1. i enjoy listening to walk it out while i work out. It makes me increase my workout speed and feel better.
2. i use hip hop because its a faster pace to get your work out on you will get your cardio workout on because of the pace if you are serious
3. It's funny you ask I have been experimenting with this lately. I have found that if you are weight training then use music or a certain song that really taps into your emotions of inspiration, regardless of tempo. This will increase your will power to push heavy weights longer. Now, if you are working on cardiovascular, such as running, stepping, biking, etc. then I've found techno music or club music extremely helpful. The reason for this is because it keeps the same rhythm for long periods of time. Your body will parallel this rhythm and your mind will focus more on the music and less on the strain. It can be allot of fun, Good Luck
4. For my workouts, it really depends on what type of exercise I'm doing. If I'm doing some weights, I'll go for something with a slower tempo (don't want to lift too fast as it reduces the benefits of weight lifting.) For cardio, I prefer music with a fast tempo (about 160 beats per minute). Here's my cardio playlist from my MP3 player: Feel the Earth Move - Carole King (good start for a jog) Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Simply Being Loved - BT Love Bites (Valentine Club Mix) - QED What Is Love? Flashdance...What A Feeling (Original Mix) - Digital Offspring S.O.S. - Rihanna Ooh La La - Goldfrapp Ooh Ahh...Just A Little Bit - Gina G. I'm So Excited - Pointer Systers Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now) Run Away (Club Attack Mix) - Real McCoy Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar I Will Survive '93 - Gloria Gaynor Pump Up The Jam - Technotronic Move This - Technotronic Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) - C+C Rhythm Factory Flashdance - Irene Cara Get This Party Started - Pink It's My Life - No Doubt Hips Don't Lie - Shakira Rebel Yell - Billy Idol Tainted Love - Pussycat Dolls Footloose - Kenny Loggins Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant Bad Reputation - Joan Jett Can't Get You Out of My Head - Kylie Minogue Paint It Black - Rolling Stones Pon De Replay - Rihanna Hypnotize - System of a Down Sweet Dreams - La Bouche Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor On The Dark Side - John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band Survivor - Destiny's Child Lady Marmalade - Christina Aguilera Bolero - Simon Standage (Moulin Rouge 2) Rock and Roll Part Two - Gary Glitter I'm All Right (Caddyshack Theme) - Kenny Loggins The Ballroom Blitz - Sweet Gloria - Laura Brannigan Crazy In Love - Beyonce Let's Go Crazy - Prince Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springstein Great Balls Of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis All The Things She Said - Tatu Walking On Broken Glass - Annie Lenox Get Off My Cloud - Rolling Stones Paint it Black - Rolling Stones Call Me - Blondie What You Waiting For - Gwen Stefani Woo Hoo - 5.6.7.8's (great way to end a successful workout)
