Playlist Ideas For Working Out

[gfmolly]

Happy New Year!

My resolution is to turn my walking workout into a running workout, but I need good tunes for that on my ipod. Please post your favorite workout tunes so that i can build myself a playlist!

I like any type of music except country (sorry).

My favorite groups are Dave Matthews, Phish, Keane, but really I am open to all ideas!

Thanks!

Well, Country and Country/Blues is all there is out there worth listening too so, I guess you don't want my vote ! I love Country music. How about a cross over song--how about Rockstar--I Wanna Be a Rockstar should be great to work out to--started out as rock music and crossed over to country--makes us both happy!!!!!

Some may laugh....BUT my favorite work out tunes come off the Rocky 4 soundtrack. The training montage gets me moving every time!!!

I don't work out, I walk (I live in NYC) and I prefer Daughtry. His new album is GREAT for getting you going! The new Carrie Underwood is pretty rockin' too! and no....I'm so not an American Idol fan!

Hi Terri!

I started running in early September of last year and have run three 5Ks since. It gets addictive!! Here's what I listen to on my iPod -- the beats are good to run to.

Good Luck!

Thanks everyone! Keep the tunes coming-it really is helpful. I'm not doing so well with my goal...but haven't given up. My favorite thing to listen to so far has been some good Dave Matthews tunes. Two-Step is a good one and they last forever, so that helps me stay on the treadmill!

There are some awesome mash ups on the internet that you can find....some of my favorites are a mashup of Alicia Keys "You don't know my name" and Aerosmith "Sweet Emotions", ACDC's "Back in Black" and Queen's "We Will Rock You" and probably one of the most famous mashups called Ray of Gob (Madonna and the Sex Pistols). Probably my all time favorite, which you can view a video of on You Tube, is Sexy Sunglasses (Cory Hart "I Wear my Sunglasses at Night" mashed with Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack").

I also love Icky Thump by White Stripes, Hitchin a Ride by Green Day and Move Along by All American Idiots to get things movin' along!!

Have fun!
