Some Eminem.

 

I pick the songs that get me a little edgy.  Works for me!
