    "Love Song" - Sara Bareilles
    "Such Great Heights" - The Postal Service

    "See You" - Saves the Day
    "If I Told You This Was Killing Me, Would You Stop?" - The Juliana Theory
    "Change" - Tracy Chapman
    "Dancing in the Moonlight" - Van Morrison

    Alright, I won't go on and on. Just a sample-- let me know if you like any of them!
  • As far as tv shows (on my ipod video), I like short, mindless things like old Friends episodes where I can easily pay attention.

    Here's my most recent workout playlist:
    If I Leave This World Alive- Flogging Molly
    The Pretender- Foo Fighters
    Sexyback, Love Stoned, etc... - Justin Timberlake
    Starlight, Invincible- Muse
    Try Again- Aliyah
    Umbrella- Rhianna
    Bartender- DMB
    It's Bad You Know- R.L. Burnside

    cool down song- "Cold" Annie Lennox
  • Oh! Rilo Kiley, so adorable, MissChris. I'm obsessed with "Glendora."

    Workout pump-me-up music?

    "We Used to be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols
    "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" by Fedde Le Grande
    "San Fransisco" by the Global DJs
    "Man Eater" by Nelly Furtado
    "Chelsea Dagger" by the Fratellis
    "California Dreaming-Remix" by Benny Benassi (It's a pumped up version of the old song)
    "Intuition" by Jewel
  • I have been putting "Gimmie More" by Britney Spears on repeat on my iPhone while I'm on the elliptical. GREAT BEAT!!
  • Quote: "We Used to be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols
    I love that song, I totally forgot about it (and Dandy Warhols) until I started watching Veronica Mars recently. Kristen Bell is about my height, so it gives me tons of motivation, because I would love to look like her.
  • Lately, I've been listening to the new Brittney Spears too - and the Timbaland album during my workouts.

    Wouldn't we all??
  • Have you ever seen The Last 10 pound Bootcamp? I dont know if they play it anywhere other than Canada and I dont know where you live. I find that any time I watch that show I want to eat more healthily and go out for a run! It's really motivating.
  • Dude, I live in Canada. (Actually, I used to live in Ottawa, heehee.)
    What station does it play on?
  • I always thought I had to listen to music while working out, but since my mp3 player died (and I have yet to buy one) i've been surviving.

    However, before it broke. I listened to lots of classic rock, thrash metal, heavy metal, black metal, some hip hop and R&B, mainly things that get my blood pumping and GOING going going!!! Any Iron Maiden, Old Metallica or Megadeth can pretty much get me pumped. Although, I have to struggle not to sing along while I'm working out for fear of making the other people in the gym believe something isn't quite right with me, lol.
  • Oh, yea, Janet Jackson's new song has a great beat as well. I play it at home, I only wish I could play it while I work out.
  • Jelbb, the last 10 pounds bootcamp is on slice. It's awesome. I also love the show x-weighted, also on slice. I try to catch them whenever I'm at the gym.
  • I looove Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Lately I've fallen more in love with them because they are SO easy to work out to. All of their songs are covers but in a lot of cases, they're way faster covers. Their songs aren't too long either so I try to speed up with the beat and then slow down for a song and then speed up with next song and so on. Usually I listen to them and watch whatever is on the TV at the gym (usually court shows).
