Music for Working Out

[christiane]

I run 3-4 times a week and until last week I was able to run outside. Now we are in the middle of a brutal cold snap so I have to run inside and need some new music to help me going.

What music do you like to work-out to? I have very eclectic tastes so any & all suggestions would be appreciated!

haha - I posted about this a few months ago. I too get bored with my Ipod from time to time.

Not sure if this is helpful, but if you go to Pandora.com and put in a few songs you like, it will play other similiar songs that you can then buy and load on your ipod. I like the fact that with Pandora I hear songs and groups that I might not have heard before.

That being said, my current favs for running are Dj Got Us Falling In Love Again by Usher, Raise your Glass by Pink, Eye of the Tiger (of course) - anything with a fast up beat. I'm a classic rock girl at heart so my DH totally laughs at my workout music because it's so not "me".

 

[RockAndRollBallerina]

Anything by an 80's hair band, or classic rock and roll gets me running.

Everytime we touch- Cascada
Come on Get In -KT -Turnstall

Home -Marc Broussard
Blame it on the Girls -Mika

Pandora is a wise choice!!! You need something face-paced, like We No Speak Americano Also, check out Mambana - awesome European house music with amazing Latin beats (Libre, Felicidad, No reason). House music is always fun to work out to. I'd also recommend reggae - Bob Marley, Gregory Isaacs, Ub40, Steel Pulse and so on
