    There are so many great songs! I love "Bodies" by Drowning Pool for lifting weights. Its also a raunchy/ dirty song but "Bad Dog" by Neon Hitch really gets me going on the treadmill. I think I have over 100 songs on my play list for the gym!

    Don't be embarrassed! I think we all have songs that we wouldn't "normally" listen to, but they give us the drive to SHAKE IT!
    :happy:

    What embarrasses me is trying to keep myself from singing out loud while I'm on the eliptical! :embarassed:

    I have been caught singing on the treadmill! I actually got caught up in a song and was doing a fist pump while I walking on the treadmill when I almost lost balance and fell. It was hilarious but I learned my lesson! lol And no need to be ashamed of Metro Station. I however am ashamed of loving Ke$ha for the gym...

    Great choices....I don't know what it is about the music. Yesterday, I listened to the same old songs the first thirty minutes of my walk and the songs I listened to on the next 20 minutes, ended up being more upbeat and I burned 317. The treadmill was set on a lower speed and I burned more calories in less time. Music makes a huge difference.
