in Motivation and Support
Looking to add some new stiff to my iPod shuffle. Hoping you might share 5 or 6 songs that really get you pumped to workout.... I was also thinking it might be fun / good to give your age.....

OK, so here are my most motivating songs to workout to, in order:

1. Bawaitadawba - Kid Rock
2. Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
3. No Sleep til Brooklyn - Beastie Boys
4. Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J
5. Superstition - Widespread Panic with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band
6. Fat Bottom Girls - Queen ( one of my all time favorite songs, and yes, I married a fat bottomed girl! )

And I'm 50 years old, and probably the biggest 50 year old fan there is of Kid Rock......

    All I wanna do ... Cheryl Crow
    Start me up... Stones
    Momentum... Aimee Mann
    Too Much... Dave Matthews

    and just about anything by the BareNaked Ladies or George Clinton, because after a zillion plays I still don't know all the words.
