Walking music??

[sjams]

I posted this on the WISH boards and have gotten a few great ideas, but there isn't much traffic there so I pose this to you all!

I am looking for upbeat music to download onto my iPod for walking. I am not really into Rap, but everything else is fine.

Also besides iTunes where can I download that is safe, honest, etc?

Thanks!!!

Journey music always seems to put a bounce in my step, especially "Be Good to Yourself". Also, Duran Duran's greatest hits get my blood pumping.

I downloaded a workout playlist from Itunes that I really like. It's called Total Workout Cardio-The Basics. It's got songs like We Like to Party, Pump up the Jam, Because of You, I Like to Move it, and Let's get it Started. They use the party mix versions so the bass is really pumping and it keeps me moving!

I never listened to music while running/walking, but I sure wanted to! If I had an iPod I sure would have! The music I wanted to hear was pretty much Linkin Park, a LOT of good music on those albums.

The one song that immediately comes to mind is:

Steppenwolf--Magic Carpet Ride

Just thinking about this song puts a spring in my step. I'm not crazy about the song, all in all, but it does make me want to move!

I walk 6 miles almost daily and some of the music that keeps me going.....I have 2 playlists on my ipod, and some of the music includes,
Poison
The Cult
Bob Segar
Def Leopard
And I always throw REO's Keep Pushing into the middle to give me a little motivation,
When you make a playlist for walking I like to put music in there with a good beat and then throw a slower one in now and then to give me a rest!
