Thought this would be a good topic for the workout board! Whats your favoirtie tunes to plug in and listen to while working out??

I of course have Proud by Heather Small I have others I like as well I'll list them later as I'm getting ready to run out the door to do my grocery shopping!
Have a wonderful weekend y'all!

Great topic was just going to ask that of friends today, knowing a persons fav. music lets you know a lot about them. I listen to what ever my mood is in from cont. christian to rock.

I really miss walking! I hate that I injured my knee! When I was walking I had a great walk mix on my iPod - and using the Nike+ system - this became a fantastic tool!! Maybe I'll try working my way back up again and see if the knee can take it. We just won't tell the doctor .. will we?

Here is what's in my old walking play list:



And in my Summer 2008 play list:



I'm a HUGE music addict - I even review new songs on my web site every Sunday. On my iPod I have a play lists for "Housecleaning" and "Depressed" ... just to name a few. I am always looking for NEW bands .. so if you've heard of someone new that you'd like to share .. please let me know!

There's a thread in the 50 Club of "playlist suggestions" y'all might want to check out. They came up with some awesome ideas!

I like to get a little old school when working out.
I love songs from the 80's. I dont know why I like these songs so much, but I remember listening to them when I was a little boy.
MC Hammer
Vanilla Ice
Nelson Brothers
Run DMC
Jackson 5
Michael Jackson
Funky Town
I love slow thinking songs like "Amen" by Kid Rock
Kanye West

oh yes I had an old school list I use to love to use too unfortunately lol since getting my new computer I haven't transferred it on over I really need to!

I'm kind of schizophrenic when it comes to music, I love everything. So, I have playlists for "Rockin Country Workout" with Fever by Garth Brooks, Hick Chick by Cowboy Troy, Mean Girls by Sugarland....

Then we have "High School Flashback" with Bon Jovi, Winger, Motley Crue...

On to "Cardio Pop" with Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Katy Perry

I've got some hip hop, dance mixes, random songs from my youth (Like the Dead Milkmen... Big Lizard in My Backyard), and then more soulful music like Nora Jones and Patty Griffin.

I've also got "The Secret" on my iPod, and listen to that sometimes when I'm doing a cardio machine, it helps keep my mind in the right place.

I don't listen to music most of the time when I'm running. Instead, I listen to podcasts of the Dave Ramsey Show, because in addition to my Total Body Makeover, I'm also doing a Total Money Makeover. Getting out of debt and staying out of debt forever!

Marilyn

I'm living like no one else, so later I can LIVE like no one else!
Thank you, Dave!

The music I listen to is from many years ago.....Janet Jackson, her Control album. Back then I used a non-Sony version of a walkman and to this day, I still use a non-sony cassette player. Some day I'll figure out how to use the MP3 player that my husband bought me one year for Christmas (it is an i-pod wanna be..... not in to "name brand" stuff).

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE music and have just about everything you can think of in my ipod, from Il Divo to heavy metal to contemporary christian. My faves though are Blue October, Pat Benatar, MercyMe and 80s pop! I do like some country to work out to as well, but the love songs. Don't know why...perhaps its because I sing my heart out to them as well...good thing the music at the gym is loud hahah!

You just cannot beat the 80s great, great, GREAT decade for music! I love Nelson too! and you know, Gunnar Nelson did an AWESOME job with weight loss!

My brother LOVES Dave Ramsey and is always encouraging me to follow him. i do have one of his books and do intend on reading it at some point. I want too want to be able to use his advice to have a nice nest egg one day

Speaking of Workout Music...
We were ... really ...


I just randomly stumbled upon the most awesome site for FREE and LEGAL music downloads! And not random weird stuff you've never heard of, either ... sure there's some of that but a lot of new & popular stuff ... AND I just finished downloading Dan Evans' full cd! (You know ... from LAST season of TBL?)

Anyway, the site is spiralfrog.com and works best in Internet Explorer (LOTS of errors if you try running it through Chrome). You do have to download their download manager (not real big and not a real big deal) and I guess "renew" your free membership every 30 days ... but so far it's SO worth it!

Thanks Karen! That's awesome - always looking for freebies!

Venga Boys and Aqua make for a reat fast paced workout!!

I really like to listen to Bon Jovi.

Christian hard rock for me: Disciple and Demon Hunter

I listen to usually music from the 80's. Anything from Billy Joel to Tesla. LOVE my rock!!
