in Fitness and Exercise
I've just started my weight loss lifestyle change and I am feeling great! but I desperately need some new music. I used to be really into music of all genres (except country) and lately i've been so busy i haven't kept up with new songs/artists.. I figure we can share our playlists and maybe find some new tunes to run to.

My top 3 songs to work out to right now are:

- I'm not okay (i promise) - by my chemical romance
- Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus
- Want U Back - Cher Lloyd

    I like certain pop music that have a pretty good tempo or have upbeat lyrics, so here are some songs that I have enjoyed listening to during my workouts.

    Time To Pretend - MGMT (probably my favorite workout song at the moment)
    A Real Hero - College & Electric Youth
    Seein' Red - Unwritten Law
    Lights Out - Santigold
    Winter Beats - I Break Horses (kind of a softer song, but has a great tempo)
    Stronger - Kelly Clarkson
    Die Young - Ke$ha
    I Gotta Feeling - Blackeyed Peas

    recently added:
    Feel Again - One Republic (starts out slow, but something about it gets me fired up)
    Party Hard - Andrew W K
    Epic Holiday - Angles & Airwaves
    Up and Go - The Starting Line

    You can't really go wrong with Ke$ha or Pitbull. I also like some heavy metal, I particularly enjoy running to The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson. I find harder "yelly" metal is really great for lifting. And, this is totally off the wall, but Kid Rock's cover of Legs is awesome for pumping me up.

    pretty much any kind of dance anthem is good, something with a good loud beat...
    I like to listen to a lot of songs that have a good breakdown part in them were the bass just kicks in then it slows so you can go hard on the bass drop and rest on the slower parts then go again, a song like Bangarang by Skrillex is a good example of what im talking about

    skrillex is a great choice... breakin a sweat with the doors, hey sexy lady, wolfs den, scary monsters and nice sprites, equinox, get up w/korn, cinema.... all great songs.
    also cant forget slipknot, hollywood undead, big smo, brett eldredge, blake shelton, brantley gilbert........ pretty wide variety in my list, even got some tony bennett ft/ lady gaga lady is a tramp.....

    Anything that drowns out the hideous dance/techno crap that the gym plays non stop. I think they only have the one CD.

    The more aggressive the better. So plenty of Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head and the like. Just have to remember not to sing along too loud with some of the very aggressive songs.

    I get pumped by listening to this band called Giuda... They're on Spotify. Their album is "Racey Roller."
