Any suggestions for some upbeat music to get me through 1-2 hours of gym time? I'm totally into Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Rihanna, just to give an idea of what I go for. Recommendations would be awesome! Thanks!

    Personally. I LOVE India Arie's song 'Summer' I literally set it to repeat when I run. I also like to listen to some of the older Garbage songs as well as Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

    Michael Buble - I'm Feeling good. I really like the lyrics "Its a New Dawn, Its a New Day, Its a New Life, for Me - And I'm feelin' Good!!! ITs great when you don't think you have anything left in you! LOL Actually lots of his upbeat songs are great for the gym. I have also discovered recently that some Old Liberace songs are a great beat - Kitten on the Keys, Liberace Boogie etc. Choose the really fast ones! LOL I also listen to Whitney Houston especially her BodyGuard Soundtrack. Good luck!

    Hmm...i recommend "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson. Also, Crazy Frog songs would make great workout music, like "Axel." They're funny cuz of the periodical high pitched frog voice singing, but they're so upbeat. lol Techno music also works...like DJ Sammy, Cascada, Alice Deejay, DJ Tiesto, TBA, etc. Ooh, and if u like Lady GaGa, u'll love the techno version of "Alejandro"...GREAT workout song. :)

    My new favorite is "Sleepwalker" by Adam Lambert. It totally helps me visualize where I want to be and keeps me going!
