in Fitness and Exercise
I find music really helps "set the stage"; for working out, I haven't found a good music list, so I thought I would rely on your expertise ;)
I REALLY don't care for country music and prefer more rock or 90's alternative. Can anyone share their list with me?

    Load up Pandora....create a station using Skrillex. Dub step is wonderful for working out.

    Cobra Style by Robyn is fantastic. One of my fave songs to workout to.
    Paper Planes (Diplo Street Remix)
    Tokyo Drift (from fast and furios tokyo drift)
    Everytime We Touch (cascada)
    Anne are you ok
    Breaking the Habit (don't know who it's by)
    Houdini (foster the people)
    Raise your glass (pink)
    Try Honesty (billy talent I THINK)

    This might sound strange but also a lot of songs from the movie Burlesque (which was a terrible movie, horrid acting and terribly cliche!) but the songs make you feel really sexy and so ever though they aren't often terribly fast beated it makes you want to work out harder!

    I make regular DJ mixes for the club I run, that are at just around the right BPM for cardio. Download link available on the mixcloud page :)http://www.mixcloud.com/mikepony/equine-rave-mix-oct-2012/
