Your workout music!

edited April 2012 in Fitness
Come on! everyone needs a little bit of motivation, especially if you're hitting the weights. You need something to get that adrenaline and testosterone pumping like crazy. Something that stirs that primal side all of us have. Something to awaken your inner beast (we all have one, like it or not...) Not to mention a steady beat of a song can help you pace your workout easier. The song below is a favorite of mine from an album I listen to often. I'll include the lyrics below out of mercy. So go ahead and post what you like to listen to while on a run, on a bike, or lifting some good old fashioned iron.



Lyrics:
From birth we're taught
How to survive.
We're taught how war is waged.
And there are no men now alive
Who stop our wild rampage.

Light at heart we bide or bane
Whatever death awaits.
Norsemen live without regrets,
We accept our woven fate.

So fearlessly we charge ahead,
There is no time to hesitate.

Don't despair, show no fear,
Live your life without regrets.
Don't despair and show no fear
In the face of a certain death!

A coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife;
Old age leaves no rest and peace,
Though spears may spare his life.

We don't mourn
A friend that fell
Or dread the day
We'll fall ourselves.
Warriors don't go to Hell,
'Cause we know
Ygg will greet us well.

So fearlessly we charge ahead,
There is no time to hesitate.

Don't despair, show no fear,
Live your life without regrets.
Don't despair and show no fear
In the face of a certain death!

So raise your horns
To those who died.
Let's drink to
Fallen friends tonight.
Let's celebrate their glory life.
We'll meet again in Valhall
When we die!
When we die!
When we die!

    I like making my ears bleed while I pump iron or run. Hence I made my own metal playlist.


    Half the songs here on 100% volume on a surround sound speaker system will do just that.

    For my running playlist I got mostly metal ranging from Chevelle, Foo Fighters, Mastodon, Metallica, Megadeth, to Slipknot, but then I've added some Skrillex, Beastie Boys, Offspring, Linkin Park, and Rise Against for good measure. Anything with a steady rhythm to keep me moving.

    Excision has some stuff with an awesome running tempo. Trademarking my audio tempo search tool for finding perfectly matched running music.
