one of my favorite songs to work out is the cha cha slide. You're basicly following instructions from dj and it is a workout.

The entire soundtrack to "Twister" (the tornado movie) is excellent for alleviating treadmill boredom!! :D

I love "These boots are made for walking". Makes me feel a little like Jessica Simpson or Nancy Sinatra on the treadmill. I have it downloaded on my Ipod, and when I'm just about to give up on the Elliptical or treadmill, but still need another 5 minutes, I put that song on and it keeps me going.

Oh a REALLY good one is "Girl From The Gutter" remix by Kina! It is great...it makes you mad and motivated at the same time. It's about being hurt by a old boyfriend.

In genreal I listen to completely different music when I workout. Different from what I'd normally listen to. My list includes "high energy" bands/songs including Utah Saints, RATM, Prodigy, etc.

*Edited to add...

And lately I've been using music that DH has written/created. And music, from friends of his. He's part of the European synth wave. Not really my taste, but fantastic to workout to.

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy--Big & Rich
Mony, Mony--Billy Idol
Let's Get it Started--Black Eyed Peas
Get on Your Feet--Gloria Estefan
C'est la Vie--Chuck Berry
Wanna Talk About Me--Toby Keith
Hold Your Head Up--Argent
Baby Got Back--Sir Mixalot

These all get me up and moving. I made a CD that runs exactly 30 minutes. When it ends, I know I've gotten my session accomplished.
