Ok...so I workout on the treadmill and stationary bike at the gym.
It's gets boring looking at the same wall for 45 minutes so I made
a compliation CD of my favorite workout songs that help motivate
me.
Most of them are from 80's soundtracks:
Flash Dance soundtrack-
Maniac
Flash Dance (what a feeling)
Gloria
Footloose soundtrack-
Footloose
Holding out for a hero
Im Free
Never
Rocky IV soundtrack-
Eye of the Tiger
Burning Heart
Top Gun soundtrack-
Danger Zone
Invinclible (Pat Benatar)
Love is a Battlefield (Pat Benatar)
Fame (Irene Cara)
The Look (Roxette)
anyways...does anyone else here have a motivational/workout mix CD?
If not, what do you listen to when working out (or when you used to
workout)?

I am currently listening to Puccini's Tosca. I'll probably back through it
until it is mostly familiar, and then choose another opera.

During the winter I'm usually working out on a stairclimber somewhere, these
days Vets Park. Anyway, my usual thing is to try to show up when there's
nobody else there so I can take control of the TV. ;)
Summers I bike a lot, and that's its own entertainment.

A couple of favorite mixes:
"The Metal Treadmill" (These are my picks. All originals albums were
*purchased*.)
Taotr Woman - Rainbow
Midnite Maniac - Krokus
Bad Motor Scooter - Montrose
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
Feed My Frankenstein - Alice Cooper
Girl's Got Rhythm - AC/DC
War Child - Blondie
Headhunter - Krokus
Mob Rules - Black Sabbath (Dio)
White Punks On Dope - Tubes
I've Done Everything - Sammy Hagar
Starstruck - Rainbow
Brutal Planet - Alice Cooper
No Exit - Blondie
***
"Totallty Awesome 80's Workout" (Hubby's picks. Again with the
originals.)
Turn Me On - Tubes
Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen
Rock of Ages - Def Leppard
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles
Destroyer - The Kinks
No One Lives Forever - Oingo Boingo
Telephone - Sheena Easton
Obsession - Animotion
Invincible - Pat Benetar
Rock of Life - Rick Springfield
Heartbeat - Red7
Like a Hurricane - Scorpions
Some Like It Hot - Power Station
Tip of My Tongue - Tubes
Weird Science - Oingo Boingo
***
Each runs very close to 50 minutes, which is perfect for me on a
treadmill or spin bike.
For treadmill, I also like a series of tapes (haven't found them on cd)
that are titled "Run (or March) Cadence with <insert your favorite
military org here>"
I like "Run Cadence with the Airborne Rangers" for example. It's
exactly what you'd think - a bunch of different units running, complete
with call-and-response cadences and the sounds of many boots. Lots of
familiar songs make surprisingly cool cadences! My favorite is "Shout".

ha..I forgot about this item. Anyways now-a-days the gym I go to has
treadmills with a built-in TV. All I need to do is bring my earbud headphones
and i'm good to go.
When i'm out jogging, I have a tiny mp3 players, which is loaded with alot
of the same songs I listed in 2004 and a bunch of more recent stuff (Lady
Gaga, Ke$sha, etc..high tempo songs).
