    Any house or techno music is good for when you wanna get pumped up fast... and if you wanna keep running longer, just listen to pop songs that have a fast beat :) don't listen to slow things... dang it they slow you down! :D

    Can't say that I listen to alot of newer hip-hop. I do like some of LL Cool J. One of my favs is Baby and Control Myself w/ JLO. Pretty upbeat. I also like to listen to some Electronica like Skrillex and Feedme.

    My favorite go to song is not the typical but I swear by it. "A little less Conversation" By Elvis Presley. When I am walking or jogging, it just pumps me up beyond belief. Its about 6 minutes long and the increasing tempo is infectious.

    Don't diss it till you try it. Its empowering and infectious!!!

    You can also try Zumba music or find a Zumba class close to you. This is a great workout and the music is what I use when working out because it is awesome.

    Currently, I am an oldies, juke joint, and blues listener but, I don't know what got in to me yesterday because t I decided to take it back to the 80's and played the following songs below. I was a true hip-hop fanatic when I was in my teenage and 20's life, I am not for sure if this music rings a bell to the younger generation, but you will be surprised when you hear the beat(s) because today's hip hop beats are derived from the songs below:

    1. Looking for the Perfect Beat~~~~Soul Sonic Force
    2. Don't Stop...Planet Rock~~~~~~ Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force
    3. The Ditty ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paperboy
    4. I'm That Type of Guy~~~~~~~~~LL Cool J

    I was swinging my three pound dumbbells in the air (like I just didn't care), and almost starting break dancing on the treadmill. Let's not forget, I nearly fell of the machine because I was stepping and dancing a little faster than the speed of 2.2-2.4...lol. Next thing I knew, I was at one mile in no time. I had to look at the last phone call that I made to my sister to make sure that my 26 minutes were up that quick!

    Anything Reggaetone will work, Beyonce has a lot of fast paced songs that are good for working out, Usher, Ying-Yang twins (just don't listen to the words). Kanye West also has some fast paced songs

    There's a pandora radio station I like called "Dance Cardio" I got a lot of ideas from it. I did buy some tracks.
    + (forgive me if I'm giving you repeated advice) have you looked into http://jog.fm/ it gives you song names based on the BPM.
    I hope this helps you.
    And bumping for the playlists already shared as well. :)

    BPM's! Thanks, Theresmynapki

    jogfm.com is a really good website for picking jogging or walking tunes. You plug in your jogging or walking pace & it gives you the recommended BPM range & a list of songs.

    Faster songs help me keep my pace

    I'm a Geek so this may not be to your liking. These are not "heavy" but they are EPIC so take with a grain of salt.

    I LOVE working out to music Scores. They take me to another world and take my mind off working out/sweating. I play WoW, Skyrim and Diablo III so I envision fighing demons, saving the High Heavens, killing dragons and fighting Gladiators. (I freely admit I'm a Geek and I'm proud of it. I blame my hubby :) )

    My favorite is the group "Two Steps from Hell". They do the music to the movie trailers. They just blow my mind!
    I have so many favorite songs from them it's hard to choose.

    Archangel from their 2011 Nero album is EPIC! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGn5bBaFOfw&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA

    In fact, as I was doing my walking today I didn't realize, until half way into this song, that I was directing! Cars were passing me and I know I looked like a dork. *facepalm*

    Another one of my favorites is "To Glory" from their Invincible album. This reminds me of Gladiator and 300. I see the battle scenes when I listen to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ1GbBlS9wM&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA

    Also "Ocean Princess" from their Nemesis II album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqNRIM2pdaQ&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA

    I can't leave out "United we stand, divided we fall" also from their Nero album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O6Q1OiF6LI&feature=related

    Another group is called "Epic Score". I am in love with "Siren's Call" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NknmpdEEFI&feature=autoplay&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA&playnext=2

    Last is "Future World Music" song "Dream Chasers" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysusZfArPoI&feature=related

    Again, they're not "heavy" music but that makes it no less epic. :)

    Good luck and happy workouts! :)
