Hello everyone this is the first thread I have ever started so I'm a little new at this :smile:. I'm 28 years old and getting my first MP3 player ever :thumbup: (I know this is sad this is very sad) but anyway, I want to take it to the Y to workout with. I have never been that much into buying CD's because I like one or two songs and not the rest. And I have always considered buying something nice for myself, house or husband with my money was more useful than CD's when there is the radio for free. Well, after a month of the Y I am very tired of the station they play so therefor I am finally ready to dive into the technology world and would like all of your help. I was hopping everyone could give me some good ideas for workout songs. It would be great to get on the elliptical and listen to something that makes me move my butt and, with out comercials. :w00t:

go to itunes and search NIKE running, that should give you a starting point for some upper tempo music to work out by.

Hi Crystal, If you are getting an iPod, I can also suggest in getting some music Podcasts that are free. For example, I get PodRunner and Dance Department. They release weekly podcast of about an hour with good music. Hope this helps!

I uploaded all my cd's to my computer then went through and picked all the fast tracks to put on a playlist for my ipod. That way I didn't have to listen to the same artist the whole time.

Some of my favortite work-out music is fat-boy slim, the vandals, the ramones, the offspring, and the gossip.

I guess I like a lot of "the" bands.:thumbup:

Thank you guys for all of your ideas they all sound great!
