What are your favorite songs you like to listen to while working out?

  • I was wondering...what are your favorite songs that make you feel like exercising? I'm trying to add more songs to my IPOD to make a rockin' playlist.

    Here are some of my fav's:

    (let's get movin')Into action-Tim Armstrong
    The devil went down to Georgia-The Charlie Daniels band
    Low-Flo-Rider and T-Pain
    Ballroom Blitz-
    Most songs by the Pussy Cat Dolls

    I'll add more when I can think of them
  • I dont really listening to anything cause I have yet to start working out BUT I like anything I shake my boody too lol
  • Here's my current workout playlist - heavy on the 80s

    Pink - Get the Party Started
    Grease - Better Shape Up (I always sing "I better shape up!")
    Vickie Sue Robinson - Turn the Beat Around
    SoundMaster T- Too Much Booty in the Pants (I love this song to work out to)
    Lacuna Coil - Closer (has a dumb slow beginning, but a great running song, discovered this song on Guitar Hero)
    Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero (I am the hero!!)
    Escape Club - Wild Wild West
    Michael Sembello - Maniac (I'm a maniac, maniac...on the ellipti-cal)

    Tom Jones - Sex Bomb (Peppermint Jam remix, very fast!)
    Bony M - Rasputin (relatively obscure 70s disco band, my parents had the 8 Track when I was a kid, so there is huge nostalgia factor. Definitely a good, fast workout song)

    Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance
    The Killers - When You Were Young (awesome running song)
    Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground (from the Center Stage soundtrack - I love that scene in the movie when they are at a sexy dance class)

    Christina Aguillera - Figher Remix
    J. J. Fad - Super Sonic (the S is for SUPER!!)

    Expose - Come Go With Me
    2 In A Room - Wiggle It
    Sheila E - Glamorous Life

    This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
    Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
