What on you playlist when you go for a run or workout?

I need some music to keep me pumped through my work out.

    I use the Pandora app on my phone and listen to the LMFAO station. Not typically my type of music but it is so fast and upbeat it makes me want to run faster and not look at the time.

    I also love Pandora! :) I use that when I'm tired of my own playlist or to get some new ideas.

    Maybe this will help everyone. I found this not too long ago on Pinterest. It's 200 running songs that cover almost every genre!

    Any way to help! It's so hard to pick workout music because you get so sick of the songs eventually!

    Pandora junkie here too. They have cardio dance stations if you search fitness. It's a mix of music, but everything is upbeat and might take you back a couple years. :)

    I found yesterday that Telephone by Lady Gaga & Beyonce is my ideal workout song because I can't help but go as fast as the beat! So I did a 'genius' playlist on iTunes and it's been working well for me while I use my exercise bike. It's very poppy but it's brilliant! Takes my mind off exercising and it's all very easy to listen to, if that makes sense.

    My taste is... different. Here's some of my playlist...

    "Disco Traxx" - Ladytron
    "The Plague (v 4-1)" - Diary of Dreams
    "Hearbeats" - The Knife
    "The Reeling" - Passion Pit
    "The Fall" - Gary Numan
    "Fearless" - VNV Nation

    With the exception of Passion Pit, you're probably not going to hear much of it on mainstream radio. It all has a beat, though.

    From NPR: http://www.npr.org/2012/01/13/145185920/the-ultimate-npr-workout-mix
