I like to work out to fast paced music and also to songs that make me feel somehow empowered.

My favorite work out songs:

Cake - Short Skirt, Long Jacket, Sheep go to Heaven & Shut the @#$% up
Fiona Apple - Sleep to Dream & Criminal
Lords of Acid - most specifically Lady Marmalade & Rough Sex
PWEI (I don't expect anybody to know who this is)

So here's where you're hiding Tina!! I have just come back after going a bit mad with this pregnancy and putting on a little more than I wanted. I have rejoined our "1 pound down" group and was wondering where you had got to.

Come back to us sweetie!!

  • Check On It - Destiny's Child
  • Get Me Bodied - Beyonce (love the line "a little sweat never hurt nobody"!)
  • Beautiful Life - Ace of Base
  • Taste of Dis - Brooke Valentine (love the line "I'm looking good, I'm feeling good, I'm pedicured, I think I'm ready"!)
  • Pass Us By - Brooke Valentine
  • DOA - Foo Fighters
  • Candyman - Christina Aguilera
  • What Are You Waiting For? - Gwen Stefani
  • Head to Toe - Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam
  • Istanbul not Constantinople - They Might Be Giants
  • Family Affair - Mary J. Blige

  • Get the Party Started - Pink
  • Shut Up and Drive - Rihanna
  • This is How a Heart Breaks - Rob Thomas
  • I Want You - Savage Garden

I have a separate play list for running that includes a lot more 80's songs.

My current fave is a little weird and probably most of you haven't heard of it, but...

Fanfare for the Common Man - Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

You'd all recognize the basic piece (its a classical piece by Aaron Copland), but the ELP version is really upbeat and somehow makes me feel like I'm an olympic athlete, headed toward a finish line. NOTHING makes me move faster on the elliptical.

i have a wide mix in my ipod...but my "exercise" file is mostly hard pumping music that gets me going like:
Headsprung - L.L. cool j
Animal - Nickelback
several of P!nk's songs including Cuz i can, God is a Dj, and trouble
I think i love you - a cover by less than jake
pump it - black eye peas (this one always gets me really going...great workout song)
those are just a few...there's a few new songs i need to download too..but that's a small sample

Ohhkay8 07-27-2007 10:45 PM

Okay this is going to sound totally lame... but keep in mind I have little sisters and it's all their fault!!!! :D

Buuuut... Hannah Montana gets me pumped up for a good workout.

There. I said it. Please be kind. :o

Fighter...Christina Aguilera
U Got The Look...Prince

Ooooh, I just found another song I HAVE to add to my playlist. "I Like It Like That" by Tito Nieves. It came on the radio earlier and I couldn't stop moving. :carrot:
Yeahhhh baby, I like it like that! :D

Idealmuse 08-12-2007 03:17 PM

I doubt anyone here knows this one, but for some reason I always really liked the beat in the song "Go Film" by Covenant when I was out doing my walking.

Melgettinthin 08-12-2007 04:35 PM

Lizziness I know and love PWEI! And I could work out to pretty much anything from "This is the day this the hour this is this"!
