"Trouble" by Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson really got me moving this morning. Any other suggestions?

    If you'd like to add me I actually just made a blog post with my current running playlist! :)
    But my three favorite songs on it (right now) are:
    "Silver" Hans Zimmer
    "Take Me To Church" Hozier
    "Waves" Robin Shulz (Mr.Probz radio edit dance mix)

    I listen to my Pandora app while working out, and my station of choice is Hardwell.

    Ooooh. I have a whole playlist fillllled. Since I'm trying to run/walk more (have a 5K training app), a lot of these songs are ones that motivate me to keep up my pace!

    "Weightless" - All Time Low
    "Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen
    "Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor
    "Move Along" - All-American Rejects
    "London Beckoned..."/ "Time to Dance" / "There's a Good Reason..." - Panic! at the Disco (really, most of their songs work, but these are the three I like best)
    "Invincible" / "Do What You Want" / "Here It Goes Again" - OK Go (again, most of their songs are good for this)
    "Paralyzer" - Finger Eleven

    Also, while it's not in the same tempo range as the others, check out "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini. It's my personal belief that it's impossible to be unhappy while listening to that song--and it's got a great sentiment for some get up and go!

    I don't like to pay to download a lot of music cuz I'm a broke college student, so I usually listen to Pandora. There's a really good station on there called "Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout" which plays a lot of fast paced songs with great beats for working out to or even just for getting pumped up for your day to! There's also a really cool App (I forget the exact name) called something like "Match My Pace" that is free that plays music that matches the pace you are moving during your workout, so the faster you run, the faster the beat goes. I really like that one, too! :)
