    LifeHacker recently discussed a study that showed that music 130bpm or more substantially increased athletic performance. Athletes even found the same exercise to be so much easier that they believed the scientists had actually decreased the weights and intensity of their exercise machines. I loved reading that so I pulled everything out of my iTunes library that is 130bpm or more and it is a GREAT workout soundtrack for me. There are lots of free programs available for DJs to find BPM, so I just downloaded one of them.

    My current fave workout song are:
    Edge of Glory - Gaga
    Potential Breakup Song - Aly & Aj
    Badass - Black Robot (my ultimate song for kicking it into high gear)
    Stronger - Kanye
    Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine
    Lots of random stuff with thumping techno beats, and lots of screaming thrash metal, too

    Tonight's selection included: Ludacris, Nelly, and Outkast. I felt like I was back in my college dorm room again.

    Usually I work out to a Pandora station called "Dance/Club".

    When I lift weights, I find a milder selection, like REM.

    Daft punk - all the way! "Harder, better, faster, stronger!"
    I like to work out to a bit of dance music, plus a bit of old school stuff (ie 'Fame'), bit of Aussie hip hop (such as Bliss n Eso), Florence and the Machine, all of it really!

    Cool down track - R Kelly - I am the greatest!

    Great ideas, guys. I already snagged a few.

    I found a few Britney Spears remixes on the internet yesterday. Apparently she had two bonus albums that were solely remixes. They're all great for cardio workouts!
