I'm always looking for new stuff to add to my playlist. What are some of your favorites that get you excited to workout?

Thanks,
Courtney

    Daddy's Gone - Glasvegas
    I Remember You - Skid Row

    However you might change your mind when you learn that sometimes I dance in the gym (really, really badly!) recreating the moves from Flashdance!

    As long as you wear the leg-warmers, it's totally fine.

    Love All About That Bass --

    And just googled I Know There's Something Going On because I didn't know the song (recognized it as soon as I heard it), so watched the video on YouTube -- 80S GOLD. So awful (video not song). Highly entertaining.

    It's true! 80's gold, baby! I heard it again recently on an 80's station and HAD to download it. Love the beat!

    I have to add.... Anything Metallica! Love that you have Master of Puppets on your list!

    Don't laugh too hard, but Skrillex's "Kill everybody in the world" gets me running like nothing else.

    I listen to "Happy" on repeat to convince myself that I'm happy and it doesn't hurt and can do more reps.

    I don't have a "playlist" exactly, but I use Slacker Radio on my phone. If I'm not feeling a song, I'll advance to the next on a custom station. As far as genre, I mostly listen to old-school rap like Tupac. I also like some of the newer R&B and such, but usually it needs to be a faster paced song to keep me going.

    People are sometimes surprised I like Tupac.
