      It's kind of old school but, I love "Talk Dirty to Me" by Poison. The rhythm is perfect for my stride!

      I listen to Pandora when I work out and today "Don't Stop The Party" by Pitbull came on and I rocked it out! Try that one. Also a favorite of mine is "Blackout"by Breathe Carolina.

      Anything Punk Goes Pop, especially volumes 2 and 5. Lights Out by Breaking Benjamin is definitely my rage song for workouts, though.

      If you go to mixcrate.com Its a website for Dj's that put together mixes you you can select the genre that you like and they will have a bunch of downloadable mixes that are normally 60 mins long. That way you don't have to download a bunch of individual songs.

      I have the most random, eclectic running playlist ever... from Eminem to the Beatles, from P!nk to Queen, from Weird Al Yankovic to Elvis Costello... LOL ... I really just love running to any song that pushes me to keep going just a little further or a little faster!

      Great website for finding the right BPM (beats per minute) .... you plug in your running (walking) speed .... it gives you a list of songs. You can even sort by genre

      If you have a smartphone, get Pandora or Fitradio (or JogFM if you have an iphone). On Pandora, look for their workout station, it is awesome. That is what I run to all the time.

      I have a mix but I LOVE Rage Against The Machine for running :D

      My #1 fave is "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" by Drowning Pool - I try to set up my playlist so that this one plays halfway through my last run (I'm doing C25K so I'm still doing run/walk/run/walk). I swear when that song comes on I can not stop running!

      My second fave is "The Pit" by Silver Sun Pickups - I like to start with that one.

      I have an odd mix and they are currently set to how my jogs go.
      Warm up (gets me pumped up to run):
      The Wind-Zac Brown Band
      Mama's Broken heart- Miranda Lambert

      I am jogging in intervals so it's pretty mixed:

      Cocaine Blues- Johnny Cash
      Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood
      Hell - Squirrel Nut Zippers
      Right Round -Flo Rida (This one comes on during my most difficult runs, it pushes me)
      Stupid Girls-P!nk
      Bawitdaba - Kid Rock
      Trouble - Pink
      My Sweet One - Phish

      Then I cool down with a little Toes- ZBB
      Gin Soaked Boy- Tom Waits
      My Wild Love- The Doors

      Anything by The Offspring - nothing like 90's grunge to give a little pump.

      Also, guilty pleasure - Gimme More by Britney Spears

      One of my favourite running songs that just came on randomly on my iPod one day and is now a definite on my playlist was "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age.

      My Body - Young the Giant

      The chorus pumps me up " My Body tells me no, but I won't quit Cause I want more, cause I want more"

      I would recommend using "8tracks.com" you can get an app for you blackberry/iphone/android. its user created playlists for EVERYTHING (working out, partying, relaxing, crying, celebrating, etc).

      I listen to all types of music (literally everything), but a good "power song" I use when im slacking or about to quit a run is "Monster" by Kanye West. it just gives me that extra boost.

      I love hardstyle and heavy dubstep to run to. It has the perfect tempo Reverze - A different Story, and anything by Knife Party, I love their songs Rage Valley, and Destroy them With Lasers. Also Datsik has got some great stuff on his Vitamin D album. Oh and Bassnectar's Hot Right Now.

      I like "I'm sexy and I know it" and "Raise your Glass" plus anything by the black eyed peas. I am usually a country girl but I like something with a faster beat when I'm working out.

      This is Gonna Hurt by Sixx A.M.
      Let Me Hear You Scream by Ozzy
      I Don't Wanna Stop by Ozzy

      Not sure if this has already been said, but there is something about LMFAO's "Party Rock" that makes me run faster! I also listen to soundtrack movie songs (i.e. "Gladiator", "The Avengers") that inspires me to keep moving.

      "Talking Hotel Arbat Blues" by the Handsome Furs
