Hi 30 somthings! I cannot work out with out my ipod or in a class with loud music. I also cannot work out to the same old same old music. If it is in my ipod shuffle (best invention for working out) for more than 2 weeks, I must really like it. I need motivating music. Something that make me want to push it. I am running out of options with changing it so much and I just want to know what you all listen too. What gets you going?

Here are some of mine that might help you:
Linkin Park - Bleed it out
Christina Aguilera - Fighter
Britney spears remixes
Eye of the tiger - Rocky theme
Missy Elliott - We Run This
Poison- nothing but a good time
Hairspray sound track- you can't stop the beat
Hits of motown - I want you back remix (Michael Jackson)
Love all the shape workout cd's. pop music remixed to get up and go.

Floging Molly is the perfect tempo for running. I love it!

Anything by Rage against the machine or Theory of a deadman gets me pumped. and Carrie Underwood - Last name, as well as Boondocks by Little Big Town and some Guns n Roses is always good!!

I love Muse and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. 80s music is always good, like Run DMC - Tricky, anything Blondie, The Ramones, Flashdance soundtrack, Mickey, and I love New Order.

Right now 311 has a nice good beat. I'm starting slowly so the funky groove is perfect. But, the music depends on my mood. When I start gearing up I'm not sure what I'll listen to.

I agree whole heartedly!

I have numerous songs, and I don't listen to the all the time. I might listen to some songs today and different ones tomorrow.

I also have a iPod shuffle and that is what really got me motivated.

I have all kinds of music:

Godsmack, Hinder, Nickelback, Wicked soundtrack songs, Sweeny Todd songs, Lita Ford, Pink, Christina Agulera (spelled wrong), Motley Crue, My Chemical Romance, dance club music, Kid Rock, 90's music, just all kinds.

Lately I've been listening to Fergie, and System of a Down, plus my niece (who works at a music store) rec'ed a Club Mix... I'd have to get it to remember the title; it is 2 cd's with a bunch of upbeet fast -paced music. More instruments and such then words. Pretty cool mix, if I say so myself.
