So, I always have to have music on when I work out. I have decided I want to put together an epic playlist. Would love to hear your favourite workout tunes for inspiration.

Obviously Britney's - you better work B*tch is a bit slow in tempo for the energetic stuff, but the message of the song always gets my head in the right place and is a great warm up song.

So, hit me with your best tracks!

    When I was training for my first 10k, I listened to Janelle Monáe's "Tightrope" on repeat constantly. It's such a danceable track, and aligned PERFECTLY with my stride. "Cold War" has a very similar tempo and intensity; a little more serious of a track.

    I don't usually listen to music when I work out but if I did, that'd be it.

    Well if you're looking for a message, Eminem - Survival Of The Fittest works great:) it plays at my gym. Good for lifting.

    Shake it off by Taylor Swift has been my latest cardio obsession.

    Regulars on my playlist:

    Superlove by Charlie XCX
    Primadonna by Maria & The Diamonds
    Sleeping with a Friend by Neon Trees
    Safe and Sound by Capital Cities
    Closer by Tegan and Sara
    American Girl by Bonnie McKee

    Upbeat cardio and very rhymic songs. Not sure if they're exactly what you're looking for in terms of theme.

    I always get going with that old song The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground. The beat works well for me.

    I put together a playlist and shuffle it for surprises. But, there are some mellow songs on there (ok for warm up) so I need to make a new one.

    But. I like older stuff and a variety...

    Vacation and our lips are sealed-go go's
    My best friends girl-cars
    Hey Julie- Fountains of Wayne
    New Sensation-inxs
    Stone in love-Journey
    Carry on wayward son - Kansas
    Hanging by the moment - Lifehouse
    All these things that I've done - Killers
    I melt with you - modern English
    Time for me to fly-reo speed wagon
    Under pressure-queen
    Come sail away - Styx
    Rude-magic
    Chasing cars-snow patrol
