I like really upbeat music. Pop, R&B and Rock/Britpop usually works best for my work outs. I'm looking for suggestions because my usual 25 song playlist is getting pretty old. What works for you? How often do you update your gym playlist? Do you have playlists for specific things (running and weight training, etc)?

    I subscribe to a free podcast. It's called PODRUNNER and they have the beats per minute listed in the name of each track. They also do intervals music where the bmp changes throughout the track . I have an automatic download subscription on iTunes. If you use something else for your music the website is here: http://www.djsteveboy.com/podrunner.html

    i've never heard of podrunner - but it sounds awesome! i'm definitely going to check it out.

    i find a lot of Damian Marley jams have good running beats, and always wanna make me stop running and skank to his music too! lol - whatta mental image. I use pandora, which is pretty awesome. but the ads are getting ridiculous for the "free" version. although they only allot something like 40 hours of free music play/month - and i always go over that, which only incurs a charge of $0.99 at that but point, but still a pain in the butt.

    but yeah! music + running is awesome! :drinker:

    Depends what i'm doing. For distance running i like the chemical brothers. for intervals i prefer the prodigy. for weights i quite like silence.

    The Gogos ! We got the beat, really great song with a beat that sets your pace ! Also, single ladies by beyonce (duh!) even though the hand gestures tend to make you look like an idiot ( but who cares ! ) and for a first song, the kind that sets the pace gently is the glee version of Hairspray's You can't stop the beat
