What type of music do you listen to when you workout (if you do). I really really really want to expand my play list, so do you have any favourites at all that you'd like to share with me? :D

    I love upbeat disney songs. I find they put me in such a good mood, and they're fun to sing along with!!

    Other than that, I have a notebook in my purse so I can write down a song if I hear it out.
    I scour the fitness sites, and google "work out songs".

    Other than disney I listen to music I love which is country, pop, rock, punk, and rap!

    Good music certainly can keep you motivated. Even for walking I find a good beat can help to keep a fast pace. Most of the stuff I listen to is Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, and would you believe - the Beatles! Bee Gees and even the latest soundtrack to Les Mis is good

    I find it funny but the music I listen to in the car, at home, at work, is NOT the music I listen to at the gym.
    And it's stuff I probably NEVER would have gotten into if I didn't start working out.

    A few of my recent favourites;

    Love in Motion - SebastiAn
    Heartbreaker - MSTRKRFT Feat John Legend
    Warrior - Kimbra
    You Used to Hold Me - Calvin Harris
    Sweet Nothing - Florence & The Machine ft. Calvin Harris
    Hollywood - RAC feat Penguin Prison

    I also like a lot of Daft Punk, K-os, Empire of The Sun and Passion Pit

    I love working out to The Grey Album. It's a mix done by Dj Mighty Mouse that combines The Beatles White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album....very awesome!

    I've worked out to Basshunter before. Pretty awesome dance music. It really gets you in an upbeat mood which is necessary for a workout!

    Shinedown, Nickeback, or I just shuffle whatever I have on my Iphone. I do like to set myself a goal with songs though. For example, Diamond Eyes by Shinedown is rougly 5 minutes, so I try to run for 5 minutes.

    Hard, fast and rythmic. I have found several tracks by KMFDM keep me going and no matter what mood I'm in when I go for a walk "Burning Inside" By Ministry sends me into a jog... and I can't even really jog. lol

    Some tracks on my playlist:

    "looking for strange" by KMFDM
    "Be Free" El Dolrado (The Perfect Trance)
    "Megalomaniac" KMFDM
    "Mimosa" Psychedelic Sterio
    "Toonmowi Tree" Deya Dova (Kayla Scintilla Remix)
    "Shlomsky" Heyoka

    i listen to upbeat pop music and po-prock music at the gym. since the beats are fast paced and catchy, i find that that genre keeps me going more-so than alternative rock,my favorite genre and what i listen to most of the time.

    I have been listening to a lot of Daft Punk off their Alive 2007 album. Really fast paced for getting pumped when doing cardio.

    Seriouslyyyy everyone should check out Pop Danthology 2012 on YouTube, and there's a free download on Facebook under Daniel Kim music. It's an 8 minute mash up of 50 popular songs, the beat is so awesome, I can workout to it without thinking of the pain I'm putting my body through once!

    I listen to a variety of music styles when i workout. If I want to be really intense,I listen to metal. My favourite metal/hard rock band is SOAD. They were really good. I may listen to Rotting Christ but not very often.

    I listen to RNB style songs as well. I like Ciara. She has 2 songs I love listening when I work out. First one is called "WORK" and the other one is "Gimme dat". I also like Nicole Scherzinger. Try "Whatever you Like" and any other PCD song.
