Sometimes I prefer "old school" music when I work out. Something like that one song from the movie Rocky. That one song "Eye of the tiger" by who the hell knows....stuff like that. Not necesarily 80's music but Journey and bands like that are good.
If you want to go the contempory route then I usually listen to a lot of alternative. I like Rhomstine-they are a German band, Creed, Eve 6, Limp Biscuit, The "Gone in 60 Seconds, Matrix, and Fast and the Furious soundtracks are bad ass. Blink 182, etc. Techno or Electronic music is also good if you are into that sort of thing.
If these help....Karma is greatly appreciated. Thanks
