I need a new playlist for the gym. Can people recommend songs that get them motivated at the gym?

Thanks!

    Any of Springsteen's older (and faster) music. Check out songs from the Greetings from Asbury Park, Wild, Innocent and the E Street Shuffle, and Born to Run albums.

    Only one problem with these. I use them when I stationary bike... if they come on the radio while I'm in the car, my feet start to peddle.
  • Check out jog.fm. That's what I use and I love it!!
  • If you like rock check out Queens of the Sone age. I good one is SWEAT!
    Also enjoy Tom Petty while working out ..and lots of Indie Rock Music ..thew faster the beat the better!

    I like pretty much everything but country. I am 38, so I can appreciate the new wave/alternative stuff too.
