I recently started working out, and I need music to get me pumped before during and after. I prefer rap and rock but ill listen to annoying. Thanks for the suggestions.
If you're planning on doing cardio exercises, I've always found disco or other dance music to be the best music to work out to... the beat generally works for fast-paced exercises and it's almost always positive enough to improve your mood!
Just speaking from my experiences of course... you may have a completely different view on what music would and wouldn't give you a better workout!
Well it depends on what genre of music you like. Before I play a game I listen to some dubstep, it really gets me pumped I don't know if you'll like dubstep though lol.
I would suggest any music with a decent enough beat in it, like dance music for example! =)
And if you don't like dance music in particular, you can always do what I do whenever I go to workout on my mountainbike: play uptempo metal and hardrock! 'Works out' perfectly for me!
For some reason, 70's rock comes to mind. I'd recommend groups as Boston, Foreigner, and the Steve Miller Band. If you want to get truly pumped, this should probably do it for you. Usually works for me.
