Workout Music
I have to have music when I work out. I find myself listening to the same songs over and over though, which can get boring.
So what do you work out to? What are your top 5-10 songs?
Thanks!

Re: Workout Music
Ooh this is a great topic [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ! Im BIG on music while Im working out...it keeps me pumped and motivated! I try to make playlists specific to my workouts! Like if Im running outside and depending on how many miles im doing, I'll usually create a playlist that will start me off smooth, then towards the middle I'll add up tempo stuff, then towards the end it has to be a song that's super krunk to get me finished! But any other old time when Im just working out, I put the ipod on shuffle and just let it play! Here are a few songs that almost always stay in rotation:
1.) Get Me Bodied- Beyonce
2.) Show Me What You Got- Jay-Z
3.) Working Day & Night- Michael Jackson
4.) Stronger- Kanye West
5.) Swing Ya Rag- T.I. feat. Swizz Beatz
6.) Can You Feel It- Michael Jackson
7.) I Wanna Dance With Somebody- Whitney Houston
8.) Roc Boys- Jay-Z feat. Kanye West
9.) Luchini/This is It- Camp Lo
10.) Baby- Pharrell feat. Nelly
I can work out to anything Michael Jackson...he has the best workout songs! Gosh! LOL! Also I like to take it back ol school with Earth, Wind, & Fire too! That definitely gets ya girl going! I work out to a variety of music though! I may come back next week and have a whole new list of songs! LOL! But currently, the above songs are in heavy rotation!

Re: Workout Music
@perkynapp Hahahahaha! I looove Earth, Wind, & Fire! You can never be too young for them! I got hooked on their music while I was in college! I was on the dance team for 3 years in college at an HBCU school, so we performed at halftime with the band at football games and they played a lot of Earth, Wind, & Fire! That's how I mainly got hooked! I've seen them at Essence Festival before and they are just awesome! So yeah, the youngsters like me like to groove to them too! LOL!

Re: Workout Music
@natural83 and @wild_honey I like the way you girls think..you know a workout isn't a workout unless it's got Michael in it! I would blast his BAD cd all day everyday during my biking workouts in the summer!
My playlist right now would most likely consist of:
1. Automatic - Pointer Sisters
2. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin - Michael Jackson
3. All Time Low- Shameless
4. Call Me - Go West
5. Danger Radio - Kiss N' Tell
6. Another Part of Me - Michael Jackson
7. September - Earth Wind & Fire (you know I had to have them too!)
8. Million Dollar Bill - Whitney Houston
9. Get Up - Mary Mary
10. Shake It - Metro
That's all I can think of right now..usually just put my ipod on shuffle and whatever fast beat comes on I just run with it. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Re: Workout Music
When I run....uhm, I mean Power walk (I hate running) I listen to De La Soul - Are you in? Nike+ Original Run. Got it on iTunes it's a 45 minute joint (literally one music file), that has amazing transitions from warm up, intense music/lyrics and then cool down music. If you were ever a De La Soul fan it will not disappoint. You know it's good when you're pushing yourself through the faster paced songs and no one is looking:)

Once my soca is on, the trini in me comes out and I get all crazy and hyper lol. I love my soca podcasts.
I also do trance podcasts, helps me catch up on new trance music as well as keeps me hyped throughout the exercise.

Re: Workout Music
Wow am loving the music playlists on here. I'm not usually a dance/electro fan, but I find that Basement Jaxx and Jamiroquai get me in the mood all the time. So I work out to my Best of both albums as the high energy beats keep me going!
But I could be tempted to throw in a bit of EWF (love them!!!!!!!!!)
