i don't really work out but i do have excercises to do for my co-ordination. Apparently, i'm very unco-ordinated. When i walk, i swing the same arm as i put my leg forward whereas your meant to have your alternate arm swinging. So i have to practise walking

As well as standing on one leg to control my dizziness and writing the alphabet with my foot. All of which my firends find very finny

Anyway, i use songs like Rancid's Time Bomb cause it's so funky and a new on is American Hi-Fi The Art Of Losing cause it has a funky drum beat.

"Lose Yourself" by Eminem is pretty good as is "Sing for the Moment"

I 'spose it is anything that gets your adrenaline going. Personally I don't work out either, I prefer the 'other' kinda 6-pack But I guess songs that are good are basically faster moving ones, possibly mixed with somesort of heavy vocal.

Eye of the Tiger by Survivor ... "Maybe I'll fight Apollo anduuuuhhh Maybe I won't!!!"

Seriously though, if you're making a Cd of stuff make sure you keep the tempo fairly constant all the way through. My Gym plays stuff that has tempos of about 60 to 70 beats per minute, so you can peddle along to a song and when it changes not have to adjust your pace too much sort of thing.

anthing "happy or angry" depending on your mood but not "slow or sad" should do the trick

I bought an MP3 player use at the gym (a Panasonic SV-SD80 - it's sooooo cute!!). I don't like the music they play and they don't show any music channels on the TV's... and worse of all is the sound of the instructor of the Spinning class! Sounds like the sound track from hell.

I currently have a compilation of Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jamiroquai, Avril, Pink, A, AudioSlave, and Sheryl Crow... and have it set to play random tracks. It's amazing how much of a lift you get with the right music.
