For everyone - what are your favorite work out tunes?

I need to add some more to keep me motivated on the bike/matrix/treadmill.

With workout music, it isn't always about the song or the artist, it's about the tempo.

Eminem! I forgot I had him! I have 8,500 iTunes. And I'm not done uploading CDs. I sometimes need reminding what else is out there. =)

And I can't judge. I have Nobody's Perfect (Hannah Montana), Girlfriend (Avril), and ABBA on my workout playlist. Britney makes an appearance often.

I've got the soundtrack to Hackers 2 - Its all techno/house/trance/dance, but the tempo is GREAT for workouts! Another trick I use is audio-books. I get completely lost in the story and it helps me lose track of time, which can be good for a long workout!

The book thing is a good idea. That would work while cycling.

Do you have that new "Genius" feature on iTunes? Try picking one of your favorite workout songs and creating a Genius playlist from it. It will probably pick up some songs that you wouldn't have thought of.

Oh... and sometimes I workout to the "Happy Feet" soundtrack. It's upbeat and different from my other workout songs (which are country, so I'm not even going to mention them); it's a good change of pace.

That's what it does???

Ooh.. neat! It did pick up a few I wouldn't have thought of (aka, forgot I had!)

I do try and add a few soundtrack songs. Keeps it moving.
