What are 5 songs that motivate you the most when your exercising?

I listen to mostly rock and roll but when I exercise I like this sort of stuff. I think the beat is easier to walk or run to. Anyhow...

(In no particular order)

1. Sweet Escape-Gwen Stefani
2. Pump It-The Black Eyed Peas
3.Forget You-(I prefer the Gwyneth Paltrow version better)
4. Dog Days Are Over- Florance and the Machine
5.Just The Way You Are- Bruno Mars

    I also listen to rock music, but for working out I find dance music is easier to get going with (and to keep a good rythym to)

    1. Oh My God- Usher
    2. Just Dance- Lady Gaga
    3. Crash- Gwen Stefani
    4. Paralyzer- Finger Eleven
    5. Carryout- Timbaland w/ Justin Timberlake

    First Touch - Modern Walker
    Doktor Deep - Adam Jace
    All Night High - Lisa Shaw
    Ride the Storm - Carl Kennedy Vs MYNC (Hed Kandi: Beach House)
    Shine on - Soda Inc.

    :smile: A lot of what I listen to has no lyrics but a good driving beat that will help you keep a moderate pace during areobics.

    I'm an electro girl myself; usually I have long mixes, but here's some songs I get super pumped to these days:

    o1. Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO.
    o2. S&M, Rihanna [Dave Aude Club Mix]--sounds much better than the original!
    o3. The Show Goes On, Lupe Fiasco.
    o4. Take It Off, Ke$ha.
    o5. Waka Waka [Esto es Africa], Shakira.

    For working out the music has to be upbeat,fast,and a bit crazy.
    I listen to rock more when I'm lifting weights,
    and rnb,electro,dance/trance stuff when I'm doing cardio,but my all time favourites to do anything have to be:

    Illusion (Feat. Sandy Sfaction Version) - Benassi Bros
    Miami 2 Ibiza - Tinie Tempah Feat. Swedish House Mafia
    The Element of One - Killswitch Engage
    Big Sh** Poppin - T.I
    Boom Boom Pow (G.I Joe Version) - Black Eyed Peas

    There are more,but those are the main ones. <3

    I've downloaded Pandora radio to my Android phone. You put in an artist and it will make a playlist of different artists that are similar to the one you entered =)
