    Do you use an iphone or itouch because you can listen to Pandora. You can create stations of your favorites and put it on quick mix. You'll get a good variety.

    I'm old school, so I can't really suggest any music for ya. :laugh:

    The other day, I was on the elliptical and the most unassuming song came on my iPod that made me go faster and push myself harder on the elliptical than I have in awhile... "You belong with me" by Taylor Swift. The beat is perfect for going fast on the elliptical. Also another one I discovered last year, 4 minutes by Madonna & J.T., and American Woman by Lenny Kravitz. All great tempos!

    Well, I am a younger person on this site and I just signed up. I listen to hip hop or R&B music. It's not my favorite but it's definatly upbeat and helps to keep me moving. Some of my favorites are:

    :: All I Do is Win by DJ Khaled
    :: More by Usher
    :: No Hands by Waka Flocka Flame
    :: We R Who We R by Kesha

    They help pump me up (:

    What's your style preferance? I listen to a lot of metal so my choices may not help you out, lol.

    I would however recommend these because they are more mainstream:
    Three Days Grace- Riot
    Theory Of A Deadman- Not Meant To Be
    Linkin Park (any and all songs)
    10 Years- Shoot It Out
    Seether- Fake It

    Thanks all! My preferences lean towards remixes- think Black Eyed Peas, DJ Tiesto, David Guerra....etc. I did just find a great website- http://www.inthegym.net, that I am going to check out. They have a variety of play lists for different types of exercise. I'm always after new music though, so I will check out all of your suggestions. THANKS!!!

    I have read several studies that have proven that the more intense your music is, the harder you will go. I am not a fan of rock or heavy metal but I do have a playlist consisting of fringer 11, nickelback, greenday, korn, etc. It does keep me going and push me to work harder.

    I've read the same thing, and totally agree. The faster BPM I get on a song, the more I push myself to keep up! Thanks!

    I also have to have really fast music or I just don't push myself as hard. Right now some of my favs are:

    Only Girl- Rihanna
    Tonight-Enrique Iglesias
    With Love-Hilary Duff
    Give a Little More-Maroon 5
    The Way You Move-Outkast
    Like a G6-Far East Movement
    Hey-Lil Jon feat 3Oh3 (from the Jersey Shore Soundtrack)

    Ok, you all are gonna think I'm such a nerd, but I LOVE running to a playlist I made of 1990's Dance hits! They are so upbeat and just make me laugh at myself for listening to them. Here's a website full of good ones :)

    The Sounds of San Francisco by Global DJ’s
    Salvation by the Cranberries

    Also, it pains me to admit this but... Aqua. Yep that's right. Aqua does the job quite nicely. Not just Barbie Girl either, but the entire album.

    Here is a link to one of my mixes: http://www.choons.net/index.php?m=mixes&p=view&mix_id=4704

    You can download it by clicking the link on the right hand side of the screen. It's hard dance/hard trance type of thing.

    Hope you enjoy it!

    Oh my goodness, I think Aqua is the ultimate workout music!!

    The other day was I was finishing on the elliptical, "WORK" by Ciara and Missy Elliott came on and helped push me thru the last few minutes. Not a song I'd normally like, but they yell "work, work, work, work..." throughout the song and it was a nice push.

    I'm always looking for new workout tunes, so this is a great thread :smile:
