in Fitness and Exercise
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.

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