training music
March 26, 2019, 10:39:39 am
just wondering if people here can recommend a few playlists and/or web radios that are well suited to hear during a training session.

i particularly enjoy "the real thing" soundrack for the purpose, to give an example

cheers!   :)

Wow, that’s all so cute and cuddly.

It probably helps with the rests.


Anyway, I prefer Protafield if I feel Electronicishy type thingy. Rediscovering the Prodigy too.

But you can’t beat a bit of The Disturbed, or Rage Against The Machine, for a good strength session.
Basically anything that makes other people leave the room and gives you “Total fucking Psycho” face if you sing along whilst training.

If I feel jolly, for a more relaxed, sunny day, kind of thing; a playlist of the Offspring’s less commercial stuff, has me bouncing weight plates off strangers heads (in a playful way, of course, hardly any blood).




I usually train alone, before the wall is open.

Go figure.

I think a bit of variety is good, although it tends to be techno, especially Chris Liberator acid techno stuff. I’ve also been listening to a fair bit of Rory Gallagher and The Band, but the latter’s a bit too chilled to listen to for long tbh.

I don’t generally like house music, but this lady’s blend of progressive/ techy house is great to train to, plenty on soundcloud too:

I really enjoy a bit of Mike Tyson's stuff https://soundcloud.com/parttimesemipro As a bonus he's also a UKBer!

Wu tang clan, any of. Leftfield's leftism or rhythm and stealth. Techno if you want aggressive, reggae if you want mellow.

for getting warmed up when you might not be feeling up to it

9 minutes of music to get you psyched up and ready to do things

Let's be honest.

Stick on some AC/DC at max volume and even if you're not a fan, you climb 2 grades harder.
