New Member Seeking Suggestions

  • for workout music.

    In an effort to eliminate the boredom factor associated with solitary exercize such as walking, running and bicycling, I'm going to load my ipod with music (uptempo) that will inspire me to keep going when I get bored or a little winded.

    Can anybody suggest some music that would be good for that purpose? I'm thinking of stuff like Eye of the Tiger and The Final Countdown (themes from Rocky), Heart's Barracuda, Tina Turner's Proud Mary, Weather Girl's It's Raining Men, Black Eyed Peas' My Humps, Pointer Sisters' I'm So Excited, and Rolling Stones' Satisfaction...

    TIA

    BTW, I love this site and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.
