Ok, this may sound a little weird, but are their any good songs that either get you pumped up to do some sort of exercize, or to keep on execising?

My personnaly, i like this:

I like 'Killing in the Name Of' by Rage Against the Machine. Or 'Sugar' by System of a Down.

I'm more for dance music when training, rather than rock. Especially when running. Here's an excellent DJ Tiesto mix for instance.

In all honesty, and I'm ashamed to admit this;


Part of it is the fact that I kinda dig what he did with the DP song, even if it's in no way shape or form as good as the original, and partly because at the tempo it's set, you can do reps/jog/whatever in time with it pretty easily, just subdivide for the different things you're doing.

I'm weird though

I reccomend any Dragonforce song and Rammstein. A good old beat goes down very well when your in a gym.

Boy does that bring back memories, I loved that game so much. It's probably the single player game I've got the most time spent on.
Anything upbeat and fast-paced for me, whatever gets me pumped.

"here it goes again" (The treadmill song) or something really gamer-y like tetris or the halo theme. Or something old like "The March of The Levellers" or "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts"

I routinely use the first five tracks of "Ultra Beatdown" for just that purpose, in fact!

I use Wonderboy by Tenacious D just for the way it slowly builds up into an awesome rock out and then slows back down reminding me to start cooling down towards the end of a set, (I forget otherwise leading to much muscle ache.)

Disturbed are pretty good for this; I won't likely be using music when I train until I set up a private gym (=stereo=no headphones=relatively low distraction), but they're a favorite of several of my friends (oh, and of course Matt Kroczaleski - and come on, if they're good enough for one of the strongest men of our time, I'm pretty sure they'll work for most beings of lesser strength and dedication).

Amon Amarth are decent, particularly their most recent album (and then particularly the title track...possibly even only the title track).

Judas Priest's heavier side is also pretty good. Painkiller, for example.

Depending on how tolerant you are of having to constantly change song, Opeth can work quite well. Most of their songs open heavy or at least dynamic and then lapse out around the 1, 2, or 3 minute mark. Ghost Reveries is a pretty album there, though if you're just after a quick boost it's pretty much impossible to top the first minute of Deliverance (from the album of the same name).

Some Emperor can work; same with other black metal bands (I'm told Immortal is a good one here, but I haven't heard any of their stuff in years and can't remember much there).

Some thrash can work, depending on how you listen to it and/or whether or not you can stand it. I don't particularly like enough of the genre to be able to use it, though (...Master of Puppets is not motivational if you discover it after Painkiller.).

I hesitate to even say the word 'DragonForce' but the intro to Disciples of Babylon is pretty effective if you're just after something quick.

I'm told good things about some more obscure stuff like Anaal Nathraak, but I can't bring myself to actually buy it.

Some Maiden. The Trooper can be useful if you imagine it with greater distortion.

For some reason, I've actually set new records pretty effectively while playing really weary stuff like Barry Manilow - Mandy and Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest in my head. Speaking of DT, most of the stuff on Train of Thought.

Can't think of any others. Frankly, if I'm not in a gym where music from headphones would be drowned out by sleds grating on concrete, bars slamming into racks, plates hitting the floor, and people grunting, screaming, roaring, and yelling with exertion (not to mention cuing each other and me on every heavy rep), motivational music for playing on anything other than my mental stereo is a secondary concern until I can find (or establish) such a gym.
