    Anything Reggaetone will work, Beyonce has a lot of fast paced songs that are good for working out, Usher, Ying-Yang twins (just don't listen to the words). Kanye West also has some fast paced songs

    There's a pandora radio station I like called "Dance Cardio" I got a lot of ideas from it. I did buy some tracks.
    + (forgive me if I'm giving you repeated advice) have you looked into http://jog.fm/ it gives you song names based on the BPM.
    I hope this helps you.
    And bumping for the playlists already shared as well. :)

    BPM's! Thanks, Theresmynapki

    jogfm.com is a really good website for picking jogging or walking tunes. You plug in your jogging or walking pace & it gives you the recommended BPM range & a list of songs.

    Faster songs help me keep my pace

    I'm a Geek so this may not be to your liking. These are not "heavy" but they are EPIC so take with a grain of salt.

    I LOVE working out to music Scores. They take me to another world and take my mind off working out/sweating. I play WoW, Skyrim and Diablo III so I envision fighing demons, saving the High Heavens, killing dragons and fighting Gladiators. (I freely admit I'm a Geek and I'm proud of it. I blame my hubby :) )

    My favorite is the group "Two Steps from Hell". They do the music to the movie trailers. They just blow my mind!
    I have so many favorite songs from them it's hard to choose.

    Archangel from their 2011 Nero album is EPIC! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGn5bBaFOfw&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA

    In fact, as I was doing my walking today I didn't realize, until half way into this song, that I was directing! Cars were passing me and I know I looked like a dork. *facepalm*

    Another one of my favorites is "To Glory" from their Invincible album. This reminds me of Gladiator and 300. I see the battle scenes when I listen to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ1GbBlS9wM&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA

    Also "Ocean Princess" from their Nemesis II album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqNRIM2pdaQ&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA

    I can't leave out "United we stand, divided we fall" also from their Nero album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O6Q1OiF6LI&feature=related

    Another group is called "Epic Score". I am in love with "Siren's Call" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NknmpdEEFI&feature=autoplay&list=LLib7nFSI8GKe8Uze1rHnHQA&playnext=2

    Last is "Future World Music" song "Dream Chasers" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysusZfArPoI&feature=related

    Again, they're not "heavy" music but that makes it no less epic. :)

    Good luck and happy workouts! :)

    Okay, so its a little off topic but i found, what in my opinion is, an awesome site for music ideas... http://upchucky.com/JukeCity/1990/juke.htm plug in any year you want where the link says 1990 and you can hear all the hit songs from that year... cant believe how many songs i used to love and forgot about are on their throughout the different years.

    And thanks again to every1 for their brilliant ideas :)

    If you subscribe to XM Radio they have a station called BPM which is good beats for working out! I have a subscription and it's only $10.00/Month! :) IF you get internet on your phone I hook mine up to my treadmill and play PANDORA through that with whatever genre of music I am in the mood for.

    Hello ! I like music that keeps you going and makes you want to dance when I workout . If your like me then try reggaeton ( I'm not Hispanic) and you don't even have to understand it , the beat is great and will keep you motivated and not even want to stop. I use it especially for running or jogging . Try it out and let me know what you think .


    P.s Add me if you want .

    Get the running trax CD's by MOS. They're great.

    'Feel so close' by Calvin Harris is my absolute fav for beginning and ending runs.
