| | | Fav songs 4 cardio
In this thread we share the songs that keep your heart pumping through a long workout. Songs that are good for warm-up or cool down too.
I'll start...
Blackfoot - Highway Song: This is a great old rock classic from 1979. It starts out kinda mellow and builds to a driving southern rock beat. The lyrics are evocative of a tough slog down a very long road that goes "on and on" (like a good workout should). This is one of those tunes that you end up picking up the pace on without noticing, but even if you do notice, you can't help it. The song itself goes on and on, for 7.5 minutes!

| | | Lately while on the treadmill I've been listening to Angels & Airwaves, I-Empire on my iPod. The whole CD is pretty good and matches the speed intensity pretty good. It's also a good CD to forget what you're doing and the work out goes quickly.
Cool down Def Leppard's Animal matches the 4.0 speed perfectly.
Cheap Trick's Greatest Hits isn't to bad either. |

| | For my treadmill "listening pleasure" I have an Aerosmith greatest hits and a couple of Bob Seger CDs that work very well....and I like the Rascal Flatts version of "Life is a Highway."...anything that will mask all my "cursing and heavy breathing."

| | Many, but two of my favorites are:
Fast walking: Jackson Browne Running on Empty & others
Slow walking: Eagles; Hotel California & others
Lots of Elton John, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia (a diabetic!)also the Grateful Dead.
Fleetwood Mac, Bonnie Raitt & the Beatles are great walking music!
Natalie McMaster's fiddle music is good too. She's from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Well, you asked

| | | The music's great but I watch reruns of CSI & try to time the workout to start & end on the hour. Weird but works for me.

haha okok
For me I like to listen to blink 182, Springstien, Zeppelin anything with a fast tempo and hard guitar and base do the job for me. I am a mathaholic so I always count my pace to the temp of the song so when Angel from Montgomery hits the playlist in my accidental placement of it into the running section of my iPhone my pace and the usual common time of 1,2,3,4 2,2,3,4 goes my mental metronome hits I am sure to slow down. |

| | Always a challenge to set the RIGHT songs when you hit that point when you're tired and out of puff... (but not impossible!) ... Dirty - Rocketface is one of them. |
