Looking to add more to my mp3 player so I thought I'd see what all of you are using to funk up your workouts. What's your top 5 workout songs?

Mine are: I get knocked down - Chumbawumba
Angelina - Wax Ecstatic
Faded - Soul Decision
Gimme the microphone - Hawksley Workman
Butterfly - Crazytown

Thanks for any ideas!

    I'm more of a rock and roll girl :-) But for some reason the hip hop stuff makes me move faster!!! I like Pitbull and I have a ton of Lady GaGa!!

    Just Like a Pill - Pink
    Face Down - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
    Knock You Down - Keri Hillson
    Dirty Little Secret - All American Rejects
    And not to be all cheesy, but it really does work for me: Survivor - Eye of the Tiger aka ROCKY SONG *LOL*

    I'm going to bump this for later as I'm trying to get a play list together for more motivation - also try downloading '101 Running Songs' compilation album - there are some great tunes on there to get you pumping! :happy:

    It's amazing how much music effects our workouts. For me personally, it would be so hard to get a good workout without music. I don't really have five favorites, but I like to listen to latin music. I recently downloaded Ultimate Latin Workout. Some of my favorites are:
    Bring Me to Life - Evanescence
    Calabria 2008 - Enur ft. Natasja
    Crank That Travis Barker Remix (is great for adding a lot of resistance)
    Naturally - Selena Gomez
    In the Cage - Genesis

    I like Eye of the Tiger too!

    Shake ya Tailfeather (Nelly)

    OK kids now you get to hear from an old lady!! On my C25K playlists I have Meat Loaf(you should see people look at me when I they ask me how I am losing my weight and I say Meat Loaf!) His songs All Reved up, Paradise, and you took the words right out of my mouth. Then I have some Jimmy Buffet, Surfin in a Hurricane, Fruitcakes, , etc....you get the picture. Fun, upbeat old stuff. And of course just a couple of fast Willie Nelson, and one or two Ricky Martin. Oh my am I old!! And Strange!!
