Your workout songs please!

[nancy324]

I'm getting tired of the same old songs on my nano. I need songs for the treadmill for a pace between 2.4 and 4.0 mph. Any treadmill power walkers out there with songs that really get you going? If so, please share. Thanks!

ETA: I should have mentioned: don't worry about the mph, I can figure that out myself. Just give me some ideas for songs that get you going and I'll take it from there. Thanks!

Bumping this up.

Music Inferno ~ Madonna. Very funky and upbeat, it's been a favorite of mine for a year now.

Erotica: You Thrill Me Mix ~ Same tour. It starts out slow but builds. The bass rocks.

Hung Up ~ Same tour.

I have tons of music from a variety of sources, but these are the songs I think of instantly when someone asks for fun, new treadmill tunes. My kids and I jokingly call this "Disco Friday" music ~ the kind of music you wanna play in the car on Friday while heading to the video store to pick up a weekend movie and some pizza.

Nance, I'm sure many of these won't work for you but just in case you might find something I'm posting anyway:

I have no idea what speed you're looking for but there are samples. It's just another option for ya.
Oh, and I used to run and listen to the Beatles on my walkman. (Yup!) My fave was Paperback Writer for some reason.

I guess it depends on what type of music you like to listen to. Amy Bento sent out as her "free gift" the music from ASC3 with the orders. I looked on her site and she actually sells music mixes from her other workouts. Some of the songs are recognizable but others aren't. There is a great driving beat to all of them. If you click on "Get Energized Music" at the top of her site www.nrgfitness.net you can listen to samples.

I don't know how you feel about mash-ups, but I like them for workouts. I've gotten a bunch from bootieusa.com.
