"Feedback" by Janet Jackson
It's on her new album "Discipline"-perfect album title, and even song title, for someone working torward a fitness goal, eh?
I was doing my cardio on bike today, and I noticed that when Janet sang "crank it up," I started to pedal harder. The song's got some great beats, perfect to keep you moving. One to add to you "gym" playlist.

At least for my indoor/at home workouts. I think it really helps, I've actually accidentally done HIIT before without it, I didn't realize I did not have it on until shortly after my workout when I was thinking about how lethargic and tired I was feeling during HIIT. I was thinking that maybe I was overtraining but then I realized that in my morning slumber I never turned on my music. My next HIIT session which was two days later in the week (which should have been worse if I was overtraining because I train 6 days a week) with the music was great. I think it helps me keep pace and power through the intervals.

I need fast music. An 8-count is too distracting but anything w/ a heavy guitar or dance trance. I'm loving the Tiesto podcasts on iTunes...who said nothing in life is free?!

Some gyms play upbeat music in the background, which you may or may not enjoy. So why not create your own exercise mix and put it on your MP3 Player or Ipod. Use music with different beats to change it up depending on what machine or exercise you are doing.
Music is a great way to take your mind off fact you are exercising, especially if you are a person who doesn't really enjoy working out.
Help me make a great list of workout music to give other people ideas of music to add to their MP3 player!
Here are some songs that I have on my MP3 player:
Joan Jett - I love Rock and Roll , Hate Myself For Loving You, Bad
Reputation
Back Eyed Peas - My Hump, Let Get It Started
Nelly Furtado - Man Eater
Pat Benatar- I Need A Hero, All Fired Up, Hit Me With Your Best Shot
KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
ACDC- Son of a Bitch, You Shook Me All Night Long
Limp Bizkit - Nookie
