For running &#x2F; mountain biking &#x2F; lifting I have a number of specific songs I could call out. Too many to list. For other activities, like reading, or coding, I think in terms of genres not individual songs. So when I&#x27;m reading for example, I&#x27;ll just go to Youtube and put on a playlist of classical or synthwave (usually). For coding I might go with classical, synthwave, blues, or even metal.<p>To go back to the running&#x2F;biking&#x2F;lifting thing, here are a few of my standout songs:<p>* Black Sabbath - Iron Man<p>* Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart<p>* Iron Maiden - Die With Your Boots On<p>* Metallica - Seek and Destroy<p>* Whitesnake - Bad Boys<p>* AC&#x2F;DC - Who Made Who<p>* AC&#x2F;DC - Hells Bells<p>* AC&#x2F;DC - Thunderstruck<p>* AC&#x2F;DC - Highway to Hell<p>* Judas Priest - Breaking The Law<p>* Motley Crue - Wildside<p>* Armored Saint - Burning Question<p>* Armored Saint - Last Train Home<p>* Anthrax - Indians<p>* Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction<p>* Motorhead - Ace of Spades<p>* W.A.S.P. - King of Sodom and Gomorrah<p>* W.A.S.P. - Wild Child<p>* W.A.S.P. - Restless Gypsy<p>* K.I.S.S. - Pyschocircus<p>* Whitesnake - Children of the Night<p>* K.I.S.S. - Lick It Up<p>* Cinderella - Somebody Save Me<p>* Cinderella - Push Push<p>* Cinderella - Hell on Wheels<p>And about twelve bazillion more
