    I listen to the Cinderella station on Pandora when I'm walking. Great 80's Hair Band music!

    I have a gym playlist. It includes alot of 90's rap :) I also like to listen to Mumford and Sons and the Killers while working out. Florence and the Machine song Dogs Days are over is fabulous to run to. What is on your playlist?

    It has to be deadmau5 when I am running. Always start my run with "So There I Was" from the album "Random Album Title".

    That, or dance/club music...I find it motivating to hear the music that I want to look good dancing to.

    Totally agree. When I ran the half marathon I stratgically set certain songs for points I knew would be tough. Eminem lose yourself was on the 11th mile :)

    Metallica, AC/DC, Rob Zombie, 80's hair bands, old-school Rap (Run DMC & Beastie Boys), Price, Michael Jackson, and then a mish-mash of other funky stuff, and a few newer artists thrown in to the mix. I've been known to throw in some embarrassing and cheesy things on my iPod like "Copacabana'

    The key is to mix it up and keep yourself moving! I have an iPod shuffle, so I never know what's coming up next.

    I guess, thats why i love a playlist instead of an album as you never know whats coming... think id be too embarrased to put it on shuffle as i have some major cheese on it! haha

    My husband grabbed my iPod to cut the lawn one day because his wasn't charged, and even though I warned him "that's only got my workout music on it and you aren't going like most of it", he still came in the house afterward, stared at me and said "Seriously, honey?"

    Yes please share your amazing one!

    I also have a playlist that includes a lot of late 90s/early 2000s rap (my high school and college years) and a lot of rock like Queens of the Stone Age and Foo Fighters. I like a lot of Talking Heads for the upbeat quality. Some other songs I dig:

    Closer by Ne-yo, Telephone by Lady Gaga, Numb/Encore by Jay-Z and Linkin Park, Toxic by Britney Spears, Beat It by Michael Jackson, Blue Monday by Orgy, We Be Burnin' by Sean Paul, Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons, Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas, I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) by Pitbull, and Gossip Folks by Missy Elliot among others!

    MY ALL TIME FAVORITE: Kanye's Workout Plan by Kanye West

    Hilarious!
