Vani its funny you mention Gasolina - I have several different remixes of it on my ipod!!! During my time in Ecuador that was *the* song of the moment, so it was everywhere 24/7 it felt like. Hearing it brings back special memories for me and can't help but make me feel energised!!!! Do you know of similar reggaeton songs? We are sadly laking that genre here in Australia!!!! shiny on "Tracks for running + Powersongs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tracks-for-running-powersongs#post-90660 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:53:30 +0000 shiny 90660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Podrunner is great! I have nearly 1000 songs loaded up on my ipod, and I simply hit "Shuffle." If a song comes on that doesn't fit my running mood for that day (too slow, too fast), I just hit skip and go on to the next. I did make up lists just for running awhile back, but at present moment, those songs are a bit too fast for me and I am trying not to overdo it and run too hard. One of the songs on that playlist is "White Lines." It's great because it's longgggg.... you can get into a groove. My playlist also includes a lot of Black-Eyed peas too. :-) I also like running to the entire Verve Remixed album. And Abba's Greatest Hits. The one problem with Shuffle, lately, is that I keep getting a Helen Reddy song. LOL. Helen Reddy was the first album I ever bought, when I was 10, so of course I had to have it on my ipod! It's just one album out of a hundreds, but one or two songs seems to come up every single day for some odd reason. It's become quite comical. I keep wondering if the universe is trying to tell me something - what, I cannot BEGIN to fathom! kellygirl on "Tracks for running + Powersongs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tracks-for-running-powersongs#post-90635 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:48:12 +0000 kellygirl 90635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great thread, Vani and everyone! I'm so excited to check out some of these unfamiliar tracks--hoping they will get me out of my music rut. Vani on "Tracks for running + Powersongs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tracks-for-running-powersongs#post-90622 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:33:27 +0000 Vani 90622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW!!! This amazing! SO many songs, some of which I recognize and some I don't. Guess who's going to be <a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com">Grooveshark</a>-ing all day?! Sarah, Kristen, Melody, I have many songs that I find great to workout to but don't listen to IRL. E.g. Gasolina (Daddy Yankee). These were just a few songs that I have on a CD here at work, I have many more on my ipod like these :-D Melody, I have one song on my ipod that is...explicit...by Eminem (duh) called "Shake That" and would be very embarrassed if anyone were to overhear me listening to it. But darn if it doesn't get me moving! Medusa, Finally someone who's heard of Santogold! I felt like I was the only one for miles :-S I love her sound, very different but so eclectic and in a fun way. M.I.A. rocks :-) LOP, thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely check them out. I use Podrunner's podcasts when I'm trying to maintain a specific BPM. These are more like techno remixes with very little vocals. Tam, Whoa! Thanks so much! Real Slim Shady cracks me up every single time! I know it used to be on my rotation but forgot all about it.

You're right about needing different music for different activities. I sometimes just listen to a new CD I bought while running even if it is not the traditional workout music. You don't need to have the beat while running, but with other activities like steps, aerobics, stair climb, etc. you need a 4x8 beat. In a professional workout mix, the tracks should follow each other without a break and without breaking the rhythm. Hard to get it right at times. I had to work with DJs at times to mix my own when I was a trainer. It takes a long time. I've been using <a href="http://www.powermusic.com/home.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.powermusic.com/home.php</a> for many years for workout music. It was the best alternative to making my own workout mixes. The BPMs of tracks are arranged for a full workout starting with warm up and cool down so one needs to be careful to finish the workout. I recently came across the Biggest Loser workout mixes available on iTunes and liked the two I purchased. I think they are also made by Power Music... medusa on "Tracks for running + Powersongs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tracks-for-running-powersongs#post-90457 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 21:39:06 +0000 medusa 90457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a workout playlist - when I find a good workout song I go into itunes and put the word "workout" in the comments section. Then my playlist is all the songs with that comment, randomly ordered. I can add/remove songs by just changing the comment. Since you mentioned M.I.A. and Santogold I'll say that I love most songs from the for working out. Also: I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett.

Can't listen to this mess with my kids! And my dear husband thinks it's terrible! But it gets me going! London Bridge - Fergie Fergilicious - Fergie Glamorous - Fergie Promiscuous - Nelly Furtado Buttonz - Pussycat Dolls Dontcha - PCD Beep - PCD Wait A Minute - PCD SexyBack - Justin T. Ain't No Other Man - Christina A. Deja Vu - Beyoncé Stupid Girls - Pink Because I Can - Pink U + UR Hand - Pink Lady Marmelade - Pink, Maya, Lil Kim, Christina A. I need to add some Lady Gaga ... Pokerface would be great to run to.

I rotate a Hot List playlist monthly, and I have a C25K playlist that is in need of an energized rehaul. I like songs that have fast, strong, steady beats when I run. There's disco and pop and rap and one-hit wonders galore. Kings of Leon, Be Somebody Kings of Leon, Use Somebody Carrie Underwood, Before He Cheats Black Eyed Peas, Boom Boom Pow Boy George, Bow Down Mister Saliva, Click Click Boom Eminem, Lose Yourself Christina Aguilara, Fighter Marky Mark, Good Vibrations Pointer Sisters, Heaven Must Have Sent You Kelly Clarkson, I Do Not Hook Up Melissa Etheridge, I Run For Life Big & Rich, Loud (Lil Jon Country Club Remix) Hanson, MMMBop Pink, Sober ABBA, Waterloo Bee Gees, You Should Be Dancing Sarah on "Tracks for running + Powersongs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tracks-for-running-powersongs#post-90407 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:59:07 +0000 Sarah 90407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Other than Weezer, Green Day, Coldplay, The Who, and Jem, I don't listen to this stuff in my every day life. Sarah on "Tracks for running + Powersongs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tracks-for-running-powersongs#post-90406 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:56:32 +0000 Sarah 90406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just use my 'Pod when I run. I have oodles of eclectic stuff on there. Rihanna (Pon de Replay, and Don't Stop the Music) Lady GaGa (Poker Face) Gwen Stefani (Sweet Escape) Elvis Remix (Little Less Conversation) Natasha Bedingfield (Pocket Full of Sunshine) The Who (Pinball Wizard) Green Day (On Holiday, Time of Your Life) Snap (The Power) Madonna (coupla tunes) Justin Timberlake (Sexy Back) Fergie (London Bridge *edited version, Glamorous) Black Eyed Peas (Pump It) Jem (various tunes, check her out she's great!) Coldplay (Clocks, Viva la Vida) Weezer (Holiday) White Stripes (Seven Nation Army) ...and that's all I can remember off the top of my head. I know I have more. But not enough. My music repeats now that I'm running more. Do you use iTunes? They have a great cross feature. If you put in a song or artist you like it pulls up suggestions. Sort of like a DVR for the iPod. :) Another great tool is each month Shape magazine gives you a snippet of their cover celebrity's tunes list. Vani on "Tracks for running + Powersongs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tracks-for-running-powersongs#post-90400 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:45:17 +0000 Vani 90400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My old workout playlists have grown stale and I'm looking for something fresh to put there. My old trusty favourites (in no particular order) have been: 1. Hey Mama, Pump It by Black Eyed Peas (I forgot to mention this group in my fav 90s bands list) 2. Smack That B**** Up, Mindfields by Prodigy 3. History Repeating, Take California by Propellerheads (Another uh-mazing band with sadly too few songs out there) 4. Lose Yourself by Eminem 5. Mr. Brightside by The Killers 6. We Made It by Linkin Park/ Busta Rhymes 7. Right Here, Right Now by Fatboy Slim 8. Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go) by Garbage 9. Break Stuff, Rollin' by Limp Bizkit 10. Battle Flag by Pigeonhead 11. Come Around by M.I.A. 12. Bawitdaba by Kidrock 13. What Are You Waiting For by Gwen Stefani 14. Summer Song by Joe Satriani 15. Mas by Kinky 16. Rock Me by Pills 17. Kashmir by Led Zeppelin 18. L.E.S Artistes by Santogold 20. Elevation by U2 21. Bab O' Riley by The Who 22. That's Right by Jesse Cook I switch between these songs and the amazing podcasts from <a href="http://www.djsteveboy.com/podrunner.html">Podrunner</a>. Lately I've been feeling like I need to do some rehauling. I still won't probably do too many top 40 pop songs. I feel like I need different type of music when I'm running outside versus when using the stairclimber at the gym. What do you listen, if you do listen to anything, while working out?
