    Pretty much everything Pink. I try to keep the slow ones out unless its during cool down. My playlist typically starts with Blow Me (One Last Kiss) and ends with The Truth About Love. Some other good upbeat Pink songs are:
    So What
    Raise Your Glass
    U + Ur Hand
    Funhouse
    Slut Like You *I love this song. Lol its like turning the tables.*
    Are We All We Are
    Trouble
    Respect

    Lets see what else...
    Lily Allen - Hard Out Here .Lily Allen is amazing in general, check her out. And if you like her songs, check Kate Nash next.

    Though the real question, is what is the kind of music that gets you going? What is your preference? For some people its fast paced rock and roll, others like rap, and some want some hyped up tech beats and synth. I could give you songs left and right but it might not be what you want, you know?

    Personally, I love girl power anthems lol. I love listening to women who are strong and empowering and show it with their music. I also need seriously good beats. Thats why Pink is amazing for me. I get so into the songs my workout is over before I know it.
    Do you have spotify? I can share a few playlists.

    Anything with a strong beat and motivating lyrics :D And no, I don't have Spotify.

    Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, I'll check them all out!

    One of my faves is M.I.A - Bad Girls. And for a slower song (gives me time to catch my breath) I love Reason to Believe by Dashboard Confessional (the first line is "Oh sweet lungs don't fail me now", and the chorus begins with "Breathe, don't you want to breathe?" lol)

    I like 90's-2000's rap--like Dr.Dre/Eminem when I work out.

    The angrier the song is, the more I push myself! Also, Sia for some reason. Her songs make me move more.

    Right now my favorite song to run to is "Birthday" by Katy Perry. Its just happy and upbeat and I put that on repeat and go. Another one I do that to is "We're Going Home" by Drake. I am not a fan of Drake, but it's got a heavy beat that I can run to easily.

    Rob Base's Joy and Pain came on while I was running this morning and it gave me a little burst of energy. I might have done a little dancing through the park! :) I also love It takes two by Rob Base. Beastie Boys and RMC are a couple other favorites. Also love Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machine.
