"get ready"

i rarely ever go to the gym but when i do, i listen to new order.

Back in the day, before I became this amorphous blob I used to find Big Black (especially Kerosene) worked well on the treadmill. It filled me with the rage and hate that I needed to keep pushing myself. Also the drum machine gives you the kind of metronomic rhythm you need to keep a pace.

For weights I also like something with a bit of bite and aggression to get the testosterone going: Black Flag or something.

but I think I'll just listen to the sound of grown men grunting. :(

That'll give you adrenaline.
Or Blood Red Shoes or QOTSA, something like that ^^

Daft Punk is quite good for running as it's nice and upbeat but you do tend to run in a funny way as if you're trying to dance.

I always put on Underground Resistance on the rare occasion I do exercise. Something like Electronic Warfare.

Seriously! Running is way more fun with a little funk.

this is my fave song at the moment and it's great if you want to do a really fast sprint on the treadmill!

or Hip Hop.

SLAYER
