I was going to ask this! :happy:

I started jogging on the spot today as I didn't have time to get out for my usual 8 mile walk. I was listening to the radio but the problem was there was too much talking between songs and the songs that were played were usually too slow for me to get a rhythm going.

I want to try more jogging and less walking so I need some pumping music to keep my legs doing the same. :bigsmile:

You look a lot younger than I do, but I grew up listening to the great music of the 70s and 80s. I stopped listening to that genre of music for a while and listened to contemporary Christian music exclusively. I recently decided to download a few tunes and it brought back memories. I've since downloaded tunes by Earth, Wind, and Fire, Prince, Rick James, Gap Band, Donna Summer, Janet Jackson, just to name a few. Try some of those songs you really liked when you were younger that remind you of the happy times of days gone by.

Great posts!!! I was running the other day and a slower song came on, instantly I was running slower. So for me faster songs keep me running without slowing down.

Only Girl by Rihanno (my favorite)

I invested in a Motoactv by Motorola. It's a GPS sportswatch that has a built in MP3 player. The neat thing is that once you load your music on, it'll "tag" songs that you tend to pick up your pace to and create a "fitness playlist" for you. Takes a few runs for it to figure out which songs motivate you, but I think it's a great feature....just when I feel myself slowing down, it'll play something that picks me right up.

I start off with "Speedy Gonzalez" and end up with "walking After Midnight"

If this old school song doens't get you up and running then there's something wrong here.

It's perfect when you are just launching into a long straight stretch.

Spencer Davis Group - I'm a Man - a song from back in the day when men were men and were proud of it!

I tend to stream my local radio station (89xradio.com) for alternative rock. But I do have a playlist for when poor reception makes streaming not possible. It consists mostly of the songs 89X plays anyway. I have noticed that Kid Rock's peppier stuff has a good running beat. And Gangnam style is great and makes me smile LOL.
