I am noticing my workouts are getting stale because the music I have is getting stale. It sucks that I swear I get sick of the music about 2 weeks after loving it.
Can someone give me some good ideas?
I generally prefer soundtrack type music -- I already have some great music from movies like Kill Bill, Inception, Batman, etc. I generally don't like wrap or anything.
I like latin music, reggeaton and that stuff really makes me push harder, I guess itīs because of the beat.
My favorite workout song right now Euphoria by Loreen (Eurovision 2012 winner), although itīs not latin at all!

I like that one thanks. I also wanted to note a few...
She works hard for the money by Donna Summer
The theme from the Main Event (Barbra Streisand) movie from the 1970s.
If you're into instrumental music, there's a band called Two Steps from ****.
I can't post links because of the post count limit, but you can easily find them on youtube. Do a little searching - their music is fast paced, inspirational and epic!
I don't know if what I listen to would be considered rap music, but right now my exercise playlist faves are as follows:
Blow Me / Who Knew - Pink
Blow - Keisha
That Power / Scream and Shout - Will Am I
Give Me Everything / Baby, Drop it to the Floor - Pitbull
S&M - Rhianna
Glad You Came - The Wanted
Starships / Super Bass - N. Minaj
Forever / Yeah 3x - Chris Brown
Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz
A few more but all along those lines.
The ones I think you might like (also from my playlist):
I'm on Fire - Bruce Springsteen (it's slower but has a nice rhythmic beat)
Into the Open Air - Pixar's Brave Soundtrack
Pool Mashup and Bella's Finals - Pitch Perfect Soundtrack
Some of the more up-tempo stuff from Enya might work like "Wild Child" and "Sail Away"
E.S. Posthumus has some pretty good stuff. I like their "Nara."
I love pretty much anything from Basil Poledouris. His soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian is one of my absolute favorites. Especially the Anvil of Crom (waaaaay energetic with those glorious horns and deep drums) and the music from the Orgy scene (more melodious but still has a great beat). I also love the stuff he did for Cherry 2000, but you might find that a bit dated as it's got some synthesizers going in the background. Just be sure and get the original as the tones are deeper. The ones that come on those compilation tracks sometimes don't sound the same.
To the Stars - Dragonheart Soundtrack
Theme song from Pirates of the Carribean
At least a handful of songs from the various James Bond movies
Main theme from Beastmaster
And right up there next to Anvils of Crom (well, a little below) is the theme song to Terminator.
Hope you can use at least one of these. Sorry about them mostly being fantasy and sci-fi, but those films are usually the ones with the most sweeping scores.
How about downloading an entire opera to your iPod and using that? Mozart's Marriage of Figaro would be a great one to start with, there are some fun upbeat songs .
There's a song that plays on my Pandora workout station that I LOVE! It's the "Shake Senora" remix. Pitbull does it. But I think the original version is fun too!
Workout music gets SO boring so quickly lol. I'm always switching back and forth between country, Top 40 songs, and classic rock. It really just depends on my mood that day. There's a few songs I will always love to listen to and each has their own reason:
Radioactive - Imagine Dragons...I listen to this when I run. It's so empowering!
Some Nights - fun. It's basically my favorite song of all time lol
Just Give Me A Reason - Pink feat. Nate Reuss...I've never hated a song that Pink made lol
Other than that, I just find a good station on iHeartRadio and go for it.
