100 Best Workout Songs of 2008: What's Your Favorite?
The January 2009 issue of Fitness magazine recently named their top 100 workout tunes of 2008. I was so excited to see this list, because I'm always looking for new songs to add to my iPod and use in my classes. Find out if your favorites made the list!
Fitness breaks the 100 songs into five categories, which each include 20 of the best songs for Spinning, running, walking, weight training and even yoga. I have to admit that I hadn't heard most of the songs on this list, but here are the ones that I do like from their list:
Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland 4 Minutes
Estelle ft. Kanye West: American Boy
Britney Spears: Womanizer

Rihanna: Disturbia

Fallout Boy: I Don't Care

Natasha Bedingfield: Pocketful of Sunshine
Coldplay: Viva La Vida

The Killers: Human

Music is such a personal thing. I absolutely love hiphop and funk when I'm doing cardio. Blackeyed Peas - Let's Get it Started and Destiny's Child - Bootylicious are 2 of my faves. Fatboy Slim and Moby are awesome too. But so is Enigma - if you skip the super trance-y stuff. Anything with a good, steady, rockin' beat! Oh - and Earth, Wind and Fire! Love, love, love them! - 4/17/2009 9:02:46 PM
Chapman's "All About Love" CD has at least 5 songs I can think of and Smith's "Go West Young Men" is an old title, but has some nice tracks too. Petra too has some great music. There is a lot out there. Go to iTunes.com and listen to samples. :0) - 4/15/2009 8:34:57 AM

Dragula, Numb, and Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie
Something in your mouth - Nickelback
Pet- A Perfect Circle
Into the night - chad kroeger and carlos santana
Carmelldansen by Caramell (techno)
Shut up and swollow - combichrist (hardcore industrial)
Pour some sugar on me - Def lepoard
Hungry for heaven - Dio
Supermassive blackhole - Muse
I Don't wanna stop - Ozzy Osbourne
anyways, hope that'll help others lookin for a bit more then dance and hip hop :) - 2/6/2009 4:15:06 PM

I love " Pocket full of Sunshine" . My son bought me an IPOD for Christmas ( He was tired of seeing me trying to drag a very large very old CD player around ). The first song I bought was Pocketfull of Sunshine. - 1/25/2009 5:59:26 AM
