Workout songs?

What songs really make you wanna move? HELP im SOO bored with all my songs.

When I'm bored with listening to the same thing-- pandora.com

Whine Up - Kat de Luna

Calabria remix with Pitbull

Two Step..Walk It Out

What Is it - Sean Kingston

Gasolina - Pitbull 

U2- Beautiful Day and Vertigo

Also punk rocky songs that have a lot going on take my mind of running/breathing noises.  

Some techno songs with a steady beat help me out too.  Mostly random mainstream hiphop it what works for me.  

Stronger - Kanye West and pretty much anything by Kylie Minogue

The only time I listen to R&B/Hip Hop is when I am working out.  Most of the songs keep the same beat and tempo throughout the entire song, so it is easy to get in a groove and stay in it.  Kanye West has a song called "Workout Plan" (or something like that), which normally gets me going. 

A buddy recently added some songs on my MP3 player and he included a couple of Metallica songs, St. Anger and Four Horsemen and I was surprised how much these two songs get me revved up. I think I will ask for more next time!

Any funky dance music is good. Pick something with a strong beat that can suck you into it! I really like the A*Teens (hahaha!), an ABBA cover band! I also like hiphop (Black Eyed Peas, Ludacris, and any Southern Crunk Music is AWESOME!), and 80's pop music. Anything from Cyndi Lauper to Madonna to Salt 'n' Peppa! :)

Try to mix it up, too. Don't listen to hiphop straight on for the entire workout or you can get sick of it really quick. I have an iPod shuffle, so I throw all my fun work-out songs on there and I'm good to go!

Hope that helped a bit! Keep on groovin!

this website has a lot of fun and funky mixes to keep you going

Madonna's new stuff and old stuff always works for me in the gym! Love Madonna!

Jem is good, any remix of a song is great too, kind of throws a faster beat in with songs you wouldn't usually think of as good workout songs.

Almost all of METRO STATION
and Cobra Starship: Bring It (Snakes On A Plane), Guilty Pleasure, Damn You Look Good And I'm Drunk (Scandalous), It's Warmer In The Basement...etc.

Wearing My Rolex - Wiley  (not sure you'd have heard of him but good UK grime artist)

(I Got That) Boom Boom - Britney Spears

Groove is in the Heart - Deee-Lite

Any other interesting remixes

songs by: Justice, Space Cowboy and Basement Jaxx

When I'm running I have to listen to either Hip Hop or something HARD like Godsmack or Marilyn Manson.  (Bon Jovi always gets me going too).  Or I throw in some funny ones on my iPod like U Can't Touch This. 

I have my husband make mixes for me.  That ways it's kind of fun going to the gym because I know I'll have new and surprising songs to listen to. 

all downloaded from iTunes:

walk away (workout pace: fast)

 

and best song EVER for working out in my opinion: i hate myself for saying this...

Killswitch Engage

DragonForce

kanye west - workout plan

rihanna - please don't stop the music

miley cyrus - see you again

note: these songs may make it seem like my taste in music is not so great. i like this music, i'm not going to lie, but i like a LOT of other types of stuff too. this is just the best stuff for working out.

Drop Kick Murphys "The State of Massachusetts" - really a great song to run to.

I second the Dropkick Murphy song.
