Good songs to work out to...

I'm an "eye of the tiger" girl too. George Michael's "Freedom" gets me to the same place too, when I need a cardio boost. I'm always looking for more, so please keep the suggestions coming!

Here is my most recent workout playlist, I actually put a lot of thought into these because it's the only think that gets me through the cardio portion of my routine!!!!!

1.OK Go: Here it Goes Again (that treadmill song from the Utube video)

2.Blur: Song 2 ( Its that one where they yell WHOO HOOO)

3.Aqua: Barbie Girl (So cheezy it's good)

4.Destiny's Child: Lose my Breath (Appropriate about 4 songs in :girl_hug:

5.Mighty Mighty Bosstones: Thats the Impression that I get (good brass)

6.George Michael: Faith (Too bad he plays for the other team :girl_hug:

7.Vanessa Carlton: Paint it Black (the MOST motivating song for me,

always in the middle of my workout, don't know why it works?)

8.Tia Carrerre: Ballroom Blitz (From Waynes World)

9.U2: Elevation (Also very motivating)

10.Ashlee Simpson: La La ("I like it better when it hurts" Works for me)

11.Right Said Fred: I'm too Sexy (Comedy for my workout slump)

12.Pearl Jam: Once (Just to get that Eddie Vedder Rocker vibe)

13.Christina Aguilera: Stronger (who wouldn't get pumped?)

14.Melissa Ethridge: I Run for Life (Always gives me goosebumps)

15.Black Eyed Peas: My Humps (Cause I have some serious humps)

16.Cake: I Will Survive (He uses the F word which is what Im thinking at the end of my workout)

17.Nina Simone: Feeling Good (An amazing jazzy cool down)

Hope this helps someone! :)

I've been going through the imixes on itunes. I haven't downloaded any total mixes but there are a lot of workouts (both by individuals and guided mixes with professional trainers and athletes). At this point, it has just given me some ideas on songs to include in my playlists.

A bit embarassing, but my old standby workout mix is Rick Springfield Greatest Hits. It reminds me of some younger years so, in addition to a pretty good pace, it always puts a grin on my face. :nervous

I have to admit I stumbled across these by accident. I was looking at the nikeplus.com site. I'm a gadget geek and love the idea of integrating my ipod and some device in my shoe that tracks my workout. I don't have a nano though so I'm out of luck.

I did start looking at the celebrity trainer playlists on their site which are all housed on itunes.com. Here is essentially the different paths that led me to workout mixes on itunes.

For all, start at the itunes music store and click on Music. In the box, More in Music...

1. itunes Essentials. search "workout"

These are probably my favorite mixes of them all...a real variety but some have way too many songs which drives up the price.

These other categories work the same way...just search on "workout", "yoga", etc.

2. Nike Sport Music

3. itunes Collections

4. imixes

I always watch the upper right side when I get search results to see what others are buying or playing. That has led me to the Power Workout in the Pop music section for instance.

Hope this helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
