I have the Foo Fighters greatest hits downloaded as well as their new album, I turned it all into one playlist. I love it. I also have another playlist with exericse tunes, but I got kind of bored of it. I do find myself playing air drums while I am running though, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I don't know what kind of music you listen to but I have AC/DC "Money Talks", Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar on Me", the intro to "Paradice City" by Guns-N-Roses, "Kiss" by Prince, Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins "Hillbilly Bone", Meradith Brooks "*****", and Eminem "Lose Yourself" on one of my playlists. It is a very wide array of music but they all get me moving Good luck with your weight loss journey.

I always listen to something with a good beat, it gets me going! I usually listen to remixes, mash-ups, electronic/dance music, and even some of those cheesy 80's songs.

Good luck! :happy:

Party Rock Anthym - LMFAO; S&M - Rhianna; If We Ever Meet Again - Timbaland ft Katy Perry; Like A G6 - Far East Movement; Born This Way - Lady Gaga....those are just a few that get me moving. I try to find songs with a real upbeat tempo...hope this helps some.

We have the same taste in music!

I also like a little old school White Zombie, Human to be exact. That song gets me going.

Music is a big deal to me in all aspects of my life, but in exercise it is a must. I had Glee on today while on the treadmill and found myself turning it up several notches when they were singing songs I like.
