Tonight I went to Eminem's concert. Love him or hate him, he hasn't been to Australia in 10 years and I thought it was absolutely AMAZING!

What I love most about Eminem's music is that whenever I'm exercising his songs are all I listen to, he's made my ultimate work out tracks! If I hear one of the songs I regularly listen to when I'm on a run it triggers exercise just as quickly as a bite of a Snicker's leads to a whole bar gone.

(Another thing I noticed at the concert is how much rapping makes you sweat - wonder if he logs that as exercise? lol).

So the question is: What music hypes you up and makes you want to exercise?And if Eminem is included - you should DEFINITELY add me as a friend!

    For me it's just what kind of mood I'm in, some days it's 80's, some days metal, some days rap. I love Eminem too.

    AGREED! "Lose Yourself" is THE best song to work out to if you need motivation! It builds slowly, but that last verse (one of the best verses of all time by anyone, in my humble opinion!) gets me going!! It's one of the best songs I use to hype myself up when I'm on that last part of the workout and I don't feel like moving anymore. So here I go, here's my shot, feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity I've got!!" Love it!

    Been listening to Eminem too (I really do "lose myself in the moment" while working out). Lately I can't get enough of Drake's "Make Me Proud" thrown in the mix. I feel like he's talking to me while I'm on the elliptical :)

    I'm so happy I'm not the only one who's such a big fan!

    @ MîîśÊmÿ� - Yay!!! another long-term fan! I definitely recommend seeing him live if he's ever in your town. A good beat is important with work out music. I was into David Guetta's Titanium for a while (but it got old so quick)

    @LynnMPip - 'Till I collapse is amazing. It's tradition to always start my work out with that song!

    @PuddyKat1026 - Nothings better than getting caught up in music when you're exercising! I like that Drake song too, especially Nicki's part.

    @Torange - YES I agree 100%!! Lose yourself is my go-to song when I'm exhausted and can't move anymore. He ended the concert with Lose Yourself and I almost fainted! haha

    @Iamfit4life - I wish we had that station here, I haven't heard of it before but thanks for telling me - It'd be interesting to see if I can somehow stream it

    @_beachgirl_ - yep! definitely depends on my mood as well. I had to use a different MP3 player last week and switched to rock for a while, alternating keeps me motivated! But I still need to always include one Em' song

    Yes... I listen to this song all the time... either when running. Or I put it on just before I start my last set of exercises for the day... it really gets me through that last push I need!

    One of my favorites is " won't back down" with Pink. I'll put that on when I'm on the last stretch of my run and I'm like the wind. Love it.

    Slim Shady is awesome! I went to his anger management tour in back on '03. His sobriety actually inspired me and i haven't had alcohol since Dec 22, 2010. I also find it much easier to maintain/loose weight without drinking.

    This one always comes on about 20 miles into my long run. It definitely makes me push through, I need to add it a few more times for those last six miles!

    I loooooove Eminem! haven't really been working out to him though - I should add him to my playlist! Right now I'm going for a lot of songs by Pitbull and LMFAO... a little sexy and a little humor to get me through lol!
