Suggest me some awesome workout songs!
I'm not picky, any songs that have a great beat and get you going are welcome!
|
Flower by Moby. I don't even like Moby but this song gets me started.
And that So What song by Pink does it too :D |
I personally like Britney Spears, Shakira and limited Christina Aguilera songs for working out.

Lately, I put on the 80s music channel, on the home tv. But I know a lot of people here are looking for specific songs for the ipod ... But still, consider that there are some pumped-up 80s songs!
|
Here are some of mine:
Get the Party Started - Pink Single Ladies - Beyonce Never Going Back to Ok - The Afters (I think the song is about a relationship, but to me it's about a relationship with food!) Booty Voodoo - Lee Coulter (an ode to sexy butts!) Whine Up - Kat DeLuna I'm Not Over - Carolina Liar Into the Morning - The Weekend How Far We've Come - Matchbox 20 (very inspiring towards the end of a workout) I've Got the Music in Me - Kiki Dee Band Watch Me Move - Fefe Dobson Hips Don't Lie - Shakira Gotta Work - Amerie Holding Out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler Check Yes Juliet - We The Kings Cobrastyle - Teddybears featuring Mad Cobra Lala - Ashlee Simpson Deceptacon - Le Tigre (bad language!) Shake Your Pom Pom - Missy Elliot Bounce With Me - Kreesha Turner My Big O (I Can) - Johanna Stahley (theme to Ruby) Spice Up Your Life - The Spice Girls Shake It - Metro Station Ain't Nothing Wrong With That - Robert Randolph & The Family Band (very stompy!) When Your Heart Stops Beating - +44 Can't Stop Moving - Sonny J Move It Like This - Baha Men Here It Goes Again - OK Go All of the Above - Big City Rock I Don't Wanna Be in Love - Good Charlotte Too Much Booty In the Pants - 2 Live Crew Somebody Told Me - The Killers Stronger - Kanye West The Cheeky Song - The Cheeky Girls Crushcrushcrush - Paramore Whenever Wherever - Shakira Let's Get it Started - Black Eyed Peas Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers (good cool down song) Remember the Name - Fort Minor |
Glory... that's one long workout! ;)
|
Heh, it's not for one workout - it's just my workout playlist. I re-order it all the time to hear certain songs!
|
I second WhitePicketFences' suggestion for the 80's. Scandal, Pat Benetar, Joan Jett, etc... really work for me.
|
I like "Waking up in Vegas" and "The Warrior".
|
for me i like to go (hard) house and hip hop!
The Prodigy - Outer Space (or is that "out of"??) Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats Eminem - we made you Jay-Z - Big Pimpin, 99 Problems Strike - U Sure Do Sweet Dreams are made of this... and some cheesy 80s/90s.... Hangin on the telephone - Blondie Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads I love finding new music |
Glory, I have alot of those on my playlist! Apparently, I love Beyonce when I'm working out! Thanks for all suggestions ladies. I'm gonna look for some good 80s tunes right now.
|
Coldplay - Clocks (Heaven and Earth Division Remix)
Madonna - Music (Cowgirl goes Crazy Remix) The Bodyrockers - I Like the Way You Move All with excellent driving beats which compels me to get up and move. |
Some of my favs from my workout playlist
Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant Pump It - Black Eyed Peas Brick House - The Commodores Golddigger - Kayne West Think - Aretha Franklin Suddenly I See - KT Tungstall I have many more but these seem to get me going the most. |
You can't go wrong with Rocky's theme song, "Eye of the Tiger", that song gets me pumped every time I hear it. ;)

This thread just makes me smile SO much. Music is the BEST motivator when you're excercising, I love it! This also reminds me that I need to head into iTunes and make myself a workout playlist... I put my whole library on shuffle the last couple of nights and there's just too many songs that don't do the trick!
|
Glory, I'm gonna add almost everything from your list to my MP3! Awesome songs! :D
(Yah, I know this thread is oldish, but I was searching for posts with song suggestions... ;) ) |
My very favorite band for workout songs is Mindless Self Indulgence, at least so long as you don't mind obscenity. Sort of an electrical sound and a really strong beat, and generally a pretty good pace for jogging.
My favorite MSI songs: Never Wanted to Dance Shut Me Up Stupid MF B*****s (well, the uncensored version of that title) On a much cleaner note, Peacemaker by Sonata Arctica also has a really good slow jogging pace and strong beat, as well as a pretty epic guitar solo which always distracts me from the jogging pain. As far as bouncy, peppy songs I'm a fan of 500 Miles by The Proclaimers as well as some Mika songs- favorites being: Grace Kelly Billy Brown Lollipop Love Today Rochester: Thanks for dredging this up. I love music threads. I'm always looking for new things to add to my workout playlist. |
Wow. I posted in here over a year ago! :lol: I can actually add some suggestions though:
Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5 Can't Stop - Maroon 5 Shut Up - Simple Plan (Love thinking about anyone that may doubt my ability to reach my goals when this one comes on... :D) Suddenly I See - KT Tunstal Lucky (Short Stuff Remix) - Lucky Twice Any of Mika's upbeat songs Gotta love music... :D |
Glory87 I am super impressed that you include We the Kings, Metro Station, and +44 in your list--all songs of theirs that I include in mine too!
This is a fun thread. Here are a few of mine: All-American Rejects: Gives You ****, Dirty Little Secret Akon: Beautiful Foo Fighters: The Best of You Jimmy Eat World: Pain, The Middle The Killers: When You Were Young The White Tie Affair: Candle (Sick and Tired) 3OH!3: Don't Trust Me, My First Kiss Chris Brown: Forever Coldplay: Viva la Vida Metro Station: Control Boys Like Girls: Great Escape Scorpions: Rock You Like a Hurricane Heart: Alone, What About Love Daughtry: Over You Ahhhh just listing these makes me want to run!!! |
Being a child of the 80's, all my workout songs are 80's tunes! :carrot: I'm a dork, what can I say! :dizzy:
Some of my favorites are: Footloose (Gets me moving even if I'm not working out!) Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Hey Mickey We Got The Beat Our Lips Are Sealed Lets Hear It For The Boy Totally dorky, but it works for me! :lol: |
I like this thread, even if its old LOL. Good songs never die :) I am not "up" on music so I have a hard time finding songs sometimes. They have to have a cerain beat to get me going. Threads like this are helpful. I just check out the songs on youtube to see if I can get into them ;) I don't have my play list handy but a few of my favorites are:
Lady Gaga: bad romance, poker face Lots of Black Eyed Peas including, I got a feeling, Im A Be, My Humps Sweet Child Of Mine Salt n Peppa: Push It, Shoop Eminem: Just Lose It, Lose Yourself Miley Cyrus: The Climb (good cool down, motivational) |
OMG. okay one of them HAS to be Fighter by Christina Aguilera. It will make you wanna be skinny and kick peoples butts.
then i listen to like dance party club songs (like lady gaga) because it motivates me when im running, that one day ill be one of those hot girls in the club with a slinky black dress. hahahah! |

KISS, AC/DC, Poison, Guns'n'Roses, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Hip hopish or dance style...Prince, Michael Jackson, Black Eye Peas, Outkast, Bloodhound Gang, Salt'n'Pepa, Sugarhill Gang, etc Some of my favorite songs: Bust a Move ~Young MC Billie Jean ~Michael Jackson YMCA ~Village People Calling Dr. Love ~KISS Can't Touch This ~MC Hammer Pretty Woman ~Van Halen Groove is in the Heart ~DeeLite Tubthumping ~Chumbawumba Pour Some Sugar On Me ~Def Leppard Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap ~AC/DC Whomp!

I listen to Beatles radio on Pandora (actually 'Love Me Do Radio' 'cos I found just plain "Beatles" is too wide a spectrum for what they throw out).... I walk for my exercise, and I only have to skip a few slow ones...
|
OMG - Usher
Sexy ***** - David Guetta feat. Akon Lil Freak - Usher Misery - Maroon 5 Blame It - Jamie Foxx California Girls - Katy Perry |
I'm a little schizophrenic in my music tastes, but here is my current jogging playlist (songs are around 4 minutes each):
Cold Play: Viva la Vida Paul Simon: Late in the Evening Beyonce: Crazy in Love Michael Franti & Spearhead: I Say Hey (I love you) Outkast: Hey Ya Eric Hutchinson: Rock & Roll Mary J. Blige: Family Affair I was thinking I should add a little Gloria Gaynor (I Will Survive), TobyMac (Get Back Up), and Brandon Heath (Wait and See). Inspirational lyrics!! Great thread! I'm definitely updating my IPod tonight :). |
Now I feel much older then I am! I prefer Swing/Big Band music for moving. I find it impossible to sit still with The Andrew Sisters playing (so I play this when I need to do housework too!).
|
Oh, I'm so glad people added more suggestions! I can't wait to check them out.
|
If you like that upbeat girly dancy music that a lot of people are recommending, try some Sia. She's an aussy that's just starting to get a little fame.
Sia : The Fight Sia : Big Girl Little Girl Sia: Clap your hands |
Anything by Gogol Bordello...such high energy!
|
I love Eminem new song Not Afraid! I know he is referring to drug addictions but, I have been addicted to food.
