Jorge works out?
Not as much as I should. An hour every other day at the gym is as much as I can make time for.
To answer the thread question in earnest, I find listening to music while working out kind of cumbersome, and prefer to listen to audiobooks or podcasts.
Mostly post-rock. I like to kinda fall into a trance when running and like the moodiness that post-rock brings. I tried running to some Beats Per Minute formula once and found it distracting as fuck.
Also, I run with the volume fairly low so I can better monitor my breathing. I like to run with a specific breathing cadence.

I could see that. I do audiobooks during most commutes and I tend to listen to music that is more like background noise when I work out. I got through Chevelle's "This Type of Thinking" this morning, which is not something I would normally listen to but provided enough white boy rage to get me through my back/bi routine.

really? i almost wouldnt exercise if i couldnt listen to music.
ive been listening to modest mouse alot when i run. kings of leon's first album and soad's first 2 albums usually do the trick. there's also a band called pearl jam, im not sure if many of you listen to them here, but i really like listening to them when i exercise, too.
no, i dont listen to dave when i exercise, dont even ask.

It's good way to catch up on bootlegs.
i just listen to the atlanta 94 show. if that doesnt get your blood pumping there is something wrong with you. i've been meaning to put LB on my ipod, i think if you skip sirens it could be a good workout record.
the doors and bad religion are 2 other bands i listen to alot when i workout.

Let's get a good playlist going. Right now, I am enjoying Motley Crue - Kickstart my Heart Buckcherry - Lit Up Joe Esposito - You're the Best (Karate Kid song) Eminem - Til I Collapse STP w/Chester - Out of Time Mxpx - Chick Magnet Metallica - All Nightmare Long RATM - Maggie's Farm Girls Against Boys - Kill the Sexplayer Cyndi Lauper - Goonies R Good Enough Arctic Monkeys - Still Take You Home Toadies - Plane Crash
I try to keep a playlist of about 50-200 songs that I randomly shuffle when I run. I'll start with around 50, and add stuff as time goes by until I get to around 200, and then I start a new one from scratch. I prefer to not know what the next song will be when I'm running for some reason.
Over the past few weeks, these songs have been really hitting the spot during my runs...
Our Perfect Disease - The Wombats I Will Possess Your Heart - Death Cab for Cutie All That He Wants - Kill Hannah Somebody Told Me - The Killers Capitalism Stole My Virginity - The (International) Noise Conspiracy Adelaide - Meg Myers The Last High - The Dandy Warhols Blow My Mind - David Garza Fineshrine - Purity Ring We Sink - CHVRCHES She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult Banquet - Block Party

I used to have a couple of set playlists for running. But, it become a little monotonous so I just hit shuffle on my whole music collection on my phone. This can be good and bad, because sometimes a shitty slow song will pop up when I'm on a good rhythm.

Kings of Leon has a lot of good songs to run to. I don't even really like them but Sex on Fire has a good running beat to it. I usually listen to Mad Season (Live at the Moore) or live PJ. I prefer longer songs, so the playlist is short.
