What songs on your exercise playlist motivate you to push harder and power you through your workouts? Looking for some songs to add to my powerwalking/running playlist.

    I obviously need to get my mind out of the gutter...yeah. ...

    Ok, but for workouts, it all depends on my mood, or for what kind of music YOU like. Me...I like hard rock/metal. Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot, and Rancid's upbeat music always gets me in the 'mood'. Sometimes if I'm wanting a more relaxed workout (like for a run on a dirt road) I'll go for more classic rock like Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Bad Company....the list is endless here.

    Big fan of metal music and hard rock as well! I really like that song, but currently do not have that on my workout playlist. Need to add that. I also like techno/danceable music when working out. Gets me pumped up and ready to go.

    Eric Prydz - Call On Me

    It's sort of ridiculous but I can seriously listen to this song on a loop and do some intense cardio.

    If you have never heard this song just watch the video:

    LOVE Slipknot, I have seen them three times in concert. Great job catching my wit in the title. Going to add some more of them to my playlist, thanks. Zeppelin is a good choice as well, never thought of adding them. Thanks!

    I love all kinds of music depending on my mood- Hard/Classic Rock like Slipknot, AC/DC, Korn, Disturbed, Zeppelin, NIN, etc... and then I sometimes like certain Lady Gaga, Rhianna, JLo, etc and i'm digging the Moves Like Jagger song :)

    My most frequently used playlist for running has songs by: Sublime, Belly, The Breeders, KoRn, Ministry, Pantera, Screaming Trees....along with a bunch of Tool and APC.

    I tend to run faster when Tool, Korn or Pantera are playing...and slower when Belly or SC is.

    I've mostly been listening to MP3 books lately, though.

    I am the same way. I have some of these artists on my current playlist, but need to add some other ones from these artist. I am pretty diverse with my music choices. Going to add the Moves Like Jagger song today. We did that one for the first time in Zumba on Tuesday and it was a great song for dancing. Thanks for reminding me about that song and some of these artists.

    Lots of Pitbull... I fantasize about being on one of his videos. :wink:

    Couldn't agree more about Pitbull - his songs (and songs by other artists that he's featured on) are probably the MAIN component of my playlists!

    I don't think I've ever fantasized about being in one of his videos, though! :wink:
