I have power hour mixes on my ipod, which prove good for fast music and for helping to time the intervals instead of having to look at a watch.

called Power hour mixes?

Well do you know what power hour is? Its a drinking game. Theres an hour long playlist of one minute songs, and when the song changes, you take a drink of beer. You usually get 8-10 beers down within an hour.

lmao......

and ur usually drunk by the hour and a half?

You'd be surprised. I have this unnaturally high tolerance to alcohol. If I drink a 12 pack in an hour and a half, I'd be buzzed but not really drunk.

I don't play that much anyway, I'm a liquor guy. Too many calories/carbs in that massive an amount of beer. It takes 3/4ths of a bottle of smirnoff vodka to get me drunk, the full bottle in a night is what usually pushes me over the edge into throwing up/blacking out, but considering that amount could kill other people, I consider it good.

totally off topic.. lolz..

uhmm listen to some heavy metal or some regeaton works good for me.

one word....ROCKY...i refuse to put anything else on my playlist for the gym...

Rocky IV soundtrack is the best but they all are great inspirational music.

i agree w/ this totally

everybody has their own music preference...

i for instance enjoy the genre progressive rock when doing HIIT.
It's a rock genre redefined with classical influences (meaning, more complex song structures, often longer pieces).

It's not really to get motivated though, it's more to enjoy the good feeling afterwards. I find music a lot more enjoyable during or after my sport.

Yesterday i did some custom HIIT by running on a hill (got 3 ways to do the hill, straight, zig zag or using stairs). I never done the hill straight so i did for the first time. I didn't ever feel so tired as i did then, running up 3 times. My heartrate got upto 188 (i'm 20, i don't know if that's average for hiit or under the average), and after the third time i had to lie down for a minute. When i descended the hill i could barely keep myself from crashing to the ground (cuz my legs were really tired). Most effective mode of training i done so far doing HIIT. Cause i can't seem to get good results doing sprints on the ground.

The music i listened to walking back home sounded so much better though.
The CD I listened to in that session was this one: KINGSTON WALL Kingston Wall 2 reviews and MP3
Psychedelic type of progressive rock with some kick ass druming and great guitar solos. Only 2 bad songs on the whole CD.

At times i also enjoy some genesis music ... (tracks: Firth of Fifth, The Cinema Show, ... ) but that's not really when doing HIIT but other types of training. GENESIS Selling England By The Pound reviews and MP3
Needs some listening to get into it though.

But as I said before, everybody has their own preference.

I like Progressive Rock as well. Symphony X is my favorite of that genre.

Rammstein -- Feuer Frei

is probably one of them. Generally Yngwie Malmsteen and other speed/power metal stuff will be great too.
