I actually did have a playlist of songs to work out to. Not anymore though...but perhaps that will change.

I second 30/90 from Tick,Tick....Boom.

I also like "Moving Too Fast" and "I Can Do Better" from Last 5 Years to have a good beat for jogging.

Just wanted to share something I did when I first started college and still do on occasion. I felt like everyone else knew so much more about musicals than I did, so I started going to the public library, getting whatever cast albums I could, putting them on my iPod, and then picking a different show to listen to every time I went to the gym.

Sure, certain things don't necessarily lend themselves to strenuous physical activity, but I discovered so many shows this way and now know a lot more in general.

I know the song has been suggested, but if you will actually go to your favorite online video hosting site (Gee, I wonder which one that would be!) and look up material on "You Can't Stop the Beat," you'll find that doing the actual choreography is a GREAT cardio workout when you can't get to the gym! Especially if you work some 5lb or 10lb weights during some of the chorus sections!

**I am not responsible if you fling your weights out the window or smack them against your head or drop them on your foot while you're dancing**

^I hardly think that warning was necessary, but I'm just covering my bases!

Cheers to a fit, healthy lifestyle!


EDIT:

I just had to say that "Holding Out for a Hero" is one of my FAVORITE workout songs!!! It makes me feel like i'm in an 80's movie montage! =P
