I have obtained this list directly from the playlist of the mp3 player of a fitness expert - MY WIFE! - Even I listen to this mix from my musicmatch while I am on the Exercise Bike in the mornings .. and there’s not even one B-52’s song on the list!

You see .. my wife just upgraded her 500MB mp3 player to a 2GIG mp3 player and we were looking for some fun and fast-paced workout songs to add to our playlist. We asked a few friends, we searched the internet, and we reviewed my vast 3500+ mp3 library on my computer. Here is what we came up with!

Feel free to add these songs to your playlist and keep your heart moving and have some fun and listen to music while you exercise! I have added a YouTube link beside each song to give you an idea how the song sounds like – in case they are new to you.

I listen to Hey Boy Hey Girl by the Chemical Brothers over and over when I’m running to keep my pace up – it’s the best when you need motivation!

This is a great list, but nothing gets me running faster than old school East Coast hip hop.

My addition to your awesome list:

Can’t stop thinking by Wiley aswell

Paul Okenfold- Ready Set Go (Korean Style) – its the song from the film collateral inside the nightclub scene.

Probably best song for training ever.

Sorry, it’s called My Hair Looks Fierce by Amanda Lepore

14 olivia August 24, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Best running song EVER is Amanda Lepore. It’s a fairly ridiculous song, but keeps you distracted and is very fast paced.

Check Yes Juliet
by We the Kings

[Chorus:]
Lace up your shoes
Here’s how we do
Run baby run
don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart if you
give them the chance
don’t sell your heart, say
we’re not meant to be
Run baby run, forever will be
You and me

Great place to start. The BEST running song EVER (in terms of BPM) is Katy Perry “Hot and Cold”. The song is totally G-A-Y, but it will move yo’ ass every time! Also Scissor Sisters “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing”. Can’t sit still when I play these two songs. :)
