    For me, it depends on how intense I want to go. I have some rock songs on my iPod that get me in the zone for just pumping it out on cardio. I try and push as hard as I can for an entire song. Some examples are:
    -Stupify by Disturbed
    -Down with the Sickness by Disturbed
    -Last Resort - Papa Roach
    -Getting Away with Murder by Papa Roach
    -Awake by Godsmack
    -Bodies by Drowning Pool
    -Pain by Three Days Grace

    Anything with a good beat helps me when working out. I have about 90 songs in my Work Out play list and they range anywhere from country, rap, hip-hop, pop, rock. I have artists like 50 Cent, Linkin Park, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Black Eyed Peas... as I said... anything with a good beat I enjoy listening to during my work outs (especially cardio).

    You just have to find what you enjoy listening to and working out to. I do know that having a good list of songs to listen to helps me. I can't stand working out without music.

    Good luck!

    techno ish hip hop stuff is my favorite because you can really get into the beat, especially when running.
    bring the noise-benny benassi
    satisfaction-club remix
    are both really good and there over 6 minutes each, helps time go by

    If it wasnt for Winamp and there shoutcast radio and other unlimited choices My workout on my gazzle would suffer. ( dance and techo) For a intence workout I like Techno,,, or as my son calls it robot rock.
    for moderate I just go with anything by The Crystal Method or Chemical brothers. You need a steady beat to keep up the pace.
