Hej Alle(:
I was wondering what your favorite music was to listen to when you wake up?! I know I don't have a prayer of burning more than 50 calories without my beats blasting(: Right now some of my favorites on my workout playlist are...
Pon De Floor - Major Lazer
Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO
Que Te Mueve Merengue - Zumba Fitness
Danza Kudura - Don Omar
Who Luv*s You - DJ Lindsay Live (http://www.societeperriershare.com/FILES/AUDIO/DJ Lindsay Luv x Societe Perrier.mp3)

    I actually listen to Harry Potter on audiobook when I run! It keeps my mind occupied and sometimes I forget I'm even running! ;-)

    Dance style stuff with a twist ;)

    I'm listening to the new book in the 'Games of Thrones' series while I work out. Audiobooks are a great distraction!

    I like to listen to audiobooks or podcasts (because I can just tune out).

    If I really need to kick it then I usually download an episode of Indie Soup Runner.

    http://www.indiesouprunner.com/

    They keep me motivated because I need to listen to the whole episode to hear all of the songs (it is one long file). Bonus work out longer AND get to hear new bands!

    I do zumba A LOT, and now I LOVE the music they have. The best part is when I'll have a particular song stuck in my head during the day at the office and after work I go to zumba and its playing--I KILL IT! I shake my booty like noone's business! :happy:

    Top 6 Songs:

    1) On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
    2) Rabiosa by Shakira
    3) Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO
    4) Boom Boom Shake Shake Drop by Flo Rida feat Pitbull
    5) Shake Senora by Pitbull
    6) Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups * not a zumba song but I just want to move when I hear it, I feel like a total BAMF!

    I love old-school 90s stuff. I'll put my Pandora app to a Salt 'N Pepa station and let it choose for me.

    Also, some days I really love to power walk to praise & worship music.

    Ghetto - Akon
    Lose Yourself - Eminem
    Yellow Brick Road - Eminem
    Victory - DJ Khaled [ANOTHER EXTREMMMELY GOOD SONG]
    Starin' At The World Through My Rear view - 2Pac [AMAZING SONG]

    ... The list goes on and on and on

    have lost my ipod. need to find a new budget mp3 for running but am dreading the tune changeover.

    my favourite song at the moment is just jack - glory days. It makes me smile and i move my feet. great to run or hoop too!

    Looks like I'm a minority here-I listen to a lot of indie, surf rock, reggae, and ska for working out. It makes me feel happy and upbeat and I swear it helps my feet move. If I had the money I'd love to do something like Zumba, except that I mostly HATE dance type music so I don't think I would enjoy it haha.
    Some faves for me are: Bob Marley, faster Mishka songs, a bit of Jack Johnson, Daniel Wesley, Current Swell, faster Jon and Roy, Giraffe Aftermath, and others.

    Nice mixtapes, thanks!

    When I work out, I like listening too those kinds of musics.

    And I like a lot the remix of Mac Miller of a song of MGMT:

    ^ this, my All About the Anger mix. I tried a "roots music" channel on Slacker that I programmed last night with Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, the Killers, and I found myself trying to run a fairly long interval starting with a Willie Nelson song. Um, no. I do better with the Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, and Slipknot myself.

    Along with my regular mix of Greek and Turkish pop, I've started listening to alternative music again. I've forgotten how pumped Alexisonfire would make me feel.
