Workout Music

[biondetta]

Rhianna's Pon de Replay and Roisin Murphy's Ramalama are my two absolute favorite songs to work out to. I can go for extra time on the exercise bike if I've got those songs to listen to and they really help get the intensity up, as well. Or, sometimes I just dance to them and get a pretty good workout that way. Considering I'm the complete opposite of Margo and hate working out, I need whatever motivation I can get!

I'm scared; JTalia and I have almost the exact, same iPod playlist!

Right now, one of my favorites to crank is The Faint's "Your Retro Career Melted." If THAT don't getcha all euphorically sweaty, then I don't know what will!

I forgot a few others:

More Bounce in California - Soul Kid #1
Let Me Blow Ya Mind - Gwen Stefani & Eve
MMMBop (now that's embarrassing!) - Hanson
Pimpin' All Over the World - Ludacris

and I just added:
Only - NIN
The Hand that Feeds - NIN
Mudfootball - Jack Johsnon

Check, check and check. However, I have WAY more JC Chasez on my list than you do. Oh, man. I may need to retitle my workout playlists "Self-Loathing" instead of "Teen Poo"!

[Deleted]

Wow, we have really similar taste. I know, I'm ashamed of it, too! At least we're not alone!

By the way, do you recommend any other songs that I might not have listed?

Work out music!

I like a good beat. Something that gets me going and ready to bop around. And keeps me on the elliptical longer, because when I'm not listening to music I'm on and off the thing in 5 minutes.

k-os - flyPaper
k-os - B-Boy Stance
k-os - Neutroniks
