    If I'm at the gym, it's usually a pop/dance mix with variations on the theme of "hot chick," like Sexy and I Know It, Sexy B*tch, Moves Like Jagger, Low, Right Round, On the Floor, etc.

    If I'm running, it's up-tempo alternative with bands like the Foo Fighters, Muse, The Black Keys, Dropkick Murphys, Weezer, The Killers, Foster the People, Young the Giant (My Body is an AWESOME song for when you're pushing hard... "my body tells me no, but I won't quit, 'cause I want more"), Beck, Franz Ferdinand, etc.

    Pandora has an Alternative Endurance station that's pretty good, too. Lots of The Fratellis.

    Anything upbeat...DMX (whole first CD), Pitbull & Eminem, Buck Cherry...basically anything upbeat with great bass and a driving beat or slick lyrical delivery.

    nice picks in music, and better pics, your transformation is an inspiration, good for you.
    Thanks bruh, I am trying to look like you though! Great job man!

    I'm a child of the 80s and my work out music shows it. AC/DC, Def Leppard, and so many more. My favorite motivating one right now is Good Vibrations...ahh, Marky Mark...

    I like anything Eminem, Linkin Park, Jay z, and my favorite of all time is Requim of a Dream - beastly beat that forces you to run as if you are running for your life:)
