I've recently added music to my exercise routine, and obviously, the tempo make a huge difference in how fast I move. Some of my favorites are a few of the old Motown tunes, Fleetwood Mac, (giving my age away ) Stronger (Kelly Clarkston), Forget you (Cee Lo Green), and Eye of the Tiger (survivor), and a few others to round out an eclectic mix. I'd love to hear your favorite workout tunes!

Gaga - Edge of Glory, Born this way

Madonna - Secret (remix )

Journey - Separate Lives

Janet - All for you (remix)

Elton - Im still standing

Taylor Swift - Red

Matthew Wilder - Break my stride

Tonnes of MJ. < RIP KOP >

Omg - How could I forget!! " When they come for me" Linken Park starts every workout!!! In fact it's programmed into my alarm clock as well... It's kind of my theme song!

I'll be adding those to my list, too!

Here's what a dork I am. Using iTunes I tracked the beats per minute of the music I like. I bike mostly and I like an RPM in the 85-95 range. So I have a playlist called biking with all the music sorted by bpm. AC/DC might be followed by Lester and Earl by Molly Hatchet. It helps me keep a solid consistent cadence which help me pace myself on long rides.

Um, I don't think that's dorky at all - seems pretty smart to me. I do the same thing (that's why it's smart ) and I start with slower things, I timed them based on what I know I want my workout to be, then I make sure It's long enough. Otherwise, without the music I find myself clock watching, and three minutes feels like an eternity. With the music, three minutes is time for a new song!

It really does. If you're anything like me you may be prone to singing out loud!!

Yes I sing out loud, too, and my family will tell you it's not pretty, lol!
