I love working out to the podcast titled, PodRunner. Anyone who has this podcast can agree when I say, it really gets you through the work-out. However, I am getting bored of that podcast since it only updates one every few weeks. I have a few others that I listen, but PodRunner is the best. Anyone have a good variety of songs to get me going? I love every kind of music, including techno, rap, country, rock. You name it.

Let me know what you listen to!

    I haven't heard of podrunner but I will check it out. I really like upbeat dance music and I have to keep it updated or I get bored quickly.

    I listen to things I wouldn't even think I'd enjoy, but they really get me in the mood for exercising when nothing else can!! Some songs I really like are:
    Outkast- B.O.B. ---my favorite!
    Pink-- a lot of her songs
    Katy Perry-- Firework
    Van Halen-- lots of their songs
    Daft Punk-- Ready, Steady, Go
    that Black and Yellow song
    Black Eyed Peas-- Rock That Body
    and many more...I forgot what all is on my mp3 player but I love a variety too, looking forward to what others have to say as well!

    I use Pandora. It's free, and pretty awesome. Whatever your taste, you can instantly have a playlist that's what you want. I'm a big fan.

    I'm also a Slacker junkie!

    I have some playlists of fun dance/party music, and also some 80s pop, hip hop, rock. The Jay-Z/Linkin Park album is great for doing cardio!

    There is a site I found recently called runhundred it gives you the BPMs for each song. It's really good. When I got into a rut of listening to the same things at the gym, I looked to this site and found many of the perfect workout songs!

    Nothing gets me pumpin' more than Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. The holy trinity of work-out music. Just kidding.

    A lot of fast, upbeat pop and hip-hop music. A lot of Britney and Blackeyed Peas, Fergie, Lady Gaga. Anything that motivates me to MOVE!

    My music taste is always all over the map but for running and such, David Guetta, DJ Earworm remixes, Nicki Minaj, Enrique Iglesias, Kids of 88, K$sha, and Rihanna. Not stuff I would always normally listen to but definitely motivates!

    Inspired to try Slacker after reading this thread. I've been loyal to Pandora, but ready to see if Slacker is better...
