Hi everyone!

I would love to hear what songs others like to workout to. With several legal websites available to download songs from (like Napster), its fairly easy to burn your own custom workout CD. I'm finding the hard part is picking out what songs to get. So please share!

I'll start. I made my current workout CD from CD's that I already own. Here are some of my favorites:

Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down
Heavy - Collective Soul
Crush - Jennifer Paige
Push It - Garbage
Never - Moving Pictures (Footloose soundtrack)
I'm Free - Kenny Loggins (Footloose)
Echa Pa; Lante [Spanish Cha-Cha Mix] - Thalía (Dance with me Soundtrack)
Jazz Machine - Black Machine (Dance with me)
Chinese Burn - Curve

One song I have always liked doing aerobics to (when I used to go to the gym many moons ago!) is "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark (aka Mark Wahlberg). It's got a really good consistent beat, and I don't believe the words are too bad, from what I remember of it. However, now that I am paying more attention to what I listen to, I may need to look that one up and see waht the actual words are before I recommend in the future!

Thanks, Straitlover!

Here are some other songs I've heard mentioned elsewhere:
Eye of the Tiger
I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor)

I like the oldies of the 50's and 60s.

I'm making a Gym CD right now. I've got 18 tracks currently burning.

N'Sync - Space Cowboys
Justin Timberlake - Like I Love You
Backstreet Boys - The Call (remix)
Tyra Banks - Shake Ya Body (yes, the model, she's got a single out now)
Blu Cantrell - Breath (remix)
Deborah Cox - Up and Down
Sarai - Ladies
Destiny's Child - Emotions (remix)
Jade - 5,4,3,2 Yo Time Is Up
Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana
Kelly Rowland - Can't Nobody
Marques Houston - Clubbin'
Toni Braxton - Hit the Freeway
Ricky Martin ft. Christina Aguillera - Nobody Wants To Be Lonely
Spice Girls - Holler
Spice Girls - Right Back At Ya
Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life
B2K - Everything

Those are definitely gym songs to me. I'm gonna head out to pick ups some batteries, then I'm going to the Gym.

Shakira - Laundry Service (I skip through the slower sonds and come back to them when I'm stretching)
The soundtrack from Clueless
Justin Timberlake - Justified
Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville (not as pop-y but good for an angry girl sort of mood)
I also have a mix cd of different Jamiroquai songs that is fun, too

I work out to "Yo MTV Raps"... rap songs from the 80's!

"Push it, push it good"
