What's Your Favorite Workout Song?

Friday February 20, 2009
What song or songs really help get you moving? Do you have a favorite artist or album you listen to when you need to pump up the pace? Come tell us your favorite workout song.

Our Guide to Rock Music has his 20 Best Rock Workout Songs. I've been out of the music scene enough that I didn't recognize any of them! I really haven't grown musically since 1985, as you can see in my marathon mix. But I rooted for American Idol David Cook and I've downloaded his album, so that means either there is no hope for me or I'm making a musical comeback. Come help me find some good walking tunes!
Our Running Guide has these lists:
Top 10 Pop Songs for Running
Top 10 Hip Hop Songs for Running
Playlist for Running 1 Minute, Walking 1 Minute
