For those of you that listen to a media device while exercising, do you have one or more songs that get you pumped or just boost your motivation when you start getting tired? What are they?

    "Rock Island Line" by Johnny Cash really gets me moving when I am the Arc Trainer or Treadmill.

    I listen to Pandora's 90's or Top Hits and occasionally I will listen to 80's Throwback (90's Comeback) !

    Missy-

    I was finally able to listen to my music again in the gym. As I stated earlier, I really rev up to Rock Island Line, but I also found picking up the pace to some old 80's punk music.

    Have you ever heard of the Hoodoo Gurus? They were from Australia.

    I was also listening some great, fast-paced Irish reels with the fiddle and bagpipes. I know that doesn't sound likely in a online thread, but it's hard for me to even stand still when I play them. I highly recommend Gaelic Storm and Beth Patterson.

    I've never heard of any of those. I'll look them up on you tube when I have a chance. I just started listening to Lemony Snicket on audio books. Those make the time pass by nicely.
