    Ojos Asi - Shakira
    Like a Prayer - Madonna
    Express Yourself - Madonna
    One Week - Bare Naked Ladies
    La Camisa Negra - Juanes
    Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls

    Always looking for new ones - one way I reward myself when I reach a mini goals is to buy 5 or 10 new songs from itunes...so let me know what gets you moving!
  • la camisa negra-i love it!

    i listen to alot of "rap"/hip hop while i work out-and then after that playlist i just shuffle, which is a mix of country, rock, rap, etc etc...little bit of everything
  • I mainly have on my ipod songs by Three Days Grace, Metallica, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Korn, etc....angry music

    A few of my fav are:
    Lollipop - Framing Hanley
    Riot - Three Days Grace
    Click Click boom - Saliva
    Inside the Fire - Disturbed
    I don't care - Apocalyptica
    I hate everything about you - Three Days Grace
    Master of Puppets - Metallica
    Toxic - Britney Spears
  • I listen to Britney's Blackout album. But I'll deny it if you ask me!!
  • Dropkick Murphys!!! An odd mix of hard Irish Punk music (neither of which are normally my style) but it gets me so amped! If you're looking for a song to check out by them I recommend "The State Of Massachusetts" or "I'm Shipping Up To Boston."
  • I love the new Black Eyed Peas song- Boom Boom Pow.

    I like to listen to Trapt, Three Doors Down, Disturbed and Chevelle when I run or some hip hop, the beat gets me going.
  • Bob Marley
    U2
    Chilli Peppers
    Classic Rock
    If its got a beat I listen to it.
  • i guess i'm kinda weird, but i like to listen to the same album whenever i do the same type of workout. something about the routine of it helps me gauge my progress or something. i dunno. and also i am too lazy to make playlists, so i just listen to albums straight through. if i'm doing a run longer than 4 miles, i listen to of montreal because it's upbeat and i can listen to several albums back to back without having to fuss with the ipod. if i'm doing a shorter run, i either listen to of montreal or switch it up with girl talk's night ripper album. it's all samples and mashups so it really keeps me moving because each segment is really short. it works really well with sprint intervals for me. when i do weights i tend to listen to peter bjorn and john. sometimes i switch it up though.
    um, ok i guess i do sound sort of weird. hmm...

    Not so weird, I do this too If I'm on one of my long runs I know how well I'm doing depending on how I'm feeling at a certain song. I know how close to the end I am by a particular song.
  • Scissor Sisters, Muse, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, The Beatles and The Killers
  • Ojos Asi - Shakira! Brilliant gym song. It just makes you want to move, for sure

    I usually listen to any songs that just make me want to shake my booty haha Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Eat World, Third Eye Blind - my taste is all over the place. As long as it keeps me going though, you'll find it on my iPod
  • I have a few artists that have a lot of upbeat songs on certain albums that I cycle through: Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, INXS...but lately I've been really giving in to a guilty pleasure and turning to my sexy/dirty pop chics to pull out my inner bad girl...stuff like Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears...GUILTY AS CHARGED!
  • If you like Shakira, try Beautiful Liar (a duet with Beyonce) and Hips Don't Lie with Wyclef Jean. My favorite for a perfect running rhythm is Rihanna's Disturbia.
  • A mixture of new & quite old, as befitting a lady of my advanced years:

    New (or new-ish) dance, pop & R&B: "Single Ladies"* by Beyonce, "Poker Face" by Lady GaGa*, "Low" by Flo Rida, "Forever" by Chris Brown, "Crazy," Charles Barkley, "SexyBack," Justin Timberlake, "Four Minutes," Madonna & Justin Timberlake, "Shut Up & Let Me Go,"* Ting Tings

    Older classic rock with a driving beat: "Long Train Running" & "China Grove" Doobie Brothers; "Sharp-Dressed Man,"* ZZ Top; "Pride & Joy" & "Cold Shot," Stevie Ray Vaughn; "Just Wanna Make Love to You," Foghat; "Call Me," Blondie; "I Wanna Be Sedated," the Ramones

    Very old-school soul, nearly antique ;-): "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone,"* the Temptations, "Theme from 'Shaft'," Isaac Hayes, "Back Stabbers," the O'Jays, "Proud Mary," Ike & Tina Turner

    * = Denotes a current obsession which I must hear every day. I tend to play things over & over again, like a kid, till I wear them out utterly.
  • I listen to pop and hip hop music. Anything from Britney spears and backstreet boys, to 3LW and Shaggy. Its not what I listen to any other time. In normal everyday listening I prefer Christian Alternative, but it just doesnt get me moving like my workout music, my DH has termed my workout time as Teeny Bopper Time. Because I dance around to the music while working out.
