Do you have any music that you listen to when your running/exercising?
What do you listen to get you 'pumped' and wanting to move/dance/work out?

    It doesn't matter to me. I dance to elevator music (if no one else is in the elevator!!! ;). I would mention some titles, but I do not know the names of all these songs I respond to.
    Even singing and clapping hands to music uses up calories.
    What is your favorite music? Does it have a peppy beat? (Yes, 'peppy' is a word that old people use. ;)
    It is the thrill of simply moving to any music. Pretend you are a dancer on a Broadway stage. Your life is movement. That gets your heart pumping before you even move!
    Have fun.

    Music with a fast beat, and good bass. Generally techno music but something that will keep my mind off the workout..
    Madonna - Revolver (David Guetta Remix)
    Inna - Hot
    Sidney Sampson ft. Lady Bee - Shut Up and Let It Go
    Sirens - Don't Let Go (Simon de Jano Remix)
    all of which can be found on youtube :)

    I love listening to music when I work out. I make a new playlist every couple of weeks to change it up. My playlist right now includes some old school J.Lo (haaaa), a mix of the Billboards Top Songs. I actually go to Billboards List and get some songs to add to my playlist. You could probably find something there. :)

    Podcasts!!! I love stuff with the BPM included so I can stay on my running targets.

    All of the "Motion Traxx"
    "Podcasts for Running"
    "Podrunner Intervals"

    Try some Fat Boy Slim remixes. My favourite is Kung Fu Fighting. When Dove's Cry is also really good. Also, Ke$ha is really good music to workout to. Or Panic at the Disco's It's Time to Dance. I need really upbeat music with high bpm, such as techno and dance but I also like it recognizable, like the Fat Boy Slim remixes.

    I've started walking and find that when I listen to some upbeat music I can also shake my bootie a little as I walk (a form of dancing for me too lol) and this helps me, I listen to R n B so I tend to have things like Fat Man Scoop - Put your hands up , the remix and my friend recently did a remix of some ragga tunes with Sean Paul, Bennie Man and a few others, I'll try and find out the names so I can add them and I find that this just gets me going I even forget the distance I have to walk.
    If you can get on your ipod/mp3/mp4 some things like Rihanna - Pom de replay, fat man scoop, some reggae is also good, and some old school music does work wonders for me...........but then again I'm an old skool girl at heart!!!:happy:
