Broadway Work Out Songs — Page 2

harajuku has an album of showtunes remixed into dance jams.

They're mostly from the popera era.

"What You Want" from Legally Blonde
"Dreamgirls" from Dreamgirls (I think it's fun to listen to while on the treadmill or exercise bike)
"Mary Jane / Mary Lane" from Reefer Madness: the Movie Musical (again, fun to listen to)
"Let Me Come Home" from The Wedding Singer
"Superstar" from Jesus Christ Superstar
"Without Love" from Hairspray (again, depends on what you're doing)

Actually, I've even worked out to "Alive" from Jekyll and Hyde, haha.

I never tried "Whipped Into Shape!" Funny, because it essentially is about working out. I'll have to try it sometime.

Physical Fitness from All American, anyone?

My favorite Broadway songs...ha! There are way to many to list but anything that Ethel Merman ever sang always gets me up and ready for action. (except her disco album!) an FYI this album was not the greatest. I highly recommend There's No Business Like Show Business: Merman's Greatest Hits or The Gypsy Recording Original Cast. Those are good starters.

Feeling Electric & Let There Be Light from N2N.

Mama Will Provide from Once on this Island

When I actually ran I ALWAYS started with "Into the Woods (Prologue)" because it's ten minutes long and by then I was warmed up and almost not regretting my decision to run in the first place. Then I would move on to:

All That Jazz from Chicago
Raise You Up/Just Be from Kinky Boots
La Vie Boheme from RENT
One Day More from Les Mis

And basically all the long medium-fast paced songs I could think of at the time.

If you absolutely have to work out to show tunes, I like CapnHook's list best.

A real good one is Raise You Up/Just Be from Kinky Boots, which I know people already said. Other ones for me are:
Without Love and You Cant Stop the Beat- Hairspray
Here I go Again- Rock of Ages (I only listen to the Bway recording)
Two By Two- Book of Mormon
Seize the Day and King of New York- Newsies
A lot of Sister Act
Steal Your Rock and Roll- Memphis

This CD on random adds a lot of energy:

I, however, do belong to a gym. I have never eaten a "candied violet," and there are no hills in my neighborhood, or none I particularly notice.
