fitness music playlist
Good workout mix?
I’m looking to add a new playlist on my i-pod. What do you all have?
I’m asking the question here – because you all are obviously into fitness, whereas I had a lousy response in the music section.
Thanks!
Mostly intelligent dance tunes with a quick-steady beat but also lots of melodic touches here are a few:
1. Anything by Way Out West
2. Anything by BT
3. Anything by Oceanlab
4. Stonebridge – “Put Em High”
5. Anything by Sash!
6. Hybrid – “Finished Symphony”
7. Paul Van Dyk – Forbidden Fruits
8. Hillary Duff – Come Clean (very upbeat and not half as cheezy as you’d think)
9. Anything by Modjo
10. Anything by Edgewater or Joe Satriani’s older albums (actually rock not dance…but pleasingly energetic)
Also drum&bass music like Aphrodite works, but mostly only for very fast workouts.
More “Normal-high-energy” artists like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tower of Power, and Cyndi Laupier (sp.) will work…but they aren’t hyper enough to encourage you to break any records or, say, keep an 800+ calorie-per-hour pace.
I find about a 1-2 minute improvement in my 5k times when I have some nice, quick dance music to run to.
Workout music playlist! It’s rockin!
