Workout Music

I need music to work out. As implied in my poem, I am an avid user of my IPod while exercising. I have several workout tapes and the main reason for not using them is that the music is horrible. Not just horrible but annoyingly horrible. And the people are all enthusiastic, which is even worse. As if exercise was not enough suffering all by itself, I must be tortured by their cheery fake-ass spandexy selves and the horrid music.

I thought I would take a moment to share my workout favorites of the moment, and ask for your submissions to the list. Your input can help to keep me company and motivated on my hamster wheel.

You could try something by Plumb or September. They're kind of dancey. Or Love Lockdown by Kanye. I haven't looked at new music for awhile. I really like No Air by Jordin Sparks but that's a slower song.

The Jordin Sparks song is good but, a coworker says she has trouble breathing when it comes on :-) Not so sure that's a good idea for working out. I listen to Wee Sing Christian songs so... not really good work out music either.
