Workout Music



Recommended Posts

Anybody have some good suggestions for workout music?

I'm open to any kind of music. I was looking on iTunes, but nothing caught my eye.

I tend to listen to country, blues, and live classic rock when I'm driving, grilling and just relaxing.

The gym, though.......that's another arena altogether. I amp things up a great deal there. There's been many times when the music was all I had to power me through a workout.

I tend to embrace heavy metal at these times.

The latest album from Five Finger Death Punch gets tons of playtime on my earbuds......this and their last one....Killer tunes to get that little bit extra from you.

It was what I was listening to this weekend.....after my 45 mins cardio and 30 mins lifting session was done......done......yet I was still feeling good....with something left in the tank. Walked by the punching bags and did my best old man beatdown on one of them. Results weren't pretty........but the tunes were fueling the inner beast.

Avenged Sevenfold works nicely, too.

I've never served in the military and I have great respect for those that have/do.

With that being said.....I tend to gravitate towards the gym tunes that I'd love to hear if I was going to war. Battle tunes. lol. I guess I am waging a war on fat, right ?

Do a search for the thread - but there was one a while back where everyone posted their favorite workout songs, and it was great.

I'm liking some Elle King (Ex's and Ohs) and a couple of Mghan Trainer (Bang dem sticks), also just downloaded some great rock oldies - Blondie's Call Me was a hoot to workout to last night! Oh - and Goldfrapp's Ooh La La is good too.

Yep, I like your thinking and music choices for working out.

I too, need something that's going to "get that little extra from you".

I do like avenged sevenfold....ill check out five finger death punch.

Thanks!

I go for songs that make me feel strong, pump me up, make me HAVE to move, dance etc...

When I'm doing cardio, I'm all about Pitbull! Dirty lyrics but certainly makes you want to move!

Also,this article gives 100 workout songs for lots of different categories. I found some good ideas on here when I needed to switch up some of my tunes.

Out of curiosity, would any woman listen to Queen's song "Fat Bottomed Girls"? :)

In the previous thread, I added some of my hard driving metal that I use regularly in the gym, but I discovered a "new" band that I just can't get enough of. There was a thrash metal band from the early 90's that I loved that I had the chance to meet the lead singer recently. He now does mash-ups of all things.

The song that I just can't get enough of now is a mash-up of No Diggity and California Love:

I downloaded to my Iphone PodRunner Shift, by DJ Steve Boyett.

I can choose hundreds of exercise mixes at different BPM, as well as the shift allows be to change any mix to the BPM I want at the time. They also have many Interval mixes.

Most mixes are about 60 min long so work well for most my workouts.

If you have Amazon Prime then you have access to free music. Amazon has some great "workout" playlists already put together. They kinda build and cool down. I like them when I'm stuck for what I want to listen to. Helps me find my mojo.

OK, resurrecting this thread because I have just found the mother-lode of workout music.

I seriously cannot wait to have this blaring during my deadlift session.

I'm all about older stuff: AC/DC, Quiet Riot, Ratt, Metallica, and Motley Crue in the gym, and dance type music when I'm at home...

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
