    Eye of the tiger :laugh: played over and over and over again :tongue:

    Actually for me any upbeat praise and worship will do the trick:
    3rd Day
    Casting Crowns
    Donnie McClurkin
    Shekinah Glory

    Just to name a few, it's hard without my ipod in front of me.

    I recommend trying this website podfitness.com. You can get a free trial of 8 weeks.

    My sister is doing the podfitness training and loves it. She takes it to the gym or street every day jogging. Great program.

    Now I think overall you can do the same for yourself without the high price. Pick out your favorite get up and move songs - plenty listed, and then start your workout. I like to do 2 warm up songs, at the end of those warm up songs I increase my speed. I am a beginner so 3.2 on treadmill for warm up, then 2 little faster songs but still nothing to run too at 4.0 speed and then I do 2 really fast moving songs at 5.5 then 2 songs at the 4.0 speed and then cool down with 2 mello songs reducing speed to 3.2 and then to 2.4.

    So break down:
    2 warm up songs -- est time 6-7 mins total
    2 mild heart rate songs -- est time 6-7 mins total
    2 fast, really working it songs -- est time 7-8 mins total
    2 mild heart rate songs -- est time 6-7 mins total
    2 cool down songs -- est time 5-6 mins total
    Total est time = 30 - 35 mins

    I really enjoy the workout, feels like a good workout when all done. Would love to hear what one of our trainers think on the outline.

    I actually do have this whole album on my IPod, but I don't use it for working out.

    depending on my mood, usually alot of dropkick murphys, flogging molly, and great big sea, and nightwish, otherwise i crank up some rap, or techno that has a good paced beat

    I like something bouncy and upbeat. Jason Mraz is good for that, just the right amount of jazz and pop to keep me going. Nickelback is good, too, because of all the energy in the music.

    I have a bunch of podcasts that hardly get used, my favorite all time cardio workout music is actually a series of interval workouts. I know we aren't supposed to "advertise" but if you put the word cardio and coach together and add a dot com you will find info and sample songs. :wink: :wink:

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I can't tell you what an inspiration it is to have new music to enjoy and take my mind off my beating heart.

    Keep those suggestions coming. I bore easily.

    ...Closer by Ne-Yo always gets me moving FAST on the elliptical not sure why lol...

    LoL, I was just saying to my husband the other night that that song makes me move faster, too! It's pretty much impossible for me to move slowly when it's playing!

    It's a guilty pleasure... but I have to admit that my favorite work-out album is Blackout by Britney Spears. All the songs are really up beat and keep me going. Second in line would be Riot! by Paramore

    =)

    I actually love Blackout. One of my favorites on there is Radar. I think its very cool to workout to.
