I need some new music to work out to and was wondering if any of you guys might have any ideas...
So far I have thought of:
La Roux - Bulletproof (and In For The Kill)
Flo Rida - Low (and Right Round)
Cascada - Evacuate The Dancefloor
Michael Jackson - Thriller / Beat It / Billie Jean / Smooth Criminal / Blood On The Dance Floor / The Way You Make Me Feel / Bad etc
Gwen Stefani's solo albums
Various cheesy pop songs from various 90s bands (Spice Girls, Five, a1 etc)
Duran Duran - Girls On Film / Rio
Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go / Freedom / I'm Your Man
George Michael - Faith
Madonna - Material Girl / Four Minutes / Give It To Me / Sorry / Hung Up
Britney Spears - Gimme More / Womanizer
Rihanna - Disturbia / Don't Stop The Music / Shut Up And Drive
Beyonce - Crazy In Love / Single Ladies
Coldplay - Yellow (for stretching)
Justin Timberlake - SexyBack
Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire
Any other ideas? I'm thinking along sort of dancey/poppy uptempo lines, though obviously any slower stuff for my stretches is also welcome.
Thanks in advance!

Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")
Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")

Daft though it may seem the soundtrack from Rocky is pretty good for a mix of various types of tunes.
(Can't help with the rest as currently using classical music to race train too - for some reason I go quicker)0 -
I always run to Lose Yourself by Eminem. It's not the best song, but the tempo is perfect for my steps.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

Hello all, I'm newbie on this thread tho have been on the car boot buys one for a few weeks, stumbled on this one and love it!
Anyway work out tunes I love:
Any upbeat girls aloud - it also helps to picture them in the videos as it inspires me to try harder and think "skinny"
MGMT and hot chip - "do do do it now...." helps you keep going, I listen to it at the end of my jog to get me through the last gruelling minutes!!
Britney too - upbeat cheesy pop is the way to go!
As for outfit today I started off in indigo river island jeans, converse, a white vest and orange bat wing jumper and cap for car booting and visiting family. Feeling a bit sick now - too many cups of tea straight after lunch - so in vile green joggers and majorly oversized hoody my boyfriend picked up at a fesitval for a fiver. ITs so warm and comfy but comes down past my knees!!
Looking forward to tuesday as I'm out in portsmouth and haven't had a good excuse to dress up in ageeeesss
looking forward to participating in more threads!!SPC5 #1651 total so far: £78.590 -
