Working Out

OK, funny that the one dad here chimes in first. HA.

I like the new Fergie stuff. Of course Madonna works. I'm an old school alternative guy so I'd maybe hunt down some old Depeche Mode or something like that.

Here's a list too:

At Costco, there is a CD set (3 in 1) that is called Cardio .....(can't remember the full name but there is a picture of someone working out on it). It is a ton of songs that are sped up to make them faster to work out to. They are great. It cost $15.

All of these are great! I just got a new iPod and am putting some good running songs on there, too. I like Machinehead by Bush, What a Feeling (FLashdance) by Irene Cara, The Way I Are by Timbaland, Boys of Summer by Don Henley.

I also have a couple songs on mine that I didn't originally have in my running playlist that are great to run with. Embarrassing if anyone were to hear me listen to them, but great. One is 2 Legit 2 Quit by MC Hammer.

I am also big on 80s music, so the Flock of Seagulls works for me.
When I was training for the marathon, I had a whole list of songs on my walkman that I listened to that I loved. I can't remember them all, and wish I could! One was Enigma, the first song on the CD, I think.

So many options. I love the link that was suggested here to Fitness mag. Good luck!

I love Eminem stuff while I'm running...it'll get you going...I'd die if my kids listened to it but it does the trick for a good work out. I alternate it with softer stuff so I have periods of lower heart rate here and there. Justin Timberlake and country stuff is good for that.

I second Depeche Mode. Great for working out. I have it in my ipod. Also...this is going to sound crazy, but britney Spears music is great for cardio workouts. I never listened to her until we did a routine to a song at Jazzercise. Now I have a ton of her songs on my ipod. Good Luck!!

The 5150 CD by Van Halen

I love my 80's rock and pop, but must confess my daughters Hannah Montana, High School Musical is good too. Plus I LOVE Blake Lewis (from Amer Idol last year) his new CD is awesome!

I've always preferred Garbage to work out too. Good beat and very energizing.

On my ipod, I always start out w/ My Sharona, then there is zombie by the cranberriesit gets me going on my run...the costco collection is pretty good to for cardio workouts; and have a few cool down songs, I've got landslide by fleetwood mac...

Hi M.-I enjoy working out as well and I love listening to songs like, "Who Let the Dogs Out?" and "Milkshake". What is your flavor for songs? 80s, 90s, current? Do you like rock or pop more? Let me know and I can share my fave songs.

Christina Aguilera "Fighter" is the best, it really pumps you up. I also like Eminem while working out and Fergie like the others mentioned. I am trying to think what is on my workout list, but my ipod is dead and that is all i can think of right now. Oh yeah, the P. Diddy and Christina song "Tell Me", and Kelly Clarkson songs are great!

I love "leave the biker" by Fountains of Wayne! any song by them... they're really fun to listen to.

i always liked Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. It was the "workout" song for Rocky 3 and I always think about him working his butt off!
