Alexandra 55 Posted February 22, 2005 So there I was, at the gym, at the end of a 35-minute workout on the elliptical, watching the minutes tick by and getting ready to be done. But then through my headphones I hear the one song absolutely guaranteed to get me crankin' up good: It's Raining Men, by The Weathergirls. I'm sure people thought I was a lunatic, because I was doing everything but singing my lungs out. So what song gets you going, no matter how drained you are?

DeLarla 22 Posted February 22, 2005 I can't believe you wrote that since I drop everything when that song comes on to dance in my underwear while singing into a brush handle! The next best song is THUNDER STRUCK by AC DC. Mind you, I've never been a huge AC DC fan, but a friend gave me a mixed tape to exercise to. Every time Thunder Struck comes on it makes me work harder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess_n_thep 2 Posted February 23, 2005 Okay okay... I confess.... it is Men Without Hats: Safety Dance "you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind, cuz if friends dont dance and if they dont dance, then their no friends of mine" Another Favorite is Limp B.

leatha_g 4 Posted February 23, 2005 Funny, I'm not a Britney Spears fan, but I love it when they play 'Toxic' at Curves. It's a great work out tune. Another silly song that always makes me wanna move - "Mr. Roboto" by Styx. I'll think of more.. I'm a major music fan.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisydoodle 0 Posted February 23, 2005 From way back when I used to do step aerobics 15 years ago...... New Attitude from Patti LaBelle. To this day when I hear it I get kinda pumped up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bright 9 Posted February 23, 2005 I actually can't do my workout if I don't have my specially burned cd! My son made it for me and put all my favourites, and some ones he thought would be good - I love love love Van Halen's "Jump", Christina Aguilera (sp?) singing "Dirrrty", and dance tracks like "follow da leader", and "Time to Burn" (Storm)....!

DeLarla 22 Posted February 23, 2005 Safety Dance and Toxic! Great choices. Penni, now I'm gonna make you make ME a mixed tape of all this. And I agree, anything from Queen, any day of the week. Anything from Alanis (she makes me really mad at men, which makes me sweat more.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
