I'm hooked on "What the ****" by Avril Lavigne.

I really like electronic/triphop/dreampop stuff to lose myself in during workouts. I like the pop stuff too, but a lot of times, I find myself listening to Daft Punk, Justice, LCD Soundsystem, Royksopp, and others.

Waka Waka by Shakira ALWAYS gets me moving! Total energy buzz!

I have slightly different tastes. Some of these are general public approved, others you might not want to seek out if you're light hearted. :)

Arcade Fire - We Used to Wait
The Black Keys - Howlin' For You
Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills
Lamb of God - Something to Die For
Megadeth - Hangar 18
Dethklok - Bloodlines
Slipknot - Psychosocial
Trivium - Into the Mouth of **** We March

Oooh, Muffin! I like your music too!

Thanks. :) My MP3 player is a little ecclectic but is mostly various types of metal. It can be offputting to many, especially women. It's a pretty male dominated music style.

While these songs may not be as fast as something poppy and upbeat, it gets me going and gives me a rush because it takes me back to concerts, and the feeling of being smack in the middle of a mosh pit. I always could hold my own in them, fat or not. :D

I have a fair mix of many genres, but it's pretty toploaded with metal/classic rock/psychadelic rock, industrial and others. I love my electronic music, but I was raised with metal and rock.

OOOOH I am so glad this thread was posted! I am always on the lookout for something new to get me moving! My list is changing as new music comes out.

Here's some of mine and hopefully I will not overlap some that have already been mentioned.

Manian: Welcome To The Club
kittyCat Dolls: When I Grow Up; Wait A Minute
Enrique Iglesias feat. Pitbull: I Like It
Metro Station: Shake It
Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch: Good Vibrations

Move ur :carrot:

I Need a Doctor by Dr. Dre and Eminem! :carrot:

Omg! I'm obsessed with this song!

I, too, listen to music when I am working out that I would never listen to otherwise. I am a sucker for pink, kesha, and lady gaga.

Love this thread!

I just added these two to my workout playlist:

Adele: Rolling in the Deep
Phoenix: 1901


I keep looking for more new (or new to me!) music, so I hope others will keep posting suggestions!

Lemme add a bit of geek to the mix... here's what's new to my playlist...

Abney Park - Building Steam, Airship Pirate, Throw Them Overboard
Dresden Dolls - Guitar Hero
E Nomine - Mitternacht
Fall Out Boy - What's This?

I listen to a lot of different stuff but go-to get pumped songs are...

Teenage Electric - Circle Jerks
Girls - Beastie Boys (also my 4yo's favorite song...)

I have a HUGE workout playlist, but I have to say that some of my absolute favourites are:

It's Raining Men -- The Weather Girls (or the Geri Halliwell version, if you prefer)
Numb/Encore -- Jay-Z vs. Linkin Park
Yeah! -- Usher, Lil Jon and Ludacris
You Can Do It -- Ice Cube

I've gotten to the point where I can't get a good rhythm going without my iPod. (Like someone else here has said, there's a lot of "**** you" breakup type songs on my playlist, but that's mostly because I like to imagine how my ex's face would look if he saw me after I reach my goal.) :D

My playlist changes almost every week! I have to keep it updated or else I get really bored. Here are some of my current faves:

Hey Baby--Pitbull feat. T-Pain
Knockout--Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj
No Hands--Roscoe Dash, etc.
You Lie--The Band Perry
(Don't Fear) The Reaper--Blue Oyster Cult
Hella Good--No Doubt
Be Good To Yourself--Journey
Bad Girlfriend--Theory of a Deadman
Feel Good Inc.--The Gorillaz
Firework--Katy Perry
So What--Pink!

Looks like I need to update my playlist! It's mostly Black Eyed Peas because their music is fast and makes me move.

Mine is:
Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas
Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas
I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

Imma Be makes me want to run, and Diabolical is the best way to end a great workout.

down on me-jeremiah/50 cent
disco inferno-50 cent
just a lil bit-50 cent
ice cream paint job-dj durrough
use somebody-kings of leon
break even-the script

Some club remixes by Mariah Carey are amazing for cardio work outs. They're each like 10 minutes and very upbeat. Give them a listen on YouTube. Trust me they're amazing to work out to!!

Fantasy (Def Club Mix)
Honey (Classic Mix)
Say Somethin' (Morales Stereo Experience)
Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely (Junior Club Mix)
Always Be My Baby (Def Club Mix)

She has like 6 more too. They all have new vocals that go with the beat too. Very good stuff!

My Body by LSG
Toxic Brittney Spears
That Girl-Marques Houston
Whatever you want-Tony Toni Tone

I like to listen to slow music while I am working out because it relaxes me does anyone else do this? My favorite is 90s RnB

This might be a weird one but I recently added When Will My Life Begin from Tangled :) hehe

Wow great suggestions! How about a suggestion of an entire CD I could buy to make it easy? I'm more of 60s through 80s person. :dizzy:
