  • my favorite all time workout song is "eye of the tiger"
  • Anything with a upbeat, fast tempo. Dance music usually does the trick for me! Stuff like Ministry of Sound, Clubland etc...

    My MP3 player is full of a variety of stuff... old and new...
    I have anywhere from Dolly Parton's song 9 to 5, Britney Spears - Strong up to Bruno Mars - Grenade and everywhere in between. But, I find myself pushing myself more when I listen to Britney Spears - Stronger.. lol.

    I agree. anything up beat, fast tempo. Dance music is great or something you can just groove with. It actually has me keeping tempo on the elliptical without realizing it. so I tend to push myself harder. When I dont have my mp3 in my ears and on I tend to poop our quicker I have noticed. I have Black eyed peas on mine, My Humps. I have Its getting hot in here, I have all kinds of random songs that people have sent me lol.

    I love to blatt out a bit of Pendulum when running - (In Silico & Immersion both have some good fast tracks) but also love a bit of the more upbeat Foo Fighters to keep the blood pumping too.
    Depends on the mood! :)
  • Stronger by Mandisa
    Born to Fly - Sara Evans
    Country Man - Luke Bryan

    I know this is strange but some Hannah Montana/Miley songs. I don't ever listen to her but someone else said they did while working out and so I tried it. The Good Life is pretty much the only one I listen to.

    There's a great song by BT called Never gonna come back down.

    I use this song to start all my work-outs. Always gets me pumped.

    I love getting the Biggest Loser Workout CD's and putting them on my Ipod. The songs are usually around 128 beats per minute, which makes working out on the treadmill and/or elliptical more tolerable.

    LOVE Pitbull, too. Just didn't know if she'd like something a little more unedited. :) ALL Pitbull songs are on my Workout Music list. Especially "Hit The Floor".

    Depends what you're into...

    If I'm lifting weights I need something hard, fast and angry to help me keep my energy up. Bands like 'As Blood Runs Black', '5 Finger Death Punch', etc.

    If I'm running I prefer hip-hop to keep my feet going to the beat OR long Dave Matthews Band/O.A.R./ Jam-Band kind of tunes. You get lost in your head during a 15-20 minute jam session of your favorite song and forget you're running!

    Check out jog.fm. It helps you find music and playlists for running, walking or cycling based on the tempo of the song. Should work fine for general exercise as well.
  • Theres a french band called Yelle - its super catchy techno and its AWESOME to run to.
