in Motivation and Support
I am curious to hear (read) what songs everyone is listening to when they are working out? What gets your blood pumping and makes you want to stay on that treadmill/elliptical/bike or whatever for another few minutes because the song is just so awesome, you don't want to get off?

I will usually keep going if any of these happen to come on my iPod:

House of Pain - Jump Around
Joan Jett - I Love Rock n Roll
Eminem - Lose yourself
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body.

Peace, love and wednesday!

    I'm addicted to Till the World Ends by Britney Spears. The beat is amazing and it makes me want to push through.

    A few year ago like 2006 I would have listened to rap while exercising, not hardcore, just like Pop rap (Black Eyed Peas, Jay Z or Beyonce) for the past year before I began working out again I started listening to nothing but KLOVE which is positive and encouraging christian music. I really love it, no commercials, just encouragement and motivational songs that still are up beat!!

    I like dance/techno music. Remixes, originals, does not matter as long as its quick and has a great beat.

    I don't actually care for country music, but I have several country songs on my iPod because they have great beats and keep my pace up.

    "Eye of the Tiger" (Rocky and well as the "Training Montage), "You're the Best" (karate Kid), I love the background songs to most sports movies as long as I've seen the movie. It inspires me to keep pushing through when it reminds me of the movie.

    I also enjoy Pop music because it makes me think about the popstars on stage dancing and then of course they have the stomach we all want to have! So Britney Spears, Rhianna (Poker Face)

    Really really angry music when I'm lifting.

    Anything upbeat for cardio. I like girl talk, dubstep, and flogging molly.
