Next evolution. Chopped this one up a little. Lifting music doesn’t really help me with cardio and cardio music doesn’t really help me with lifting. Need a good beat for cardio and need to be worked up into a fury to lift.
Lifting
1. Killing in the Name – Rage Against the Machine
2. More Human than Human – White Zombie
3. Slither – Velvet Revolver
4. For Whom the Bell Tolls – Metallica
5. Let the Bodies Hit the Floor – Drowning Pool
6. Immigrant Song - Led Zepplin
7. Raining Blood – Slayer
Cardio
1.Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen
2. All The Things That I’ve Done - The Killers
3. Wrong Way – Sublime
4. One More Time – Daft Punk (a little eh… Eurotrashy, but great rhythm)
5. Stronger – Kayne West
6. Praise You – Fatboy Slim
7. Long Road to Ruin – Foo Fighters
Cool Down
Soul to Squeeze – Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tuesday’s Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd
If Hanna Montana pops up anywhere on this list, you can bet Charlie’s been tampering with my post. Speaking of, I *believe* that Charlie does Crossfit…. which is way too hardcore for me, I’m Air Force. Credit to our buddy Lex for sticking to the same hellacious routine.
Cool down tunez was a nice addition. I would throw in In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins for cool down, just because it relaxes the heck out of me.
Sorry, I know that may be a fruity suggestion in light of all the death metal.
Just rattlin two off of my head after this fat boy civvie want for his morning run:
(1) Zombie Nation (by Kerncraft or something like that-get the Sports version; sorry Techno suits me for running)
(2) Harvester of Sorrow – Metallica
(3) ‘Til I Collapse – Eminem & Nate Dogg

Anything by Metallica will get you going for weights. Techno, though completely stupid music, is simply awesome for running.
Crossfit knocked my PT score up a full ten points. That was after sticking to the program for only 3 months. I highly recommend it, but the program is not something you can just jump into. You need to have a knowledge of weight training and some understanding of nutrition to do it without hurting yourself. And you need to be in decent shape to start. Fortunately we had someone on base who was a certified crossfit trainer, otherwise I would have never been able to do it.
Try adding these two to your list:
-Lifting
Dropping Plates; Disturbed
-Running
Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner; Iron Maiden
hey great suggestions Marcus
John,
I too enjoy a little inspirational music while I get my smoke on.

Lifting… Marines’ Hymn
Cardio… Marines’ Hymn
Cool Down… Marines’ Hymn
Boom – POD
“In the Air Tonight” always reminds me of the fellows in Bravo Two Zero running across the desert after their first shoot-out.
The cardio list is great, I can see myself listening to every song on there during my runs. There’s no need to be defensive about enjoying Daft Punk during PT.
Crossfit fan:
Thanks so much – totally new to crossfit.
Routine has been my enemy lately.
Oh, please forgive the duplicate posts above – wife gave birth to our second kid recently – not thinkin straight. (BTW got my 1st boy!)
Don’t forget that the new Metallica…album will be out next week….
