I am just starting boxing training, what would people recommend as good motivational music for this training?

Answer 1

I love HARD CORE rap or metal when I train. I like to think of things that REALLy piss me off too. It's very theraputic to do it that way, to work out aggression instead of being outwardly aggressive. And, if you are a fan of Rocky movies, I bought the Rocky 4 sound track... I love Vince DiCola, his syphonies are GREAT!!! There are many good songs. Can you think of anything that inspires you? My girlfriend likes to listen to techno, she keeps beat with it. There is nothing wrong with that, it is just not my style. Also, here's another suggestion, sometimes when I run, I will time it to a 1 hour run. I will keep looking at the time and doing fractions on how far along, in terms of time. The thought process of doing all of the math takes your mind away from the run. Good luck buddy.

Answer 2

It's cliche, but you can't go wrong with the Rocky soundtrack - particularly compilations with songs taken from Rocky 1 through 6.

Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out
3 6 Mafia - It's a Fight
Joey B Ellis - Go For It

And so on...

But a couple other winners that people in boxing and fighting gyms tend to favor as either training or entrance music...

Fort Minor - Remember the Name
DMX - Mike Tyson Intro Song

AVOID:

Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Michael Buble.

Answer 3

AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, anything classic rock. But hey that's what I'm into. Although I must admit I've never used or played music while I trained. I like hearing the jump ropes hissing the speed bags banging off the platform, and the pop of the heavy bag.

Answer 4

Phil Collins-In the air tonight

Eye of the tiger (from the Rocky series)

Rampage-Wild for the night

Big Tuck-Tussle (will get you pumped up)

Crystal Method ( no lyrics but the music will have you ready to kill someone in the ring)

LL COOL J-Mama said knock you out

Answer 5

Kickass Heavy Metal.Checkout these songs on youtube:
Limp Bizkit- Eat you alive
Disturbed-Down with the sickness
Drowning Pool-Bodies

Answer 6

to tell you the truth i took a class and the teacher said that a steady music without dramatic changes in its sound is best.

if the music is too sad or too much screaming, you won't react well.

some boxers prefer mellow music that relaxes them while others prefer things that pumps them up.

i'd go with smoething that pumps you up. if the song gives you goosebumps, try boxing to that song.

Answer 7

I listen to something hardcore when boxing or doing Muay Thai. Anything that has raw power and aggression. I would suggest...

Korn
Pantera
Suicidal Tendencies
Sick of it All
Tool
Fear Factory
Hatebreed

the list goes on and on

Answer 8

i practice in mma aswell mate, portion of the kengai mma camp... i pay attention to Robert tepper - No hassle-free way out john cafferty - hearts on hearth survivor - Burning coronary heart beau williams - feeling so good ( from kickboxer LOL) each and all the motivational stuff replaced into from the 80s ????

Answer 9

Well if you really want it you have to be commited to your training.. Ive been in boxing for about 9months.. Its really fun but sometimes I catch myself not working out and talking to my friends and I need to stop =)

Answer 10

The Rocky Soundtrack LOL
I don't know listening to some of the crap they churn out these days males me want to hit someone.
