Good songs to work out to...

I'm an "eye of the tiger" girl too. George Michael's "Freedom" gets me to the same place too, when I need a cardio boost. I'm always looking for more, so please keep the suggestions coming!

Here is my most recent workout playlist, I actually put a lot of thought into these because it's the only think that gets me through the cardio portion of my routine!!!!!

1.OK Go: Here it Goes Again (that treadmill song from the Utube video)

2.Blur: Song 2 ( Its that one where they yell WHOO HOOO)

3.Aqua: Barbie Girl (So cheezy it's good)

4.Destiny's Child: Lose my Breath (Appropriate about 4 songs in :girl_hug:

5.Mighty Mighty Bosstones: Thats the Impression that I get (good brass)

6.George Michael: Faith (Too bad he plays for the other team :girl_hug:

7.Vanessa Carlton: Paint it Black (the MOST motivating song for me,

always in the middle of my workout, don't know why it works?)

8.Tia Carrerre: Ballroom Blitz (From Waynes World)

9.U2: Elevation (Also very motivating)

10.Ashlee Simpson: La La ("I like it better when it hurts" Works for me)

11.Right Said Fred: I'm too Sexy (Comedy for my workout slump)

12.Pearl Jam: Once (Just to get that Eddie Vedder Rocker vibe)

13.Christina Aguilera: Stronger (who wouldn't get pumped?)

14.Melissa Ethridge: I Run for Life (Always gives me goosebumps)

15.Black Eyed Peas: My Humps (Cause I have some serious humps)

16.Cake: I Will Survive (He uses the F word which is what Im thinking at the end of my workout)

17.Nina Simone: Feeling Good (An amazing jazzy cool down)

Hope this helps someone! :)

I've been going through the imixes on itunes. I haven't downloaded any total mixes but there are a lot of workouts (both by individuals and guided mixes with professional trainers and athletes). At this point, it has just given me some ideas on songs to include in my playlists.

A bit embarassing, but my old standby workout mix is Rick Springfield Greatest Hits. It reminds me of some younger years so, in addition to a pretty good pace, it always puts a grin on my face. :nervous

I have to admit I stumbled across these by accident. I was looking at the nikeplus.com site. I'm a gadget geek and love the idea of integrating my ipod and some device in my shoe that tracks my workout. I don't have a nano though so I'm out of luck.

I did start looking at the celebrity trainer playlists on their site which are all housed on itunes.com. Here is essentially the different paths that led me to workout mixes on itunes.

For all, start at the itunes music store and click on Music. In the box, More in Music...

1. itunes Essentials. search "workout"

These are probably my favorite mixes of them all...a real variety but some have way too many songs which drives up the price.

These other categories work the same way...just search on "workout", "yoga", etc.

2. Nike Sport Music

3. itunes Collections

4. imixes

I always watch the upper right side when I get search results to see what others are buying or playing. That has led me to the Power Workout in the Pop music section for instance.

Hope this helps.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
