    C'mon C'mon by The Von Bondies
    Be careful, this song might make you want to go running which is no good if it's supposed to be a rest day.

    Jimmy Eat World has a lot of good workout music, but my ALL TIME favorite song to work out to is Electric Twist by A Fine Frenzy

    I recently did my longest bit of running and I couldn't have done it if Come Sail Away by Styx weren't playing. I think the endorphins from my laughter (inside) allowed me to do it.

    really cheesy girl power songs, like "one girl revolution" or "not done yet" both by Superchick
    or anything by Pitbull right now I listen to "Shake Señora" more than once during a work out!

    Yeah so, I'm from Jersey so this'll just naturally be funny that I listen to house music when I workout. That pumping beat gets me going, especially between reps when I feel like I can't go anymore. Gets me to push that next exercise out.

    Look up Monstercat Media, they are a dub promoter with a lot of great stuff out there.

    Matisyahu, his album youth is almost exactly 45 minutes and the perfect length for my workout. Positive, inspirational, and the beats can't be beat ;)

    MILKMAN! He's a mashup artist and SO much fun to listen to when you workout. It's like ten songs in one so it keeps you going. Try "Silhouette"!
