The music on my Ipod was so stale that I could not take it anymore. So I sent out an SOS on Facebook and Twitter asking for suggestions for new workout tunes.
Here are some of their suggestions:
- Britney Spears (I love Britney, especially Womanizer
)
- Joe Satriani
- Fat Boy Slim
- Foo Fighters
- Lady Gaga
- Soundgarden
- Beyonce (“Single Ladies
“)
- Rodrigo y Gabriella
- Disturbed
- Metallica
- Tool
- System of a Down
- Timberland
- and the oddest suggestion? “Too Many D**ks on the Dance Floor” from Flight of the Conchords!
Thanks for all the ideas! Now I have some new tunes to help fuel my workouts and keep me moving.
I must admit though, my all-time favorite is still Livin’ On A Prayer
(Dear Jon Bon Jovi, I am eagerly awaiting your next tour. Please come back soon!)
How about you gang? What song(s) motivates you to get up and move?

Tanya, as I was writing this, I said to myself “don’t forget to include Tanya’s site” and somewhere along the way I completely FORGOT! I’m sorry! I’m glad you put this in the comments because your playlists and song clips are GREAT!

I know this is a mommy site AND I am not a mommy (I’m a daddy) but I do want to share some workout tunes that I think might motivate some of the readers of this site. IF you like electronica, upbeat, high energy music you might like: Hooverphonics or Blue Six. Steady beats that are great to do Tabat’s to.
Fat Boy Slim – excellent call.
I’m a little bummed you left out my Ting Tings recommendation!
And, as you know I heart JBJ too (from our concert experience together) but all I wanted to hear during my first marathon was “OOOOOOOOHHHHH we’re half way there!” and finally did, only at mile 23. Whatever. I took it!
JBJ gets me through many a tough run! (And so does “Gimme More” but I don’t admit that to many people!

It depends upon what I am doing – running or weights. For running or other cardio I am usually listening to pretty heavy rock, such as metallica and (believe it or not) AC/DC Live.
I would suggest:
Coheed and Cambria and Fall Out Boy as well as some select songs from the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs. Always get’s me going.
