Workout Tunes

What tunes get you pumped up to workout and keep you pumped up? Sometimes, music can be exactly what you need to get through a long run, a tough workout, and accomplish your goals.

During the Fargo Half-Marathon, and the Nike Women's Marathon, I didn't want to listen to music, I wanted to have my iPod off, and take in the sites, and I'm SO glad I did. Where as during the Goldy's Run 10 Mile this Spring, and the La Crosse Half-Marathon, my music is what kept me going.

I promised a few months back about the songs that keep me pumped up while working out, and also want to hear what songs keep you going! Adding to your play list is a great motivator, and a lot of times these songs come from recommendations.

My current favorite songs to workout to are:

• Eminem, Not Afraid
• Raise Your Glass, Glee Warblers
• It Ain't Me Babe, Joaquin Phoenix and Reece Witherspoon from "Walk the Line"
• Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash
• Little Lion Man, Mumford and Sons
• Only Girl (In the World), Rihanna
• Stuck Like Glue, Sugarland
• Fall to Pieces, Avril Lavigne
• Rolling in the Deep, Adele
• Paris, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals
• Alejandro, Lady GaGa
• You Can't Always Get What You Want, Glee Cast
• Dream On, Glee Cast
• We R Who We R, Ke$ha
• Feels Like Today, Rascal Flatts

So, as you can see, I have a diverse taste in music. =)

What are the songs that pump you up while working out?
