Looking for some good tunes for my runs at the gym. The treadmill can be so super boring. Any suggestions?

    jog.fm is a really great site. You can plug in how fast your pace is, and they'll give you a list of songs that are on tempo with your pace.

    I personally really like Pandora's Dance Cardio station (if you have access from the gym)

    I just use my mp3 - and load it with faster songs. Some of my faves:

    Just about anything by KARMIN (look at me now, i told you so, hello, crash your party, etc)
    I like Toby Mac (anything from Eye on It album)
    And my newest faves I"m just discovering = Reach Records - Lecrae (just like you), Andy Mineo (AYO), Tedeshii & Lacrae (Dum Dum).
    My most favorite is "In His Image" by Pro & Andy Mineo but I-tunes & Amazon don't have it... so I'm bummed that I can only get it on youtube and not for my mp3.

    Books from audible.com. The story distracts me from thinking about how much I hate cardio.

    This!

    I also love anything by Girl Talk and some Wiz Khalifa. The tempo of Girl Talk keeps me going, and Wiz gives me a kind of eff-yeah! feeling/motivation.

    Lately I've been hooked on Lindsey Sterling. Rock violin. Totally unexpected but I heard her on a cover of "Radioactive" that she did with the acapella band Pentatonix, and went looking for more of her music. It is calming and energizing at the same time, perfect for a run!

    There's an app called Fit Radio that's free to download. It has different playlists and genres to choose from. Kind of like Pandora, but no slow songs.

    For my cardio I usually do like Dance/Club music
    Legs Day is ALWAYS hardcore alternative (angry music)
    the rest of my days are a good mix of whatever pop music is out there.

    Love the Bangles. In fact I have a couple of their 2000's albums. Great retro beat and yet very energizing!
