    I Jazzercise and the music ranges from Rihanna/Lady Gaga to Lady Antebellum or Rickey Martin! But if I'm out walking I love to listen to Gospel (Tye Tribbett, Kirk Franklin, Hezekiah Walker on Pandora). Those up beat praise songs relly get me going in a zone :love:

    Power Metal - Hard and Loud. Current favorites are Sabaton and ManOWar with a peppering of Metallica, Megadeath and a few other Euro/Scandinavian power metal bands. I lose a few calories playing air guitar/drums on the bus during my morning commute daily (always at a respectable volume so I don't upset the old people :P )

    I enjoy many different kinds of music. But, there is one song that I like to start my workout with, "Sail" by AWOLNATION. It really gets me in the mood to workout hard.

    This! No matter how tired or spent I am, this song gets a few more minutes out of me. It's so good.

    This is embarrassing, but I also like anything with sexy lyrics! It makes me feel like the harder I work, the closer I get to feeling sexy.

    I find pop sometimes to help me distract myself on the treadmill but I'm not a huge fan of it. I love rock and alternative and usually burn playlists on spotify from my altnation lostening during my daily commute to and from college. There are days when I switch it up to ES Posthumus and lyric free music that sounds like background songs of movies. Most of the time Spotify works well for me. I like all music except hiphop and rap.

    Mainly a lot of rock, metal, alternative. When I want to take it easier, I'll throw in some pop and country.

    Alternative, new wave, industrial, some metal, grunge, rap-old school (Dre, etc), some hip hop, punk rock, rockabilly, OLDER country (Willie, JC), sometimes even a little funk. I know its many genres but WTH that's me. Can't listen to most pop or today's stuff because I will gouge my ears out. JK
