My three favorite types of excercise are (in this order)
1. Boxing
2. Running
3. Weight Lifting
4. Rock Climbing

When I'm hitting a speed bag or doing roadwork I listen to a lot of Prodigy and Crystal Method. When I'm running I listen to old school hip hop (rob base and d.j. easy rock, redhead kingpin, and of course rocky!) When i weight lift I listen to Prodigy and Rage against the machine. And when I do indoor rock climbing I take my nano and listen to chill back stuff cause it helps me not to look down! (I'm not fond of heights, but love challenges) What about you?

Sex and whatever kinda mood music we may be in

I've never been able to co-ordinate music with exercise

usually what accompanies walking fast is whining and complaining

sex, silence

and music I can manage for cooking and driving

If I listen to my ipod while walking I walk loads faster than normal

I used to walk up to uni, a 20minute walk, then all of a sudden I was at the top of the hill all out of breath, having done it in less than 10!

Apart from walking though, I don't get a whole lotta exercise! If I did though, I'd listen to fast music

Yeah but where's the music?

Walking for hoourrrsss. . . John Mayer, Rufus Wainwright, Train
Sex . . . Prince, deep house
Kayaking. . . just the sound of the paddles in the water, though Bjork could be nice

Could I be more predictable?

My exercise consists of Running & Weight Lifting because I hate team sports.

As for the music, anything incredibly angry, heavy and motivating works. I've exercised to Psytrance, Techno; stuff like the Prodigy, Infected Mushroom, GMS, etc. But I always come back to hard, hard or energetic rock - stuff like White Rose Movement, RATM, A Perfect Circle. And always NIN - always. The heaviest nin I can find; the obscure Downward Spiral offcuts work best. Trent's love of dissonance is what makes it so good to exercise - the sudden switches from near silence to something really loud is empowering and very motivating.

Sex.. Barry White..

Sex: NIN too.

For walking, cardio and weight lifting I prefer housey dance music. Anything with a heavy beat. It makes me dance while I'm exercising anyway.

For yoga I prefer silence.

When I tried Thai Chi I listened to babies crying. It works well.

It works!

Sorry, but that's gotta be the most annoying sound in the world!!

Less out loud moaning. More quiet whimpering.

I love the hell out of some Tae Bo - it's body altering if you have a Billy Blanks trained clone trainer like I do.
Dancing - will always love any form of it.
Weight Lifting - I love feeling strong.

Forgot music - add hip hop to the mix and I'm in heaven.

my FAVORITE exercise? ugh, i don't have one. i hate it all. but sometimes when i'm in the right mood and the right music comes through my headphones, it can become extremely tolerable. i like techno-y dancey stuff when i'm doing the elliptical cardio machine, but otherwise i like angry punk-y stuff when i'm using exercise machines and free weights. the distillers are PERFECT for the gym...they've gotten me through many an uninspired visit.

I love the Prodigy and Crystal Method....not just while excercising, but I can listen to them almost anytime. I do Tae Bo sometimes, and I'll mute the sound from the t.v and just play my music....mainly something fast paced like Miami Bass or Electronic/Rave music. If I'm walking at a track then I'll just put my iPod on shuffle.....which is a mix of genres.

1. Running

2. Weight training

3. Swimming laps

Music on ipods, I have 3:

1. All Prince

2. Oldies rock and roll..70's-90's

3. Current music and kid's rap to keep up with the current trends

1. Running

Music: I have a special iPod playlist called "_Run_Mix_" and it includes a lot of dance, electronic and pop music.

Also, I love running to Jay-Jay Johanson's Rush albm and Les Rythmes Digitales' "Darkdancer." I've worn the track "Sometimes" out... but still love it. Nelly F's latest is a good running album, too.

Do you mean, like, when I have to carry my records?

Sure why not!

Sex...Boxing...Running or any type of cardio that will get my heart rate up and makes me sweat... the music depends on my mood and the excercise.

Besides weight training, I love to run. I love to listen to old school hip hop, new wave, and freestyle when I exercise. DMX's "Ruff Ryders Anthem" is always in there.
