What is your favorite music to work out to

My gym has sounds that are classic rock and I noticed they put up a request sheet so I wrote Motorhead: the chase is better than the catch, and Hawkwind: master of the universe.
Generally I don't bother with sounds, I just workout.

I love Lemmy! :loveu:



My favorite band is Avenged Sevenfold so I would like that and hard rock/progressive metal like that.

Years ago I used to walk/jog on my lunch hour and listen to music like that through what I think was Google music or whatever became YouTube music. That was how I even found A7X and also before I found Spotify.

Except now with limited time in the day, I don't do it with music. I work out watching the new episode of my soap opera, Days of Our Lives.

Watching being relative, hard to look if I'm doing something like planks or push-ups. :happy:

"Getting back into it"
Video game soundtracks. :LOL: The Assassin's Creed and Persona series are some of my favorites!
Same!!
I like the Mass Effect OSTs. They give me that Commander Shepherd feeling, that helps me push through hard sets

Alternitavely it's anything fun like Busted (90s Kid vibes!)

Gotta be Nine Inch Nails as my go to but I sprinkle in so various artist in the mix. "After Dark" and "Can You Feel My Heart" as cliche as it sounds are damn good workout songs. Mich Gordon with the Doom Eternal soundtrack makes me feel like that my bal*ls are made of steel, especially the eternal gains remix on YouTube.

"Hello"
I usually just go with my main playlist, which is a combination of rock and heavy metal. But sometimes if I am feeling pumped, I'll use this playlist! I made it for exercise.

I listen to what I have downloaded on my phone, specifically Nithwish, Lacrimosa, Slipknot. I'm not picky about what I listen to while exercising.

I only listen to it pre-gym, here's a selection of my go-tos to get pumped up:

the video starts off with an Orwell quote but heh, not everything can be good 🤷‍♂️ Highest energy band.
Ronnie Coleman sample at the end!

Lately I'm listening to Chase Atlantic and other artists I could pole dance to while I work out, but it's mostly Chase Atlantic.

I usually tend to listen to game or movie soundtracks that give me the “super strength” vibe. Like the modern Doom games albums, Altered Beast covers, the Masters of the Universe: Revelation ost...

"Doing Daily Exercise + Daily Workout"
Strangely enough i don't listen to music while doing my workout. Tried it, but was too much of a distraction.
I do listen to music on my daily walk though. Have a Eurobeat playlist that should last me about half a year without repeating itself. The high bpm gets me moving and the generally happy tone makes me feel good. I can then mentally take a backseat, focus on the music and let my body and subconscious just do the walk. It's what i call mobile meditation. Shutting off my brain as much as possible and just enjoy the moment.

"No Rain, no Flowers."
Basically a bunch of videogames OSTs, or heavy metal/EBM.
Sometimes to medieval/fantastic/viking/pagan inspired instrumental songs.




This one is particularly great for workouts that increase in difficulty as the time goes on.
Melinoe (the main character, a goddess) is also a great inspiration and is badass as hell.
