Hey!
I guess all of you know the importance of the beat in music and I've realize that I burn much more calories the days the music has a high rhytm.

What songs would you recommend me? I need help, please!

Thanks!

    Outkast- B.O.B. ALWAYS gets me going!
    And other music I wouldn't normally listen to, like Top 40 music.
    Firework- Katy Perry
    50 Cent
    Paul Oakenfold
    P!nk

    I would suggest The Firebird Band and The Prairie Cartel.

    Also, if you have a Mac, there is a piece of software call Tangerine that will categorize your library by BPM. It's $25, but if that is something that is important to you, it may be worth it.

    Yet another reason I want a Mac. This sounds like a really great program, because I try to find songs with a BPM over 140 for my cardio, but find that I only have a limited number of them. I wonder if there is anything similar for us old-fashioned PC users, lol.

    I just bought a couple of "The Biggest Loser" work out cd's with top 40 remixes that seem to be ok. They were only $5 each so cheap enough! I also like Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga - anything with a good beat to keep me moving!

    Agreed with a lot of the above! :) Some good ones for me lately are:

    Born This Way - Lady Gaga
    Thriller/Heads Will Roll - Mashup from GLEE a week or two ago (it was awesome)
    Touch - Natasha Bedingfield
    Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz
    My Name is Jonas/Pork and Beans - Weezer (for a good push - I think both of these are quite a bit above 140 bpm)
