I LOVE listening to my iPod while I workout. I depend on it to keep me going when I am running and I'm tempted to slow down. I have lots of songs with good beats, but lately I've felt the need to spice up my music. (I prefer songs with lyrics) What are everyone's favorite songs to keep you going while you exercise? :glasses:

    All great choices I LOVE "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse. . .Try some metalcore, screamo or post-punk genres! Angry music keeps me rolling and my heart-rate up! I love anything Avenged Sevenfold: "Scream" or "Unholy Confessions" . . .and might I recommend "Congratulations I Hate You" and "Ambrosia" by Alesana. . .If that's a little much, go with Senses Fail "Can't be Saved" or "Lady in the Blue Dress". Anything that rocks out is also ideal for strength training! Keeps me motivated!!!!

    Songs like this - Carrie Underwood
    Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down
    Life of my own - 3 Doors Down
    Happy Girl - Martina McBride
    Can't hold us down - Christina Aguilara
    Shut up and drive - rhianna
    Mostly old ones, but I find myself enjoying them when I the shuffle catches them.

    Panic at Disco's A Fever you Can't Sweat Out and Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. Both these albums, in their entirety, are fantastic to work out to. Good beats!
