Hi,

I'm really starting to love the walking (the nice weather recently here in Ireland certainly helps!) and I'm able to reach an average speed of 7.1 km/h now (oh yes the nice apps on the iphones are wonderful hey :laugh: )

I have a few favourite songs which really gets me going (Florence & the Machine, yay!), but I can do with some more suggestions!

So, what albums/songs do you listen to to make you walk just that little bit faster?

    Any house music has a beat for fast walking and training on the elliptical. BPMs are between 135 & 141.
    You can download music from iTunes. Look for BPM music, or house/dance music, or electronic. Aerobic music is also available!

    a friend of mine that trains for bike races just introduced me to Trance music. It has a nice steady beat and really inspires movement.

    I like stuff on the heavier side. I'm really into a band called Torche. When they hit it, it fires me up.

    I recently aquired a live U2 recording from the Popmart tour. That gets me moving too.

    I notice whenever any Lady Gaga tune pops up in my ipod I really start stepping it up.

    Ooow thanks everyone, see some great bands! Am not a big fan (understatement) of the likes of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, but yeah they definitely have a good beat, so I may consider them...

    Just back from a walk accompanied by Skunk Anansi, but that's a nono for walking! :yawn:
