Just wondering what some of your favorite workout songs are. What do you have on your playlist? Warm-up songs, cardio songs, cool-down songs? Looking for some ideas to flesh out my own lists.

Gotta say I love me some Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (Good Vibrations) and Run DMC (It's Tricky)!


Note: I will listen to pretty much ANY type of music, so try me!

    I really like dance music. Gets me pumped!

    You can also check radio playlists like http://www.dogstarradio.com/ you can search for Sirius XM radio playlists. BPM is a favorite channel of mine. Then I just buy them off iTunes. (o:

    I like Spiderbait's "Picky"; Sixto Rodriguez "Only Good For Conversation"; Fitz & the Tantrums "Moneygrabber"; Modest Mouse "Cowboy Dan". I've got crappy rhythm so I like something with a hard beat to keep me going!

    If you have pandora radio type in Pink, you'll get a good mix of female rock.

    a fellow mfp'r referred me to jog.fm You can build playlists based on bpm/mile timings.

    I'm pretty new here but have been using my blog to talk a little about what I've been listening to during work outs. I'm way more into music than I am into working out. I just posted twice about 1) Kanye/Jay-Z and 2) MC Hammer

    Also - YES Girl Talk all the time.

    I’m very eclectic when it comes to music. My iPod has everything from Tupac to Etta James. However, I only workout to country. LOL! It took me a while to see why but I figured it out. I don’t dance to country. When anything with a rhythmic beat is on I want to dance and dancing on an arc trainer is dangerous! My playlist has a lot of Gretchen Wilson. I love All Jacked Up and Redneck Woman. I also have some Dixie Chicks, Leanne Womack and although she’s not country I have a girl crush on Pink so I have a lot of her on there too:smile: I will be looking at everyone’s posts for some new tunes though!

    I have started choosing music by how fast the song is - I work out on an Elliptical and make playlists so that it's like Interval training.

    Currently it goes like this:

    My feelings for you - Avicii and Sebastian Drums
    Don't you want me - Felix
    A 10 Minute Trance Minimix that I got off YouTube (it was called Trance but it's not, it's Cascada, The Killer,s Katy Perry, Pixie Lott and a few others, all sped up to 150 BPM) - that's my first lot of Fast Ones
    Run the World - Beyonce - to slow back down
    I'm in the House - Steve Aoki - to start building it back up
    GoldDust - DJ Fresh - to proper speed it up again
    Where them Girls at - David Guetta - to bring it back down
    Louder - DJ Fresh
    Shake it - Metro Station - to speed it up again
    Give me Everything - Pitbull - to start to cool down
    Beautiful People - Chris Brown
    Knocked up - Kings of Leon (just cause I like it so much lol)

    By the end of all that It's about 49 minutes and i'm ripping the earphones out my ears cause the 50 minutes is done :smile:

    I'm the same way in terms of what's currently on my iPod. I like a good mix of everything :)
