    Generally speaking I use metal, hip-hop, funk and hard rock. Basically, something that has an amazingly fast beat. I have to pluck the correct songs off any album to keep that beat fast or I have to be ready on the FF button if I didn't have the time to do that. Usually I do.

    So, let's see, that includes but is not limited to Black Eyed Peas, Outkast, Beastie Boys, Funkadelic, Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Megadeth, The Isley Brothers, Rage Against The Machine, Everlast, 311, Disturbed, Judas Priest, Faith No More, Slave, Heatwave, Bootsy Collins, One Way, Ministry, Manson, and many others. But these change pretty quickly. I rotate them if they start to get stale.

    Full-speed ahead! I can't use the slower songs. They do nothing for me during a workout. I want to keep up a certain pace the entire 50 to 60 minutes.

    Hip hop and dance/pop. Not techno though because I like to have lyrics to listen to :)

    Well, hmmm. Of course anything upbeat is good I don't generally care for hip hop however, i took a kick boxing class that used that type of music and it was very pumping. Now for me I like songs that make we want to dance: wether that be a techno song, rock song or even an oldie lol. If i am on the treadmill though I prefer to listen to audiobooks...they kinda take you away from the burn and you don't notice the pain as much also, a book or movie or whatever makes the time fly by and before you know it your done with your work out. Don't know how much this helped but go with your own beat.

    The audio books are a good idea! I like losing myself in my thoughts and being taken far away into another land when I walk or jog. :wink:
