    Hi Zenmama,

    It depends on what genre you are looking for.

    My favorites are:

    AC/DC
    B52's
    Smash Mouth
    U2
    and some specific songs are:

    Do you wanna funk? by Sylvester & Patrick Cowley
    Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake
    Family Affair by Mary J Blige
    Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood & The Destroyers
    Du Hust by Rammstien (My boys laugh at me about this one) (The version in German, they corrupt it in English)

    I am a disco & rock lover and I am always looking for great songs to workout to as well. Anything that has a good fast beat.

    Excellent question to post.

    Thanks :happy: not looking for anything other than good workout tunes...I am an 80's product myself but have a huge variety of likes...and my husband is a musician sooo needless to say.

    I have not started my workout sessions yet, but call me old school....
    Marky Marky and the funky bunch Good Vibrations
    Another one that I had in a step class was Daft Punk One more time, it really got us going.
    Awesome topic though, I am working on a list of songs to use for a workout. Do you usually start off with ONE song for a warm up? Then go form there? It has been ages since I went to a gym and worked out, plus we did not have ipods then.

    My husband has to show me how to sync my music into my workout category? I am clueless. I usually start off with whatever I am in the mood for....today I ended with a good fast beat so I could push my running up (mph)....

    This may sound kinda strange, but I am a dancer and I discovered that when I was doing strength training, I was doing reps and breathing in a waltz pattern..."lift, 2, 3....squeze, 2, 3..." etc. so sometimes I like to listen to waltz while I work out. It keeps me from going to fast and making sure that my movements are smooth.

    For cardio, I like club music (though I can't stand just listening to it) or anything with a up-tempo, steady downbeat. I really like OK Go, and I know if I can sing along, I am not pushing myself hard enough. :laugh:

    My workout playlist is all solid guilty pleasure music.

    Britney Spears remixes. . . techno. . . and Abba classics.

    I'm embarrassed now.:blushing:

    Techno, House and club music is great stuff to work out...and I completely get the 1-2-3 waltz thing!

    I recently had the Top Gun Soundtrack in my MP3 and it was awesome!
    Gwen Stafani is also a gooch choice
    Madonna too- Most of her albums are great to work out to.

    Angry white man music: meaning new and old punk.

    I also have some Cirque du Soleil on there as well - think warm up and cool down.

    My personal favorites for cardio are Ram Jam (Black Betty), Outkast (Hey Ya), AC/DC (You Shook Me All Night Long), B52's (Love Shack). Also pretty much anything by Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Sheryl Crow (her older stuff), and Sublime.
