I enjoy walking to Waterloo, Super Trooper and other Abba beaty songs

Favorite Workout Song

My favorite workout songs on the dreadmill have got to be either Santana or Queen!! There isn't a lot of music I don't like but those two albums - any of the songs on them - have got to top my favs!

Roger

I like the song "Give it to Me" by Madonna. Makes you motivated to walk at a fast pace

Marches

I have an MP3 player full of marches - Sousa-type marches. They keep me at a steady pace, and the miles melt away.

G Love, all the way

I usually opt not too listen to music these days ... concentrating on the sounds around me (even the sound of my own breathing) helps me feel a little more connected to the walking experience. But on the days I'm inclined to plug in, G Love does the trick for me. -Chris www.slowalker.com

Juice it with Juice Newton

I thought I'd never have to listen to country music after leaving home (Mom was a fan). But I found that my favorite "power song" is Juice Newton's "Love's Been a Little Bit Hard on Me." In fact, I have four or five of her songs in my marathon walking mix, including Angel of the Morning, Queen of Hearts, etc.
