in Fitness and Exercise
All I do for exercise is walk or run. I do it in my basement at home on the treadmill because I am a poor college student who cant afford a gym membership. I am growing tired of my work out music and need some new stuff to help me stay moving and motivated. I love all types of music and will take whatever I can get at this point. What are your favorite songs to work out to?

    I try to mix it up. Follow up an 80's pop music song with some punk rock and then back to some classic 1970's rock followed by maybe some Motown. Keeps it fresh.

    I also have organized it so that it isn't the same songs day to day. A song I hear while out for a walk on Monday won't be heard again until days later. Again, keeps it fresh.

    Try www.jog.fm that's where I go when I am looking for something new. Besides that: Motley Crue, Rihanna, Theory of a Deaman, Brant Bjork. I am always getting bored and changing things up though. ;-)

    I'm a big hip hop junkie, so I'm not sure if this playlist is for everybody. haha But I just put it together the other day (in a strategic order so it flows fairly well for the most part lol. not obsessed with music at all....) and haven't been able to stop moving (or at least singing!) along with it!

    Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On - I like to put this one on to walk between classes. Keeps my pace up and sometimes I can't help but box-step n twirl if nobody's looking. lol! plus the lyrics are great. :)
    Pitbull ft. Ne-yo, Afrojack, & Nayer - Give Me Everything - awesome dance beat
    Usher - More - the percussion in this song is awesome! I love it.
    Nicki Minaj & Drake - Moment 4 Life
    Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough
    Nicki Minaj - Super Bass - not a very bassy song, but the upbeatness of it makes me wanna move.
    Britney Spears - Till the World Ends - gonna dance till the world ends!
    Nicki Minaj - Last Chance
    Nicki Minaj - Save Me -- In case you can't tell, I'm a hip hop junkie, and Nicki Minaj is inspiring, hilarious, exciting and something totally different. Love this woman! The lyrics touched me in this one but the bass is great.
    Diddy - Coming Home - I enjoy singing with this one, and the beat is fun for walking to as well.
    Diddy - Hello Good Morning --- This one we used in my cardio hip hop class in the mornings and it's great for starting up your day and getting you to move!
    Usher - OMG -- another good one we had in that class.
    LMFAO ft. Lauren Bennett - Party Rock Anthem
    Chris Brown - Yeah 3X --- I can't help but move around to this one.
    Usher - Spotlight --- My celebrity crush. I love love love Usher, and he's got some of the greatest get up and dance music out there.
    Lloyd - Get it Shawty
    Mario - Skippin --- I love this song. Found it on So You Think You Can Dance? awhile back.
    Nas ft. Keri Hilson - Hero


    Hope you enjoy!! :)

    I listen to 80s stuff and Madonna mostly. You know, you can always go on iTunes on their playlists and find some stuff there. I swear, someone is always putting out a "workout" playlist, and some of them are pretty good!
