inspiring music

hi,

im looking to load my ipod with lots of songs with high tempo and good to exercise to. I was just hoping people could suggest the ones they find the best

cheers

I don't know about inspiring, but this morning while doing my cardio, I was listening to Lou Bega, the Mambo Number 5 CD.  Very uptempo and I was so enjoying the music, that I didn't even notice that my 30 minutes was up until about 5 minutes had passed.

I was listening to some Ol' shakira tracks yesterday ... and techdog I'll download some Lou Bega tracks right now... thanks  

try downloading girls aloud songs

run dmc 'its like that' is the BEST workout song!

I was just discussing this very subject with my boyfriend! Lol!!

Definately something that makes you smile when you hear it.  I like an ecclectic mix, these have been tried and tested and work for me:

'The Prodigy', some of the more up tempo 'Dizzie Rascal' tracks, 1980's pop like A-Ha, Michael Jackson, also weirdly some classical stuff...Vivaldi and Wagner!

Experiment and try some stuff you wouldn't normally listen too.  For example I hate listening to garage but absolutely LOVE training to it!?!?  Go figure... 

Ok, below is the best of my "Sweat" playlist. I hope you can find something on here you like. These are all HIGH intensity songs so worth a try whether you like the music types or not :D
