FAVE WORKOUT TUNES

[decodelighted]

Inspired by the "break up tips" thread that turned into a Play List .... I'm about to set up my iPod mini with inspirational workout music and am looking for suggestions!

Have any fave songs that really get you moving/lose all perception of time & pain???

Thanks in advance! mwah

Thanks Haven! I have to get on the ball .... I ran through all NINE songs I'd picked yesterday & then had to repeat. Time to go to iTunes I guess!

So far I have some Outkast, Prince, Kelly Clarkson (do not judge!), Beastie Boys, Hole, Morris Day, and the Glee version of "Golddigger". Gotta find some fast fast fast tempo stuff that I can't NOT move to.....

Oops a note - not really INSPIRATIONAL so much as my fave workout songs have driving beats that get me going.

Thanks B.E.G. ... that'll give me a lot to go on! Not sure if you'll pop back in here but if you do: how are you liking the Zumba? Did it hurt your knees at first? I had my first class last week but I was wearing regular running type shoes and had a hard time doing all the fast pivots etc. I ordered dance aerobic shoes for this week but am still nervous about tweaking or really hurting my knees! Just curious about your experience. (I know you are a lot younger & fitter than I!!!)

Hey Deco!

I LOVE zumba. It is such a blast, and I'm sad that I couldn't make it to class today (my golf lesson ran late). I've been taking zumba since October, about 3-4 times a week pretty regularly. It definitely depends on the teacher - there are two really awesome ones at my gym who incorporate a lot of hip hop and latin, and then a few others who aren't that good (they're more like glorified aerobics - nothing wrong with aerobics, but zumba is about latin flavor! ).

I didn't have knee issues, but I did use to get huge blisters on my big toes from stuff like slides and pivots. I think I've learned to compensate since then (I don't really slide or drag my feet across the floor).

A lot of the women in my class wear these shoes - Nike_Huarache_Dance. If you look at the sole it has a pivot on the ball of the foot that helps you turn. I use regular sneakers but the women who have these really like them.

I would say - just take it easy, respect your body, and as you get more comfortable with the moves and start to learn the routines, you can go even more all out And more than that, have fun! Tomorrow night, we have a couple big zumba DJs who work for Zumba Fitness coming to do this big zumba dance party. I wasn't sure if I was going to go or not, but I think I am - it sounds like fun!

I like Usher and Kesha...very upbeat and I get lost in the music so I can just keep going...and going and going...

 

[albertcool]

while doing yoga i prefer not to listen to music and for exercise any fast beat number will do for me as i give full concentration to my workout

 

[dani13]

Any of the new Britney Spears songs (dont make fun, I like her stuff). Especially "I Wanna Go". Can't get that song out of my head!!!
