What is in your MP3 Player??? I need a workout music makeover!!!
I worked out this morning and I had my MP3 player in hand. I always get excited by music for many different reasons, but I found myself stopping working out to click through 4 of 5 songs before finding another one that would suffice. Needless to say I need a workout music makeover.
I am very eclectic, so my song lists are diversified, but currently I have the following loaded up (I have quite a few, but here is a sample)
Ben Folds – Philosophy
De Meij – LOTR Gandalf
Whitacre – October
Tichelli – Vesuvius
Cake – I will survive
Orff – Carmina Burana
The A Team Theme
Swingle Singers – 1812 overture
Rockapella – 500 miles
Simon and Garfunkel – Cecili
Simon and Garfunkel – You can call me Al
Yanni – Santorini
John Williams – Star Wars Theme
John Williams – Patriot Theme
James Horner – Theme from Glory
Danny Elfman – Theme from Batman
C&C Music Factory – Everybody dance now
Frank Sinatra – Swing on a star
Queen – Show must go on
Queen – Who wants to live forever
This is just a small sampling of songs that I have and while I love them, I NEED some good PUMPING workout music. So here is where you can help me. I need someone to PIMP my MP3 player… (well I will pimp it, I just need the songs, cause… you know… you know it’s hard out there for a pimp…)
So, ready… set… go… Hopefully by tomorrow I will have enough suggestions to literally rock my ass off…

Voodoo by Godsmack is a great one for working out! The beat alone gets ya pumping. Another idea.. that I do.. Comedy! I have all kinds uploaded i.e. Jeff Dunham, Robin Williams, Ron White, Red Skelton. I have whole CD’s of each uploaded. It lasts more than a few minutes.. therefore eliminating the need to change.. and I’m busy enough chuckling.. all that time on the treadmill flies by! Plus.. happiness is much better for weight loss! Downside.. people think you’re a little nuts when you laugh too much

Cake (multiple tracks)
Guster (multiple tracks)
Finger Eleven – Paralyzer
Muse – (multiple tracks)
OneRepublic – All the Right Moves, Everybody Loves Me
The Cars – Moving in Stereo
Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc.
Shinedown – Sound of Madness
Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs – Wooly Bully
