I have always been a country music type person. However I have noticed that country music really slows me down on my workouts. My daughter who is 18 said Mom listen to these songs:
Stronger - Mandisa
Good Morning -Mandisa
Waiting for Tomorrow -Mandisa
Give Me Everything -Rihanna
Climb-Hannah Montana

I actually enjoyed the upbeat and the songs kept me motivated. However those 5 songs play a total of 3-5 times when I am working out. I am looking for newer upbeat songs. Please suggest some songs

    well I can't say these are 'newer' but I find them upbeat for me and keep me going. Juke Box Hero by Foreigner, Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leopard, Working in a Coal Mine, DEVO,
    Billy Ocean - Loverboy, Lucky Man and Caribbean Queen, Here comes the rain again - Eurythmics and the Sweet Dreams are made of this. And gotta mix some Pat Bennetar and Joan Jett into the mix... And once in awhile I will sneak in a gentle rock and roll song (called elevator music today). I hae quite the taste in music - everything from Disney, Country, Rock, Classic Rock, Disco to Yanni and Metalica. and the years in between!!!

    Gods! I'm addicted to music while working out. I have separate playlists for weights, running and stretching, all with different tempos and weight depending on what I want to be doing. Each playlist is a few hours long so I always have some variety. Here are some for you, if you're looking for new sounds :)

    My running dope music is mostly upbeat and bubblegum-like, oldschool stuff

    Waka waka/ This time for Africa (Shakira)
    Can't buy me love (The Beatles)
    Bat out of Hell (Meatloaf)
    Mambo no. 5 (Lou Bega)
    Dr. Jones (Aqua)
    Objection (Shakira)
    Sexy and I know it (LMFAO)
    Feuer Frei (Rammstein)
    Out of Space (The Prodigy)


    My weights :

    Gasolina (Yankee Daddy)
    Spitfire (The Prodigy)
    Seven nation army (The white Stripes)
    Bad Romance (Lady Gaga)
    DARE (Gorillaz)
    Harder Better Faster Stronger (Daft Punk)
    19-2000 (Gorillaz)
    Satisfaction (Benny Benassi / Ministry of Sound)

    And Stretching :

    Praise you (Fatboy Slim)
    Sympathy for the devil (The Rolling Stones)
    Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz)
    Killer Queen (Queen)

    Hope it helps :)
