Turbo Training Music

Soni · June 2012

Can't believe some of the summer training tunes recommended on Livestrong, i realise that not everybody has the same likes in music, some of the stuff i listen to that motivates me, probably wouldn't motivate others.

I like various different types of music, but for training its got to be techno/trance/house/dance music, for those the same as me what types are you listening to at the moment?

This is pretty good:-

Really picks up around 3:15, i like female vocalist mixes, any of you guys listening to any decent female vocal mixes at the moment?

This is another nice female vocal mix, probably the best trance mix of 'died in your arms', problem is she starts around 0.58 and leaves at 1.50 and then it sounds like some type of Scooter (the group) track!

East Clubbers Moon & Back remix isn't bad either

Any other recommendations? Female vocal mixes?

I was thinking along the lines of megamixes, transe/house etc., power ballads are love songs aren't they?

They make you lose more weight during 45 minute turbos. Bonnie Tyler has been banned by WADA because of the performance enhancing effect of Holding out for a Hero. True story.

Here's a page with 20 or so hard-ish trance sets for download, mixed by a fella in Switzerland, all about 1 hr 15min long:-

http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/197217

It's largely stuff from the mid-90s (or in that style - not that things have changed much...), and may be a bit hard for you. However, relentless hard acid trace seems to work wonders for me on the turbo, and is all I bother with.

From that list of 20 above, try the (cheesily titled) http://www.jfkstudios.ch/music/djharmony_rave.mp3 as a sampler. Stick it at the 24 minute mark and 'Ave It!

Oi oi!

This and this will provide you with all the music you'll ever need for training, ever.

Soni · July 2012

Big thanks to rdt and ElZomba for those recommendations, both are really great recommendations and will get the flywheel spinning i'm sure!

Power ballads are for shirt lifting, pillow biting bummers. I doubt anyone who trains to such music has ever won a race.

Word. Winning races and not listening to power ballads is for men who aren't COMFORTABLE with their s3xuality.

I use Daft Punk's 'Alive 2007' set - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH3Ne5Nv2tc - this is good as its constant... as opposed to individual songs where there is a lot of fragmentation, building up, drops etc. This has a pretty constant beat for 1hr 23mins. You can find long mixes for loads of artists on youtube.

Hip-hop is also good - eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgInoVbM77E or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVyVIsvQoaE&ob=av2n or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVDfyc2lh4Q&ob=av2e etc. I tend to use this for the gym as opposed to turbo though.

Various other songs in my rotation:
Cosmic Gate - Exploration of Space (must be 2000 version... or 2001 extended) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv1TIMBqF0o
Rusko - Everyday - Netsky Remix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD40VXFkusw
Major Lazer - Get Free - Andy C Remix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_8ZZtL6qmM

Not meaning to sound ungrateful for your post mate, but isn't it strange how different types of music motivate different people, none of the above do it for me except 'Cosmic Gate' thats more my style.

Thats news to me! I though everyone had the same taste in music?

Glad Cosmic Gate are your style though, cracking song!

here's a top 20 for you. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18825579 :? :shock:

now get pedalling!

TheEnglishman · July 2012

Led Zep's entire catalogue

AC/DC's catalogue before Bon Scott died. And Back in Black.

Bryan Adams entire catalogue, except his 'power ballads'

Everything Queen did, including Bryan May's solo stuff.

Sadly, stuff you'll never hear in the gym.t least not mine.

tp2000 · July 2012

Would go with anything Trance....

Current favourites are Tiesto.... In Search of Sunrise (there are around 7 or 8 editions, so enough for a lot of turbo training!)......

Can't get on with Rock for TT though.....largely as I find it too hard to play air guitar whilst keeping the cadence and heart rate high!!!

DavidJB · July 2012

Proper techno...like UMEK, Marco bailey, Spartaque (all do podcasts)

D&B like SPY, Hybrid Minds (sets), AMC, Hype, Friction

And for trance it has to be Indecent Noise and Bryan Kearney and Markus Schultz is smashing it these days <o/ (proper trance, not this airy fairy bollocks that Above and Beyond pump out) And Tiesto hasn't been 'trance' in years...in fact since 2002 with his album 'In My Memory' which had awesome tracks like Flight 643 now he's just a pop twathead.

If you like progressive house Jaytech is a great shout.
