Workout Playlist

I found a really good blog called 'Matchstick Molly' and she has a lot of fun challenges and ideas for exercise, health and weight loss. One thing she recommends is making the perfect workout playlist, and posting it. Here's the categories she recommends, and my favorite songs from my iPod playlist!

THREE RELAXING WARM-UP SONGS:

1) Vagabond - Wolfmother

2) We Are Young - Fun.

3) United States of Eurasia / Collateral Damage - MUSE

THREE SONGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL POWERFUL TO BEGIN YOUR WORKOUT:

1) Bulletproof - La Roux (this one NEVER fails to pump me up!)

2) Everybody Talks - Neon Trees

3) Helena Beat - Foster The People

THREE SONGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL ANGRY TO KICK YOUR WORKOUT INTO HIGH GEAR:
1) Immigrant Song (Girl With Dragon Tattoo Cover) - Karen ) with Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

2) Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes

3) We're In This Together - Nine Inch Nails

YOUR TOP THREE FAST-PACED CARDIO SONGS:

1) Knights of Cydonia - MUSE

2) Satellite - Rise Against

3) Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire

THREE RELAXING COOL-DOWN SONGS:

1) Where Is My Mind - The Pixies
2) All These Things That I've Done - The Killers

3) God Only Knows - The Beach Boys (this is a new addition to my iPod, but it's perfect.)

THE ONE SONG GUARANTEED TO KICK YOUR WORKOUT UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL:

1) Sober - Pink

As you can see, most of my workout music is rock with a bit of pop here and there. Probably 75% rock, 15% pop, 10% oldies/classical. I think it's a good mix, and it always gets me going! I add a few new songs every couple weeks or so. Sometime's I'll just make a whole new playlist maybe of oldies, or even sometimes classical music that still seems to pump me up. Hey, whatever works, right!
