Hilarious and pointed
- The Kinks have some of the greatest 'workout' tunes ever! Listen to the lyrics of 'Superman' and 'Maximum Consumption'. The rest of 'Everybody's in Show Biz' keeps me going, and going, and going...

lp
- hybrid theory by linkin park for lifting and all of anberlin's albums for jogs -- also, i've found that the rhythm of coldplay's music is very, very steady and helps for longer distance runs.

- Training my taekwondo tournament team, ages 10-45, I utilize music in warm-ups: static and dynamic stretching, sprints, target kicking, low hurdles and plyometrics. My primary purpose is to promote rhythm in body movement, particularly foot work. I play songs with a heavy back-beat like "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps, James Brown's "Living in America", Aretha Franklin's "Freeway of Love", OJ's "Love Train" and a CD full of others. We play them loud. This is hardly a comtemporary idea -- boxers, for instance, have long used upbeat music while working on the speed bag or jumping rope. I hold a 7th dan master rank and while traditional, sport specific, work is essential I am always on the lookout for new training approaches that are effective, safe and understood by my students. There are new techniques and equipment developing on a regular basis and good i. But it seems that music has an enduring quality. I even use mellow music for meditation, something like Herbie Hancock's "Bubbles."

OK Go, "Get Over It"
- I hate the weight lifting part of my workout so this song helps get me through it. It's kind of angry and telling me to just get over it :)
- —Guest weights are boring
Modest Mouse - "Dashboard"
- Modest Mouse's "Dashboard" -- Love this for any stair stepper or elliptical machine interval.

Crazy Train
- Ozzy! ozzy Osbourne, Crazy Train may be an oldie, but it's perfect for a weight workout in the gym.
