Great work-out or distraction songs?
 

Hi everyone,

I must say that I have a new addiction.....my i-pod!

I love to take it on my walks....its a great companion on loong walks. I also have a dance playlist and its great when I can't get outside....it really shifts my mood.

I recently started a play-list to help with night-time eating....it's a great distraction, especially Faith Hill's song, Breathe which helps to remind me to BREATHE!

How about you? Any moving, inspiiring or helpful songs?

My mantra for this year is Just Fine in 'o9! by MJ Blige...it's worth checking out on you tube IMHO!

Just fine,

i usually work out to limp biskit and icp and stuff... i also listen to alot of that hip hop stuff because it keeps me moving.. break stuff by limp biskit is an excellent song to make me feel motivated.. but beware these artists use severe vulgar language!

Thanks katiejames......and thanks for the warning!

One of my top weight loss motivation songs is an old one by Whitney houston....step by Step...it's a great walking song....and Melissa Ethridge's I Run for Life is another great walking song which makes me feel like running!

I usually steal songs from my friend's cd's that they burn me. I don't know much about bands and songs and stuff, I just kinda listen.
My ipod's filled with both metal/Japanese rock and upbeat techno (mostly foreign)
Techno's my favorite to work out to. The upbeat pace and how it makes you (at least me) want to dance distracts you from the fact that you're working as fast as the pace.

Okay, these songs never fail to make my booty move.

Now... the words might not be that great, but the beats is what really matters to me.

Pitbull Ft. Lil Jon - Krazy
Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now) - Bob Sinclar
Put Your Hands Up For Detroit - Fedde Le Grand
Camille Jones Vs Fedde Le Grand - The Creeps
Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand Let Me Think About It

These three songs have pretty much the same beat to them, but they're different, and I like them all.

Calabria-enur by Natasha
Pitbull Ft Lil Jon - The Anthem
Alex Gaudino feat. Crystal Waters - Destination Calabria

Anywho, tell me how you like them!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Tinkerbell, ty!

I had a big workout today and realized that I only had a little over an hour of workout songs on my MP3. I jumped on 3FC and there everyone was with suggestions!

I have a new one to suggest: Kevin Rudolf's Let it Rock. I has a great beat that is exactly timed to the fastest I can go on the elliptical. :D
