Hello all! I am looking for suggestions for upbeat songs for exercising. I have some ideas ...I do like Womanizer by Brittney Spears..and Gangnam Style...just wanted some suggestions for your favorite music you exercise to. Thanks in advance!

I started using jogtunes indie podcast. I like the consistent upbeat tempo. The host breaks in at the beginning of every song with a BMP announcement which helps when I'm jogging but I ignore it if I'm just doing basic cardio or walking. The pace changes which is nice bc you get ur heartrate pumping then are able to slow it a little. It's really motivating. Check it out on iTunes. You can download the podcasts for free.

What a cool idea! Thanks for sharing.

Ooo, Raise Your Glass by Pink!!

For me - when I excercise , beats per minute (BPM) was important. At one point, I had downloaded an application on the PC what detected the BPM of an MP3 file that was probably about 90% accurate, and I manually updated the BPM field in iTunes with that value. Then I created a smart playlist for songs between 119 and 121 BPM, which was about the sweet spot for me. One of my favorites, as I recall, was Metallica's Enter Sandman, probably their most commercially successful songs, and there's a reason for it!

I'll see if I can export that playlist and post it here.

Not all the most fast tempo, but I find them an eclectic mix of motivational songs
