in Health and Weight Loss
I am a music junkie and using this to my advantage to get me through workouts :) obviously most dance/euphoric/D&B is great for cardio and i can listen to pretty much anything lifting weights but some tracks just make you work HARDER....eg Jessy J whos laughing now, Christina fighter, shy fx shake your body

Any great tracks i can kick my butt to?

Thanks in advance :)

    Okay so I don't have specific songs, but I have a Pandora station that I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! It's called Techno Gym and it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every song keeps you pumped up and pushing harder! And when a song gets a little too slow....I just put the thumbs down so that it won't play again! Its so awesome!

    Add my vote to Nickleback

    The new Foo Fighter Album "Wasting Light" is pretty good as well.

    I found that a lot of Lady Gaga is great to work out to. Very upbeat, even a lot of her lyrics are inspirational. Give her a try

    Mr Saxo Beat is a good one, very up beat. I like Call On Me cos it makes me think of the video to go with the song and those ladies bodies...I want one of those bodies!

    I have all of these songs on my Ipod that I listen to when Im working out as well. Great selection of music!!! You can also add Beyonce's song countdown, Kanye West - Power or Stronger, Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO, Super bass by Nicki Minaj, Rihanna - Only girl in the world, and Afrojack - Take Over Control are just a few I have as well.

    Have you guys heard of runhundred.com? A guy on MFP recommended it to me. It sends a weekly e-mail of suggestions for your playlist and you can look up song suggestions in the archive by genre and decade.

    I've downloaded a few of the suggestions already and I just joined two weeks ago.

    My favourites at the moment are "I Like That" by Richard Vission and "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. Single ladies is mainly because I aspire to be able to dance around in nothing but a leotard like Beyonce does in the video lol

    Great suggestions by everyone else though. Music is the best motivator for me and I think switching songs around helps switch up my workout.

    For cardio I like the Black Eyed Peas "Elephunk" and for hardcore strength workouts I like Rammstein (really any of their albums will do).
