Well, I have been having a great time using my ipod when I walk on the TM. Have found that certain songs are better than others for keeping the pace up.
My favorite so far is "Fame" by Irene Cara. I am sure there are a lot of other good, fast-paced choices.
What are your favorites?

This is going to sound strange, but I sometimes walk to the Magic in the Streets Disney CD. It has the parades on it and it is a nice pace. (And when I get tired I remember that those kids DANCE that route!)

Right now I'm enjoying "What You Waiting For" by Gwen Stefani. VERY upbeat.

 

[kayeandjim00]

Fresh from the gym and I have to say one I really liked tonight was Nelly's Shake Your Tailfeather - VERY upbeat. Hard not to run a little faster with a song that upbeat! I also really like Maroon 5 and Bruce Springsteen

I bet DH has some of these on CD's in his drawer. I'll have to have him look for them and I can upload them to my MP3 player. Thanks for the idea. That is what I love about this Board, you can pick up such great ideas and motivation. Thanks again!!

Pure Energy--wasn't that by Information Society?

 

[keenercam]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!

I am sooo excited! Lots of new music ideas. Now, I admit, I have never heard of some of them, but that just means I'll have lots of fun on itunes listening to 30 seconds of each song! Thanks!

Any more?


I'm listening. . . .

 

[Tiggerkeeper]

If I listed my music I would surely tell my age!!! Let's just say that Queen's Classics is my favorite!

 

[keenercam]

Hey, Tiggerkeeper, how funny that you said that! I just told my husband on Sunday that he has to track down our copy of Queen's greatest hits because I MUST have it on my ipod! I can't wait to put some of those songs in my workout playlist!

 

[chimera]

Pure Energy--wasn't that by Information Society?

Ok so now I have this mental picture of me walking down the half marathon route reading my Stephanie Plum book while Cam is bouncing along singing Bohemian Rhapsody Did any of y'all see Barrage (or was it Blast) at EPCOT? They did a hysterical version of that song!

And one more time for the dancing banana just cause it's funny.

 

[keenercam]

I LOVE this little guy -- He really makes me want to get up and get moving!

Chimera -- I am a huge Stephanie Plum fan!! Oooooohhhhhh and Ranger, YUM!!! Anyway, I am one of those people who LOVES to read on the treadmill, though at the pace I am trying to do, it is kind of hard. My DH always teases me about multi-tasking. One night, I had my feet in my new foot spa, was watching Princess Diaries 2, eating popcorn, and reading a book. All it would have taken to complete the picture was my ipod for background music!!!

Lizdotcom99 -- Its Raining Men is right at the top of my list. That is a great song to work out to. So are a lot of the songs from "Grease".

"Girls Lie Too" -- another good beat. And, of course, Shania Twain, "Man I Feel Like a Woman"

In HS, my CC coach used ot play a song for the slide show each year. Here's what I remmebe rof the lyrics:

Behind you another runner is born, Don't look back, you'll be there...

Chorus:
And you will run your time. A shooting star across the line. And you will never, never????

Anyone??

Thanks for the songs. Anyone with a ton of free time ant to burn some cd's? (My favorite after the banana)
