  • I was just looking for some songs to add to my mp3 player to listen to while I workout. If you don't mind would you share your favorites? (As many as you can?) Thanks!
  • My list is a bit weird, a LOT of different genres and eras. I do this because I try to keep the pace WITH my bike or treadmill. I can be quite uncoordinated if I don't keep a steady pace, so the music helps. Right now I have a lot of Justin Timberlake like Love Stoned and some others from his latest album, Boom Boom Pow (clean version) by Black Eyed Peas, Bring Me To Life by Evanessence, Xanadu (my FAVORITE movie ever), In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins or My Immortal by Evanessance (usually my cool down songs), Glamorous, Fergalicious and Clumsy (all by Fergie and clean versions), What A Feeling by Irene Cara (Flashdance, another favorite movie) some Gwen Stefani and Boogie Shoes by KC & The Sunshine Band.

    I try to keep as many fast-paced songs in there as possible to keep me going. Everytime I drop a couple of lbs. I reward myself with new songs.
  • What kind of music do you like? I have a rather wide range of songs I listen to. It goes from classical to 80's new wave to rap and anything in between.

    311: all mixed up
    3oh3: dont trust me
    American Hi-FI: Flavor of the week
    Amerie: one thing
    Anberlin:Feel good drag
    Apocalyptica: (they take metal songs and do symphonic versions of them)
    Blink 182:A new hope
    Cake: I will survive
    Ciera: My goodies
    Cold: Stupid Girl
    Cold War kids: Something is not right with me
    Disturbed:Stupify, Down with the sickness, get psycho
    Dope:
    Dropkick Murphys: Shipping off to Boston
    Echo and the Bunnymen:Lips like sugar
    Eminem: We made you
    Flobots: Rise
    Flyleaf:All around me
    Framing Hanley: Lollipop
    Godsmack
