I like a variety of options to exercise to...but I HATE exercise videos that just have random and unrecognizable music on them. Does anyone know of any that actually have good, upbeat songs that I would know on them? Anything that makes you move...even back to the 70's stuff is fine, but I just don't like it when it's not something that makes me feel motivated, if that makes sense.

    If you have a video you like, once you know the routine and don't need to hear them talk you through it, why not turn the volume down on the video and play the music of your choice on the stereo? That way you can change it up as often as you like.

    well, I had thought of that, but matching the tempos of the video to the music would be difficult.
    If I can't find one, I'll just have to find different ways to exercise, I guess. I don't understand why they can't make videos with good music on them rather than just a boring beat or music that no one has ever heard of.

    I suspect it's because if they were to use popular music, they would have to be licensed by the artists to distribute it, which would make their expenses go through the roof and in-turn make their videos difficult to price competitively.

    I figured it was something like that. I was just sort of hoping there might be something out there. I may just have to make a compilation of my own stuff and not do the videos.

    I think exercise music in general can be a tad crappy. I love a variety of music but find all the spin classes etc I do have bad top 40 stuff in them (hope I didn't offend anyone)

    there is one instructor I have who uses a variety (including some old rock from the 70s). This makes his classes alot more interesting. Anyone have some good exercise playlists they want to share?

    Turbo Fire is really good music - I think it is improved from Turbo Jam to really get you pumped up :)

    In my opinion the Zumba Dvd's would be better than the Zumba on Wii
