Alternachicks & Alternadudes have such great taste in music, it's no wonder that people pass by and post asking us all about our favorite workout tunes!

So post! Tell us about a favorite workout song. Or ten Come back anytime and add more if you come across something good.

This will provide a space for anyone wanting to begin a playlist, update an old one, or just find something great and new. It'll keep us all moving to some good music.

This will be Sticky'd (Thanks Mauvaisroux!) so that it can keep being added onto and modified.

Well, let's start this off!

I usually like to start my workouts off with:

The Distance - Cake
