I know this is done all the time, so I apologize for a repetitive subject, but I'm really needing some workout music inspiration!

I listen to alot of indie-pop/indie-folk and it's not the most inspirational stuff at the gym!

I happened to have "Born this way" by Lady Gaga randomly on my iPod, and holy ****, I started working out harder!

Any other songs which get your blood pumping?

    Black Eyed Peas "Pump It" gets me moving about 50 times faster every time!

    Bulletproof by La Roux is fun and upbeat. I like Pop goes the World by Gossip for working out too. Also, Rhianna is pretty fun.

    Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue really gets my legs moving while running sprints. Love it!

    I know what you mean, I listen to the same stuff haha.

    But, I listen to a little electronic music and remixed stuff. DJ Earworm is one I listen to while working out or walking, whatever. He does a lot remixes of popular songs and old ones. :)

    Yes, "Pump It" by Black-Eyed Peas!! I usually follow it with "Don't Phunk with my Hear." Also, "What I Like About You" by the Romantics, "One Way or Another" by Blondie. These are on all of my workout playlists!
