This mixtape always gets me in the mood if I ever lack motivation. I don't listen to it when I'm working out, it's pre.

If you ain't got a dream, you ain't got nothing.

I only run really, but recently I've been feeling a lot of Static-X, that industrial heavy vibe gets me going and motivated, always excellent.

My gym playlist has all sorts! I've got like Avicii, Rizzle Kicks, Afrojack, Blink 182, Skrillex, Labrinth, Tinie Tempah, Nero and obviously Run-DMC - It's Like That :tongue:

But anything housey, DnB or dancey goes on there :smile:

Don't even listen to this band but for some reason the build up in this song helped me smash some leg presses. I find their cover of this to be much better than any of their other songs.

I am a little embarrassed to admit this but I actually bought the Rocky songs to listen too at the gym as they really motivate me. One of my favourite other songs I like to listen too is Freestyler, when that song comes on I always seem to get an extra boost of energy from nowhere. Do other people find listening to songs on the treadmill throws them out of sync? I listen to music everywhere in gym apart from when I am running on the treadmill.

Sometimes I feel like I have to be running in sync with the music, so yeah I know what you mean :tongue:

I just listen to the music I would listen to at home. I usually put on some metal-ish song (AINA, Ayeron, etc.) during the warm up. After that I just put on whatever I feel like putting on; as long as I enjoy the music, I don't need a constant beat to keep me going.

I've been listening to podcasts but sometimes it's a fight because they blast the radio so loud.

So I have an old ipod and just use it with itunes obv and have just labelled by workouts as follows: workout A, workout B, workout C and so on with just a few songs on each. Had to use alphabet as I couldn't put them as one, two etc and itunes automatically re-sorted them due to the alphabet order. I was curious, how do you arrange your music for workouts? Do you just use one big playlist or whatever or just choose artists?

HIIT:
One playlist on my phone. I choose whatever songs I like atm and put enough to fill my 30min workout.
My workout is: 5min warm up-20min HIIT-5min cool down so I choose the faster, more motivatings songs for the HIIT part.

Steady state:
Again, my favourite songs atm filling about 90min on my ipod and I put it on shuffle. (MY steady state workouts are meant to be 60min but I take so many breaks so it ends up being about 90min. :wink:

So I know most gyms play music to keep you going, but a lot of people just ignore it and use an mp3 with a set playlist.

What's on yours?

Pretty much any EDM

Recently been putting grind, sludge and hardcore in my workout playlist. It does wonders for motivation.
But I've found the more you work out, the less you rely on external motivation.
