Please Don't Stop the Music is definitely going in the mix, along with Pink.

I'm also thinking some Gwen Stefani is in order.

 

[dizneyfan23]

You gotta have "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor.

 

[Kristi1357]

I'm also thinking some Gwen Stefani is in order.

Gwen Stefani & No Doubt are great as well!

Of course, I have to have some Goo Goo Dolls mixed in.
Their older stuff has a better beat for working out: Slave Girl, Long Way Down.
