    I really like to listen to anything that is done (or redone) by string quartets when I'm working out. My favorites are Escala and Vitamen String Quartet. I don't even feel the workout, I get so swept away by the music.

    I actually got sick of music and began downloading podcasts to listen to. They are free and I prefer comedians such as Harland Williams, Joe Diaz, Joe Rogan, etcetera. Picture yourself jogging on the treadmill laughing out loud and others looking at you like: "Why's he laughing"? It happens all the time!

    It's Motown for me...especially The Temptations and Four Tops. (OK, so I'm old) The beat usually gets me moving at a pretty good pace.

    I listen to David Guetta for cardio (anything by him works for me), also DeadMau5.

    For weights (because I get down with the get down lol) I listen to Killswitch Engage and Five Finger Death Punch

    I agree with the Motown - I also find that a lot of the Glee covers of old and new songs are really great and fun!!!

    Almost anything by VNV Nation very fast pace and full of beats. When I moved into my first apartment years ago I lost a lot of weight just from listening to them while cleaning you can't help but move.

    I really like listening to electronica for working out

    - The whole Daft Punk - Alive 2007 album, beginning to end. It always gets me going every time, never get sick of it, love it.

    - Canon and Phantom Pt. I and II by Justice are really good songs.
