Good Music for the gym
Any recommendations on what would be good for downloading onto my Ipod for when working out at the gym?
Looking on I Tunes for ideas but i'm stuck as I normally listen to Sigur Ros, Bloc Party, Stone Roses etc. Thanks |

LOL, Stone Roses would not be my idea of Gym Music, you are right. I find dance/trance stuff the best, something repetitive with a fast beat. Then you can get in time with your music, which happens naturally anyway!

I like Human League, Dare CD best - it does depend on what the exercise is though!

Its mainly for listening to whilst I am doing my cardio as I find the music which played in the gym is on constant repeat so it gets boring.

I usually listen to the local radio station, as they have a 'golden hour' thing while I'm there - and I prefer the older music....
![]() Madonna - Confessions on a Dance Floor is another good one though. |

I have a good cardio playlist which I tried to copy & paste for you but the format is odd so its not readable...
![]() Anything by the likes of Darude, DJ Sammy, Alice Deejay, Basshunter... as someone else said anything with a good base works well, with a few variations on speed thrown in to allow for hill climbs etc |

Something fast, energetic and upbeat - my favourites at the moment are things like Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Missy Elliot, MGMT, Pussycat Dolls etc.
I really like the songs All The Small Things and Baby Got Back to run to. |

I've downloaded a couple of the Podrunner podcasts from itunes, you download them based on BPM which is constant throughout the podcast so it keeps you working at a steady pace.

"You're a Superstar" always inspired me on the rower.
I told my gym that if they ever subjected me to DJ Eric To55pot's version of the classic "Valerie", I would use my new-found muscles to break their music system.

Thanks for all your suggestions so far, Looks like I'll be downloading for a wee while! Fingers crossed this music will keep me motivated.

I'm just digging out my old dance albums ready for the new year.
Decided I'm gonna start running again so I need something to keep me pushing. Only thing is, I like to dance to so I fear I'll end up like that woman out of the Freestylers video when I'm out in public ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uikiBuLfUDg |
