You can post your playlists if you want .... but my question is:

What is your absolute favorite song to workout to? What song reeeeally gets you going....

I have ecclectic tastes so I would have to say my top three are:

Nelly - Heart of the Champion
Fireflight - Unbreakable
Trey Songz - Bottoms Up

Funny thing... I dont like rap music except when I run.... then I want the most vulgar obnoxious rap song I can find!

    So many to choose from!! I use pandora when I work out and put it on "Red Hot Chili Pepper Radio". It plays a really good mix of music. If I had to narrow it down? Top three:

    Can't Stop- RHCP
    Livin la Vida Loca- Ricky Martin
    Just Dance- Lady Gaga

    Those three make me move no matter what Im doing.

    Depends on what I'm doing.

    For running I LOOOOVE Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. It's a long song with an unchanging beat that lets me just zone.

    For something intense I like "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa. Not really my style of listening music, but it motivates me well.

    Weight Lifting I go with something easier since I'm not getting my heart rate up as high.

    Did you notice as people are posting their songs...

    Some people need the beat more and some people need motivating lyrics more... its fascinating!

    I think the best songs combine the two (like the before mentioned "Push It") but I definately lean more on beat.

    Other great songs to work out to...

    Scorpions -- "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
    Pearl Jam -- "Even Flow"
    Micheal Jackson -- "Smooth Criminal"
    Boston -- "Foreplay/Long Time"
    Europe -- "The Final Countdown" (very disappointing if it's not the last song)
    B 52's -- "Love Shack"
    Elton John -- "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting"
    Aerosmith -- "Dude Looks Like a Lady"
    The Killers -- "When You Were Young"
    Queen -- "Another One Bites the Dust"
    Young MC -- "Bust a Move"
    Kansas -- "Carry On Wayward Son"
