Burning Love from All Shook Up and quite a few songs from the RENT soundtrack are on mine. RENT is great for running!

Funny. I was just talking about this on the Welcome Anthony thread.

Lately the RENT movie soundtrack has been my workout soundtrack. There are a lot of fast paced numbers, but also a lot of variety which is nice if you're working intervals.

If I am tired of RENT, Bright Lights, Big City is my other most common selection. For most of the same reasons as RENT.

Two Gentlemen of Verona is great, as is All Shook Up. I tried Rent but it doesn't work.

I'm a lazy @$$, but if I were to ever work out, I'm sure stuff from RENT, Avenue Q, Wicked, and other upbeat, fast-paced, or intense showtunes would make it on my playlist.

A few tracks from "Tanz der Vampire" are good when I use the stationary bike.

show tunes ARE my workout playlist. I really live a sad existence, basically all i have ar showtunes, opera, with a little bit of oldies and jazz thrown in there. I should be studied.

Back when I ran track in high school, we used to sing Rent songs on our distance runs. Light My Candle was the best, it sets up a good pace for you.

Don't work out, but I listen to a lot of stuff on my Ipod when I clean the house. I like to dance to "What is this Feeling" around my kitchen with a mop.

"Have any showtunes made it to your workout music playlist?"

Are you insinuating that I workout? Or should workout...?

However, I do drink lots and lots of WATER!

I've never been a big fan of WEST SIDE STORY, but I find it's the OBC recording great when I'm jogging.

I've used the actors fund benefit CD (2 disc set) of "Dreamgirls" - I get so involved in the story time flies!) and, truth be told, I have added "City Lights" from "The Act" to many a workout for years! Next up will be the new RENT film CD I'm sure.
