    Black-Eyed Peas!! I make work out playlists and try to match the tempo of the song to where i'll be in the workout (warm-up, burn, cool-down). Pump it by Black-Eyed Peas is awesome when you're in the most intense part of your work out. Katy Perry and Beyonce are also good motivators, and I like to add in more classic rock things like Queen and Bon Jovi.

    I usually listen to Pandora or an audio-book. While I like having the beat of music to help keep me going, I've noticed lately that getting lost in a good book really makes the time go by faster.

    I was a teen in the 80' I love the 80's pop classics. I listen to my music when I am walking. Hearing it makes me remember those days and puts a smile on my face!!!

    :bigsmile: I am an 80's child too!!! Most of my playlist is made up of 80's music... especially rock!

    this is somewhat camp BUT - I listen to a lot of the Glee songs on my phone when I'm in the gym! Anything uptempo - i've just got the new Nicole Sherzinger (spelling?) album and loads of the tracks on that are really good up tempo numbers so they help me going as well :)

    But gotta love the glee tunes lol.

    I am definitely an 80's music girl, but love some country, alternative, hip hop and classic rock!! Anything that makes me feel good and keeps me motivated to step it up and finish my workouts!! Definitely gotta love the Glee songs!!
  • Anything with a strong beat... something I can time my moves and steps with without straining myself!
    Usually it's melodic trance... but when I'm particularly melancholic about my weight and want to be extra motivated, I put on metal and kick my booty harder :D

    took the words right out of my mouth - saying that I do normally mouth along while on the treadmill running (between gasping for air like a fish). I think it's cause deep down - i'm a little diva that is DYING to get out!!

    Love it, we all got a little diva in us!!!
  • Beyonce's "B-day"! Lots of up tempo songs that help my work-out go by quickly!

    Haha! I love that CD and Get Me Bodied is my FAVORITE!

    I also love Disturbed, Nickelback, and other hard rock stuff I ripped from my hubby's iTunes.

    Prodigy!!! and Crystal method. I use Pandora too. I reject almost everything that isn't Prodigy or Crystal Method so that's pretty much all it plays now.
    I also like driving to Prodigy. I usually drive to a staircase that I like to run up so I resist the urge to play Prodigy until I get out of the car so I get all excited once I start moving my butt.
    Gotta be careful with the driving Prodigy. With my car it's easy to accidently hit 100mph before the onramp even runs out.

    My own mix of music on my cell. It's full of fun hip-hop upbeat stuff (Low by Flo-Rider, Whatever you want by TI, Summertime by New Kids, Yeah by Usher)... anything that makes me want to dance :) Typically I love country music but I just can't work out to that! haha

    Black Eyed Peas. Even if you're not normally into their music, their beats and upbeat tempo really get you going. You can't stop yourself from moving when you hear songs like "Pump It". They're great for the gym.
