    What are your likes?

    My hubby runs to rap... I can't do it. It just doesn't pump me up.

    I run to.. anything rocking.. from Pink to Kid Rock, ACDC, HellYeah, Rob Zombie, Metallica, etc.. if I can get a good beat on it, I run/walk to it.

    I also like a lot of the songs on here.. :) I guess it also depends on what type of workout you're doing.. whether in the gym or on the pavement/trail.

    Oh I'm in need for ideas on this too. I dread long runs when I become bored with my workout playlist... and I get bored very easily...

    Well, to contribute some of my own. So far, I have run to Mumford and Sons, Of Monsters and Men, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Imagine Dragons. Of course, I also get pumped up by all of those "classic" workout songs like Survivor's Eye of the Tiger, Daft Punk's Stronger, and a lot of stuff from Black Eyed Peas.

    And I also listen to the audio version of those motivational videos on Youtube. It's kinda weird, I know, but really who wouldn't want to run to Rocky Balboa's speeches?

    REALLY cool idea! I'm going to try that! I'm all over William Wallace's speeches.

    Much to the chagrin of most of my friends and acquaintances, I stick to rap for working out mostly.

    Current songs I am feeling (in the gym):

    Schoolboy Q - Hell of A Night
    Migos feat. Drake - Versace
    Smoke DZA (prod. Harry Fraud) - Win (hate the rapper but this beat and message always pumps me up)

    Another dude I love to listen to (non rap) in the gym is Girl Talk - a mash up DJ, His last release (All Day) holds down many a gym session (and backyard party for that matter).

    It is a free download (just google it)...you can also stream it here: http://alldaysamples.com/ This site also breaks down each sample as it is being used.

    "Parallel Or Together" - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6D53XWaWFE )

    And my number one all-time favorite go-to song...
