I’ve been using an elliptical for a few weeks and have a playlist I listen to when I use it, it’s pretty short though and the songs get old. I’d like things in the same style though, namely songs that will make my heart explode if I try to keep up with their energy. Right now the playlist has: _Through the Fire and Flames_ and \* Fury of the Storm\* by DragonForce _Master of Puppets_ and _Battery_ by Metallica _Fucking Hostile_ by Pantera _Payback_ by Slayer _Hush_ by Deep Purple _Paranoid_ by Black Sabbath Metal works out the best usually, but I’m open to anything. ---
