in Fitness and Exercise
I'm always looking for good music to motivate me during running (not my favorite exercise). Good, thumping music keeps me moving and makes the time go by.

Care to share your favorites?

    I know it's different than most but I listen to a logic drum and bass or jungle music. The staccato drum riffs or the sinewy bass lines drive my energy level thru the roof. Plus it's a very upbeat fast paced type of music.

    LMFAO Sorry for party rockin', Moves like Jagger, S & M, Toxic. That's for the warm up run.

    I like to listen to stand up comedy for the long run (yep, the retard laughing while running, that's me). Lately I've been listening to Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle and Lewis Black.

    I like "The Show Goes On" by Lupe Fiasco... if I'm in the mood for it, Taio Cruz is okay. Daft Punk is always fun. Oh and I got into Mika for a long time ("Kick *kitten*," "Relax Take it Easy," "Happy Endings"). I can't think of anything else right now.

    I am loving BEP lately, Pump It. It has a great beat to run to. I run to all my Spin music every week - so basically you know my faves. :) I'll point some out to you during class, though. Also, a lot of the stuff I use for our sprints.

    I like to listen to metal while running, I try to imagine they are shouting at me to keep going. It works for me.

    My current treadmill mix is pretty fast-paced and upbeat. A lot of hip hop and songs designed to inspire. I've got Kanye West's "New Workout Plan," Eminem's "Not Afraid" and "'Till I Collapse," Beyonce's "Run the World," Kid Sister, Outkast, TI, MOP. I went online and looked for songs that are fast-paced. A good base or drum line can really get you pumped up to start moving around, and it's good to be able to walk or run to the beat. I find that once I've listened to a fast song, a song that's even a little slower slows me down, so I try to keep everything going at a fast tempo.
