Hey Everyone,
I'm getting bored with the selections I have on my MP3. My question to you is, what do you listen to when you workout? I need some new cardio tunes.

    I usually just pick some of my favorite artists and log on to Pandora...the only drawback is that they throw in a commercial every now and then and they also throw in similar artists even though it might not be the one you chose.
  • Hey. I listen to a lot of pop, dance, hip hop, and dubstep. Some of my favorite artists are lady gaga, pink, Rihanna, Britney spears, Katy perry, Adam lambert, kesha, skrillex, deadmau5, and Nero. I read somewhere that upbeat music helps you workout longer.
  • Here's a few songs that I've been loving while doing cardio!

    1. I Love It - Icona Pop

    2. Just Lose It - Eminem

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dcVOmEQzKA

    3. The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmp6zIr5y4U

    4. Ante Up Remix - Busta Rhymes

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLT68mI5Pwc

    5. Pink Lady - Feed Me (Give it a few seconds for the beat to drop)

    Hope that helps!

    I just use Pandora on my phone as well. Theres also an Android app called fit tunes I think that has a really good selection based on how intense your working out (fast paced vs slower, etc.) I'm now just trying to find some bluetooth headphones so I can get rid of the wire ones.

    I feel like the Black Eyed Peas "THE E.N.D." was MADE for working out. You can press play and listen straight through. I can't really think of other times when I want to listen to it. Beyonce's BDAY is kinda like that also for me. Nothing better to motivate you than the thought of fitting into a "Freakum Dress" Another fav is the Ying Yang Twins. Hope it helps!

    YESSS!!! I second this!! I put Lil Jon radio on and LOSE MY DAMN MIND..lol. I don't necessarily listen to the words or the content, but the beat drives me and really intensifies the workout.
