My "hardcore"

I take my iPod on walks and have this really weird sequence that I tend to follow. I start out with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Then I switch over to Queen's Somebody to Love and Don't Stop me now. From there, I tend to switch to Murder Murder from the Jekyll and Hyde Broadway soundtrack and One Day More from Les Miserables. From there, I just play whatever random stuff appeals to me on that particular day. Told you it was weird!

60's Motown, baby!! Especially Tops & Temps.

I tend to like the older songs from the 60s - 80s, from when I HAD energy. Hoping there is still something left over in my muscle memory from my youth that will keeping moving like I used to.

I'll have to add some of these songs.

My best song, when I'm really pumping away on the exercise bike is the theme from Rocky 1. It really is motivating. I need more songs to follow up that one though. Most songs aren't that fast in my current playlist. I think I'll add on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Pink's Let's Get This Party Started and some Black Eyed Peas.

I also love having "I Sing the Body Electric" from the original Fame movie ahead of Rocky.


These are part of my feel good/cardio playlist:

Simply The Best - Tina Turner
Life (will never be the same) - Haddaway
Fame - Fame soundtrack (the Original)
I Sing The Body Electric - Fame soundtrack (the Original)
Holiday - Madonna
Born To Be Wild
Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Believe - Cher
Last Dance - Donna Summer
Turn The Beat Around - Gloria Estefan
Dancing Queen - Abba
Mamma Mia - Abba
Shadows Of The Night - Pat Benatar
Forever Your Girl - Paula Abdul
Rocky (Gonna Fly Now) theme song
Burning Love - Elvis
Saturday Night Fever soundtrack

Plus, almost anything Disco. That genre has a strong, fast, workout beat.


These are more inspirational than with a fast beat: (But you will need warm up/cool down songs too, if working out. )
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Jefferson Starship
A New Day Has Come - Celine Dion
One Moment In Time - Whitney Houston
The Best Of Times - Styx
We Are The Champions - Queen
Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson
(I am) Beautiful - Christina Agulliera
(I've Had) The Time Of My Life - Dirty Dancing

I'm adding Kelly Clarkson's Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) to my playlist.

Just look at the video. I love how she has real looking people in it. And not all of them are skinny minis.

I put my 82 Foo Fighters tunes on shuffle. Pretty consistently a good workout beat.

Favorite FF workout song is All My Life. Beat tends to match my jogging cadence

 

[Albort]

i listen to a lot of dance musics from the Step Up series and Street Dance 2...

 

[Tinkerboy00]

I found a Disney playlist on the WISH board and that inspired me to create a Disney workout playlist. Cant wait to use it.

Ive also been using the app Songza a lot lately, free music app (similar to Pandora but better). You can select playlists by genre, decade, activity or mood. Ive been loving some of the 90s Dance stuff for working out. Think Rozwalla, Madonna, Amber
