Hyper Gym Workout Tunes
 

Anyone have suggestions for music I can download to my iPod while I workout?

I'm looking for fun energetic music.

I need to add new stuff to the mix. My Gym Playlist is getting old.

:)

Just about anything off the Cherry Poppin' Daddies "Zoot Suit Riot" disk should do the trick. Always makes me go faster on the treadmill than I thought I could.

Ooh, Chemical Brothers! That stuff really gets me going. "Dig your own hole" and "Push the button" are both great albums. Way back when I used to work out to music I put on "Dig" all the time.

Oh huzzah for this thread. I need major musical motivation for my work out, which always tends to drop dead in its tracks between October and January. I need all the inspiration I can get during the treacherous holiday season of "oh, I'm too busy for that."

My workout playlist is about to be re-done to be longer but this is what it currently is:

Personal Jesus ~ Marilyn Manson
mOBSCENE ~ Marylin Manson
Save a horse Ride a Cowboy ~ Big & Rich
Livin on a Prayer ~ Bon Jovi
1985 ~ Bowling for Soup
City of Angles ~ The Distillers
Drunken Lullabies ~ Flogging Molly
Feel Good Inc ~ Gorillaz
American Idiot ~ Green Day
Back When ~ Tim McGraw
My Next Thirty Years ~ Tim McGraw

I just want to know what a hyper gym is.

For some reason these songs I find to be fun and always seem to energize me - they are all on my current work out CD (not in the Ipod age yet) which I haven't changed in a long time -

I like starting out with "where the streets have no name" (U2) to warm up - starts nice and slow, picks up nicely. Don't know if it's "fun", but it works for me.
Not a hip-hop fan, per se, but I love "Hey Ya" by Outkast.
"Roxanne" - Police
"Drive" - Bobby McFerrin (live version from appearance on SNL)
"Straight to my Heart" - Sting
"Make me Smile" - Chicago
"American Child" - Phil Vassar
"Take me to your leader" - Newsboys
"Frank" - The W's

Gotta have fun tunes to work out to.

Thank you for the ideas so far.

I have 'Zoot Suit Riot' and the two CB songs CP mentioned and am adding them to the list. I'm looking into BTD'd list.

Here's some of my list so far. Now, it's more about the pace of the song than the artist, content etc.
