I'm actually a fitness instructor and have to program playlists for classes all the time. The key is finding music that motivates you. Obviously, you want upbeat, energetic songs for cardio & if you are lifting weights, songs with a steady, moderate beat would help with pacing.

I'm sorry but now when I read Coldplay and "workout" in the same sentence, I just think about this:

I have about 98% of Coldplay songs on my iPod and I walk when I am at work (on break!). I find MOST Coldplay songs work. HLH and Lovers in Japan are two great ones, as some have said.

100% agree with this.

------------------------

I change my playlist almost every 2 weeks by replacing few of the songs. Upbeat, dancy, poppy songs are the way to go.
--MX/HLH
--Good Feeling by Florida
--Im Sexy & I know it
--ETIAW
--Paradise
--Scheibe by Lady Gaga
--Shake It Out by Florence & The Machine
--Where Have You Been by Rihanna
--Charlie Brown
--Without You by David Guetta
--AHT/DLIBYH
--All The Lovers by Kylie Minogue

If you ask me next month, it's very likely that I will have a different playlist

I'm lazy, especially in the winter, and so most of the advice in this thread is useless to me until I decide to get fit and do some actual exercise.

In the meantime, I shall just watch this instead :lol::laugh3:

Although they are all necessarily by Coldplay, here's what I use:

Knights of Cydonia - Muse
Clocks (Toronto 2006 and Holland 2005)
AHT / DLIBYH
GPASUYF (any new live version)
Live And Let Die - Guns N' Roses
Mr. Brightside - The Killers
Violet Hill
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
Glass Of Water
ETiaW
42 (LRLRL version)
Chinese Sleep Chant
Walls - Manic Drive
Stockholm Syndrom - Muse
Map of the Problematique - Muse
Uprising - Muse
Take Me Away - Plain White T's

-----

It also helps to arrange the playlist so that the energy of each song flows into the next. For example, I start with GPASUYF, which segues into Knights which segues into AHT / DLIBYH. Good luck :)
