Getting monumentally bored and apathetic when it comes to music that used to motivate me to destroy the pain barrier in the gym.
Used to rely on various tidbits from the Rocky soundtracks, Rage Against the Machine, Jeff Mills mixes, but it is just all falling on deaf ears these days.
Perspired this very evening to the following (I won't make mention of the fact that I had Joe Esposito "You're the Best!" from the Karate Kid soundtrack on the playlist)

Led Zeppelin - Trampled Underfoot
Saliva - Doperide
Underworld - Bruce Lee (Micronauts remix)
Trevor Rockliffe - Visions of You (Trevor's Original Oral Mix)
Technasia - Sound of K / Silvery Sounds (Technasia Hard Mix)
Freelance Hellraiser - Snoop Dogg vs Guns'n'Roses (for shame)
The Runaways - Cherrybomb
Heiko Laux - Moved (Ricardo Villalobos Mix)
Ratt - Bodytalk
Electrofrogs - Databrain
Hypnotist - The House is Mine (JD Twitch edit)

So thar ya go, just looking for some potentially likeminded entertainment to query Soulse*k or my Itunes with. Never know where the next anthemic gym masterpiece will crop up from.
As an example, Doperide by Saliva was on a clip I got sent by a royal chutney ferret in work showing american military might (yes he scares me). When in the sweet name of Jebus would anyone choose to listen to a band named Saliva?
Requests for me to suicide myself to death not appreciated.

Surely it depends on what your specific tastes are but id say something fast would get your going.. www.fuk.co.uk/threads/liquid_drum_n_bass

Listening Karate Kid while on the running machine would just make me laugh

Yes, I have 45:33 in my library and don't believe I have listened to it through yet. An honourable suggestion.
Joe Esposito,
You’re the best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re the Best!

If you don't laugh, then you aren't having fun.
If you really want to laugh ... Uncle Jim's "Superstars of Greenwich Village" caused me to convulse recently when I heard it as part of a mix on the x-trainer. Unnecessarily crude, but amusing as fuck.

Yeah, I ought to listen to some more fierce d'n'b, just something to break the monotony. Downloading the now.
See, all I need are suggestions/recommendations to vitalize me. Thanks.

Movie soundtracks are the most inspiring. I defy you to not work harder when listening to 'The Rock' main theme, it's Mickey for the ears. Cool

This mix is a bit old, but it served me really well back in the day when I wasn’t such a fat shit and used to work out.

Adam Beyer – Timewarp

This is pretty much my favourite techno mix ever.

napalm death?

or...

my advice would be to get long mixes rather than listen to individual songs, mixes shrink time and take your mind off stuff.

I listen to dance music most of the time.

I find the best motiational stuff though is some good oldschool Heavy Metal.

Megadeth's Sympohny of Destruction has a really crushing guitar riff, which I found on a freeride mountainbike video.

I tend to go for stuff like Papa Roach (Infest), Blink 182 (Enema of the State) and lots of good old heavy metal (Manowar is always great for tempo and laughs).

It depends on how high a tempo you want to achieve - most of the stuff I listen to is good for keeping the heartrate in the 80-90 bpm so it may be a little fast for those looking to just burn fat.

In the end there is no substitute for pirating lots of music and keeping the stuff that hits the spot Smiling

thanks
