I love the ZOMBA hits like RAKATA, FOLLOW THE LEADER, and anything by Pitbull. I enjoy reggeton music and salsa at the gym as well. Imagining myself dancing salsa thinner as I go along... - 9/23/2012   8:42:51 AM

Thank you!! I have most of these already on my MP3, but downloading the other from emp3world.com now :) - 8/31/2012   4:48:27 PM

and pretty much anything by Foster the People...they get me pumped for my work outs! - 8/18/2012   9:39:06 PM

Awesome Playlist! - 8/8/2012   4:19:10 PM

WOW... thanks Coach! I did 5 songs of movin, before I knew it, I had my workout in!!! - 8/8/2012   2:18:01 PM

LMFAO- Party Rock Anthem
What a feeling- Alex Gaudino
I'll meet you there- Owl City

I like to change my playlist monthly so I don't get bored with the music. Some of these I'm not familiar with, some I already had. Thanks for the suggestions. - 7/26/2012   10:43:32 AM

i just get my walks in first thing in the am before the heat. :) - 7/25/2012   4:27:23 PM

I need this blog!
- 7/24/2012   9:23:41 AM

Thank you for recommending the Japandroid song. I love it. It's now on repeat on my ipod. - 7/24/2012   8:55:56 AM

Wow - I've never heard of any of these songs and actually only have heard of a few of the artists. :-) - 7/23/2012   11:40:17 AM

I always love the playlist posts & blogs . . . some songs I already have on my playlist & others I have not heard of. It's always nice to get ideas of new songs that you might like. - 7/22/2012   4:59:50 PM

Thanks Coach Nicole. I had some of these, but the ones I didn't rock! You always have the best playlists...keep 'em coming! - 7/22/2012   11:05:22 AM

Thanks so much, Nicole. I've been working out to music for 30 years (I'm 58) and I always appreciate the strong beat (as in these songs) that keeps me moving. I hadn't heard of many of them but they'll be on my IPod today. - 7/22/2012   9:37:20 AM

I agree with PEACH1981 that I've not heard of any of these songs, but then I'm 62 and like real music that has lyrics you can understand rather than screaming. - 7/22/2012   3:42:21 AM

well thonly one i see in this collection that looks pleasent is Titanium
but other then that, I'd take Donny osmond and the beatles and some
clean 80's music anyday. - 7/21/2012   10:52:20 PM

Thanks, (from my youngest daughter 18) Showed her the list, I don't know them all, but of course she does! - 7/21/2012   6:06:17 PM

None of THESE that's for sure !! - 7/21/2012   4:18:09 PM

I guess I am a minority--I do not use an iPod or anything else--I just work out, walk, run, whatever. I don't even like the loud music they play during the gym classes. - 7/21/2012   3:21:52 PM

I must say these tunes are not of my age or culture group. But if you play some Irish Tunes. Then I'm down the trail and moving on.
- 7/21/2012   11:47:49 AM

always love your playlists! - 7/21/2012   10:39:25 AM

I used to love listening to music but have gotten away from it a long time ago!!to bad as I miss working out with the music but don't work out anymore because of the arthritis in my spine just to painful!! I do listen to the music on my radio in my art studio at night.....awesome sounds!! - 7/21/2012   10:34:19 AM

Great collection. - 7/21/2012   5:26:48 AM

Thanks for good ideas and helping me look current to my grandkids. - 7/21/2012   5:23:29 AM

I'm listening to all of these too. - 7/21/2012   12:37:14 AM

Hey - Call me maybe! That song just gets stuck in my head. - 7/21/2012   12:21:29 AM

Thanks for the suggestions. - 7/20/2012   4:35:32 PM

Thanks for the suggestions. - 7/20/2012   4:35:02 PM

Can't wait to get exercising to some of this music,,, - 7/20/2012   2:31:23 PM

Thanks for this, I was motivated to download some new work out music. I LOVE the Calvin Harris song and also the Rihanna song. I've also just been introduced to Swedish House Mafia, which is awesome to work out to. - 7/20/2012   2:09:40 PM

@DEARFACE- Ya, sorry about that. It was just free earlier this week when I wrote this blog. I fixed the text. Thanks! - 7/20/2012   1:21:48 PM

I love Japandroids! Unfortunately, when I follow the link, it says it's $0.99 - not free. - 7/20/2012   12:37:04 PM

I LOVE this playlist! These are definitely songs that will get me moving!! Thanks! - 7/20/2012   12:29:07 PM

Thanks, I just added a couple of these to my workout playlist! Here are some of the other ones that I suggest:

Part of Me - Katy Perry
Let's Get It Started - Black Eyed Peas
The Fighter - Gym Class Heroes
Get Me Bodied - Beyonce

That's just a few. Hope someone finds it helpful! - 7/20/2012   10:13:23 AM

Good call on Anna Sun! I saw Walk the Moon in concert, and the whole time I thought, "This music would be awesome to run to!" - 7/20/2012   9:59:00 AM

Awesome job! This list is the bomb! These will def. help any summer workout.

TITANIUM! That is my jam, too!

You sound like a hipster!

Paul - 7/20/2012   9:34:03 AM

Hip hop, electro-pop, dance, and alt-pop tend to have the strong beats some folks look for when they're working out. I listen to everything, and this list covers just about everything for anyone. As for those that don't like any of these genres, keep an open mind - believe me, when I said I hated Taylor Swift five years ago, I didn't bet on having all of her music on my iPhone today. - 7/20/2012   9:33:18 AM

You're not alone, PEACH1981 -- I don't like current top 40 music either. I can't stand the sound of auto-tune, for one thing. But I hope these songs motivate lots of people, and I will make my own high-energy playlist with the types of music I prefer. - 7/20/2012   9:23:06 AM

Am I the only person who has never heard of any of these? There's just something about 21st century Top 40 that turns me right off. - 7/20/2012   9:12:35 AM

Great! Thanks for sharing. You've made it so easy to preview these songs and update our workout playlists. I usually listen to positive music during my runs. The lyrics do matter to me. My favorite is Let's Go. I like the music of Lights and Titanium seems to have ok lyrics but the music video is kind of disturbing. - 7/20/2012   9:09:43 AM

Okay, is it just me, or does anyone else prefer to listen to music with positive lyrics rather than these Kesha songs about partying? Seriously. Have you listened to the lyrics of some of these songs, like the Usher one, for example? Every time that song comes on the radio, I feel bad for listening to it and wonder how radio stations can even legally play the song. - 7/20/2012   9:06:51 AM

Wrong 16 songs for this 58-year-old. Exercise music doesn't have to be boring - yours is. Here are mine...You won't hear any of these songs on the radio, or MTV, VH1, CMT, BET, but it's better than ANYTHING you'll hear on those outlets...

Everybody looks good at the starting line - Paul Thorn
Road Scholar - Lee Roy Parnell
South by Southwest - Lee Roy Parnell
Takes What it Takes - Lee Roy Parnell
Squeeze Me In - Lee Roy Parnell
Bull Mountain Bridge - Paul Thorn
Take My Love With You - Paul Thorn
Mission Temple Fireworks Stand - Paul Thorn
Take the Money - Brother Williams
Big V8 - Brother Williams

Mind if I Smoke? - Todd Sharp - 7/20/2012   8:55:28 AM

my favourite songs are
under pressure queen
the princess of universe
depeche mode a pain that i'm used to
and a lots of songs from 80'... I think the 80's music is perfect for sweat...
Bye - 7/20/2012   8:51:11 AM

Thank you for sharing I love some of these songs & workout with them too. - 7/20/2012   8:46:00 AM
