Alright guys, it's time for me to start getting back in the gym again, which also means it's time for me to take those 'put me to sleep' songs off my ipod, and replace them with some up-beat songs that are good to run to.
Any suggestions for good songs? What are your favorite work out songs?

    "Ready to Go" - Republica. It always energizes me.

    Also,... have you tried Pandora Radio? It recommends songs for you based on ones you aready know and love. Check it out!

    Working out to mashup style music keeps me going...try looking at Milkman (he's not on itunes) if you're interested!

    not a song but a band rather. Reverend Horton Heat is awesome to work out too. His music makes me smile and it has a great beat!

    Anything with energy. A lot of hard rock and pop songs that make you want to get up and dance. I can't listen to anything mellow or slow.

    This may be weird - but Maniac by Michael Sembello - from the Flashdance movie.

    One of my trainers frequently has the song "F--- You" by Cee Lo Green on her playlist and it's great. Not only is the song actually good for working out to, when one is doing a particularly challenging workout it just _fits_.

    Almost anything by Eminem or A7X. I have alot of heavy metal and rap on my workout playlist as that is what helps me get my blood pumping!

    Hi! Depending on what music you are into, you can download the Ministry of Sound Running Trax cd's. They are housey songs with fast beats, I have them on my ipod or some drum and bass!! x

    I like "Run This Town" (Jay-Z w/ Rihanna) or "Raise Your Glass" (Pink) to get started!
    I put Kanye's "Stronger" at the end of the workout...it's cheesy but it gives me that extra push to see it through - harder, better, faster, stronger!!!
