My Top 5 Favorite Workout Songs

arikaaverett

I don't know about you but I am constantly looking/listening for new workout and motivational music. When I'm trying to hit up the gym at least 5 times a week my music tends to get repetitive. I want to know what your favorite workout songs are MFP users!

These are my top 5 favorite songs (the ones I could never get sick of).

1. Straight Lines by Silverchair (great for running. Keeps the legs going)

2. If Not Now, When by Incubus (the title alone is motivational)

3. Party Rock Anthem (ok this song has been on the radio no-stop but the beat is sick)

4. Jai Ho! by A.R. Rahman ft The *****cat Dolls

5. Doo Wop by Lauren Hill

Honorable mentions:
Believe-Cher
Don't Stop the Music-Rihanna
The Distance-Cake

Glad to see this thread - I'm always looking for good running songs. Leaders of the Free World (Elbow) came on my ipod the other day and it was the perfect song for my stride- Been looking for more ever since! I love Beat Surrender (Paul Weller) too.
If anyone knows of a simple app for measuring beats per minute I'd love to hear about it!

Poker Face is the best song in the world to do your sit ups to. The beat is perfect for them!! Whenever I hear it no matter where I am I start squeezing my abs in lol.

I don't really have any song recs, but I usually use Pandora radio or AOL radio on my iPod. I'll tune it to the reggaeton station, or recently, I've gotten into the Punk/New Wave station on Pandora. Keeps me going a lot.

But I've also realized that Fall Out Boy songs are great to jog to.
