I've had a few requests for workout song ideas.
As I put this list together I realized it's sort of personal.
But since when has that stopped me? :)
Anyway, what motivates me might not motivate you, but I tried to include songs from my mix that have motivating beats and/or words.
However, there are also some that just have personal meaning to me...but I wasn't quite sure which was which. So you'll have to figure that out.
I've also tried to seperate them out into little categories...the last category is more "hard" music...don't judge me. :)
It really gets my blood pumping when I run.
Without further ado, I introduce you to....

That's not all of my workout mix, but it's all that I felt like sharing.
If any of you have good workout songs that aren't on the list and you're willing to share please let me know.
I'm always looking to change it up.

Funny we have many similar songs. I do see some excellent suggestions. Dream On by Brooke White is really good, it picks up and really gets you amped up. Thanks for sharing!
While you are on Muse...Super Massive Black Hole is a great one to work out to. As is Just Dance by Lady GaGa.
Those are great songs. I'll have to steal some. I love to run to most anything from Panic at the Disco, Fall out boy, and the killers.
I've heard you can get songs with a certain number of beats per minute which then helps you run to that beat per minute, for a faster time or to keep your pace. Like 180bpm is an 8 minute mile or something like that. Did that just make any sense? Pregnant brain over hear.
Have you ever tried that? I want to but haven't figured out how to find out how many beats per minute a song has.
I know that it's totally a "hard song" but Porter and I LOVE "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. It's really really good and has major motivation in the lyrics. It's funny that you post this today because I was making a new playlist for my iPod for about an hour this morning. Had you posted this sooner, it would have gone so much more quickly!! :)
It says something about my age when I only recognized the songs from "Hairspray" and not any of the recording artists (okay, I do know who Brooke White is!). I just don't listen to today's music. I'm old and prefer the oldies! Your list made me laugh, just reading the titles.
