Evening,

I am putting together a mix CD to work out to so that includes weights and running.

I need some inspiration on finishing it off as my memory has gone completely blank!! Looking for songs to get the old blood pumping and help me through the dark times (like the last 5 mins of my run when I am hangin!!)

So far I have:

Prodigy - Firestarter
Josh Wink - Higher state of consciousness
Cafe Del Mar - Energy 52
Rocky IV - Training montage (dont laugh its great for running!!)
Prodigy - No Good
Faithless - Insomnia
Public Doain - Operation Blade

So you can see the way I am heading and the era, takes me back to my raving years (quite some time ago now.........) and great top work out to!!

So any recommendations?

Cheers!

Metallica !!!!!!!!!! Kill em all!!!!!!! or Reign in Blood

[Dave]

The Shamen, loads to choose from.

Barthezz, On the Move.

Linus Loves, Stand Back.

Was gonna suggest Eye of the Tiger because yes, it is great to train to.

[EricHitchmo]

Yes Move any mountain would be good

Totally recommend Cream Classics 1 and 2

or something uber serious like Joy Division?

[mrapbp]

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, keep em coming!!

Rather odd one but I have just added Series of Dreams - Bob Dylan!!! What a great track!!!

You're going to think I'm mad, but I oft times do my training to the Sympathy for Lady Vengeance soundtrack (free download from the film's web-site)
It's all classical but there is a good range of pace which helps me catch my breath before completely kn***ing me with Pagagnini's Variations.

Gnr - Welcome to the Jungle, was voted top song to lift to by Weight-lifters in a recent poll.

i always think you cant go wrong with some cheesy movie montage music when working out. Some movie tracks i'd suggest would be,

Never by Moving Pictures (Footloose)
The Dragons Heartbeat (Dragon the Bruce Lee story)
Hearts on Fire (Rocky IV)
No Easy Way out (Rocky IV)

Well, a couple of years ago, I decided to really hit the fitness, weights, bike, running, all were combined. I now run the Nottingham half marathon every year, cycle & use hand weights every other day & have consistently done for the last three+ years. It's now without doubt a just part of my life.

The fitness song for me may not be an obivious choice but it worked & it still gives me goose pimples now when I remember how much harder everything was in the beginning.

The track - 'Easy' off LoveBox by Groove Armada

the lyrics - 'cause I know with life comes sacrifice... looking back it was easy, it was easy.'

...it wasn't of course but you have to use every mind trick in the book with exercise.
