I'm trying to put together some work out music...but I'm struggling finding songs that make me actually want to MOVE. lol I have plenty of music I like, but that doesn't mean they make me want to keep running the treadmill.

Out of some of the music I have or have heard, I noticed songs with a good beat are nice. (except most rap, I don't usually care for it, maybe like 1 or 2 songs in my lifetime), but I don't always have to know what they're saying either...haha

..... or songs that make you want to get down and dirty (sorry couldn't think of a better way to phrase that) work pretty good. But I don't have very many that I can think of...its like my brain turned off!

Here is what I have so far

Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love & User Friendly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQuKo3SevVA&has_verified=1 & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaXOWCR-ceM

Shakira - Loca, She wolf, Hips don't lie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEr91A_Rewc&feature=related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=booKP974B0k, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUT5rEU6pqM&ob=av2e

And some belly dance music...

Pretty weak list I must say so.


Any suggestions?

    Personally, I find cheesy pop music, or pop -punk/pop-rock music has quite a fun beat. And for the most part, having listened to it most of my life, I know all the words which makes treadmilling more fun. Also, I'm a musicals nerd, and love listening to Disney. but that might just be me. But seriously, there's a reason why Britney Spears was in good shape, she could dance to every moment of almost every song, which makes it good music to work out to....

    I usually go for Abba and Lady Gaga - both have tons of great work-out songs, some of which are pretty sexy.
    Also, there's free work-out podcasts on itunes, but most of that is techno.
    If you want super "down-and-dirty", there's always Madonna!! lol

    LOve the Madonna idea. Britney - I"m a closet fan myself. Someone said the pop punk rock stuff - Green Day has some good songs. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Some sassy stuff on there.

    I like Mash-Ups

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhnNKv09OxA

    Lady Gaga vs. Black Eyed Peas (Fergie) - Poker Hump Mashup 2009 Made by DJ NATH

    Some regular 'not so dancey songs" can be made to be something quite helpful when I am trying to walk faster.

    Sweet Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I had loaded a bunch of music a few weeks ago, and ended up flipping through like 4 GB of songs and only listening to the same 5 over and over again because the other ones weren't enough to keep me distracted from thinking "omg...my legs hurt...I'm so tired...10 min is long enough right?". lol

    So that's when I decided I needed to fix up my list.
