What have you got in your gym playlists

I recently realised the value of using the on-the-go feature of the ipod to create play gym play lists whilst warming up on the treadmill. It allows me to create play lists that reflect my mood of the day rather than listening to something that is going to really annoy me.

Today I had a sprinkling of hunters and collectors - Throw your arms around me! The song really transported me back to a time and a place. Angst ridden teenage years. God I definitely had nothing to worry about then. Not that I do now. Life is pretty damn good.

I tend to listen to a mix of RnB and 80s stuff to get me through my session for eg. Come on Eileen (Dexys Midnight Runners) , Millionaire (Kelis). I also like a bit of Justin Timberlake too. Stuff that I listen to the gym tends to be a bit faster so that I can get my heart rate up. The only time I exercise without my ipod is when I am doing a class. If I forget my mp3 player I just turn around and go home.

At my gym they play the radio which I find it really tedious. So music is my number one motivator for exercise. What song gets your heart rate going?
