I personally like Britney Spears, Shakira and limited Christina Aguilera songs for working out.
Me too + anything by Lady Gaga and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" - the beat is perfect for pounding the pavement (or dreadmill) or even using the rowing machine.
I would not be admitting any of this in the real world
Lately, I put on the 80s music channel, on the home tv. But I know a lot of people here are looking for specific songs for the ipod ... But still, consider that there are some pumped-up 80s songs!
