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 really enjoyed this thread and used it as a great source to create a list of my own with links and genre organization! I compiled 300+ songs organized across the genres of Pop, Rock, Rap, Classic Rock, and Instrumental. All songs have iTunes links so you can download easily. If you need more songs take a look!

Hi, thanks for this comment 🙂
Me and my friends created a ‘Running songs playlist’. Check it out and please come in and suggest songs of your own. I will remove songs I dont like so we are left with a TWO hrs workout playlist.
Here is the playlist I had created.
Wonderful informativ post. Thank U for helping information. Lookin’ forward for ur following report. Cheers
My workout music should be good for running, too.
Hi! It has already been my daily routine to jog at least 30 min. per day and sometimes I get bored on the way so I’ve been finding some music I could listen to while jogging. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas!

Great List you have there!
Personally, i listen to every pop songs with a nice beat matching my aerobics and running rhythm. Just the beats ok, select nice beats that lifts your moods and fuel up your desire to be healthier.
MAGE
Great list!
Here’s a few other songs to run to:
Clear- Kardinal Offishall
Show me the money- from the Step Up Soundtrack
I’m really hot- Missy Elliott
Where’s your Head At- Jean Elan (club mix)
Rockstar Remix- N.E.R.D
Your wife has great taste. The fact that she even has Voodoo Glow Skulls made this a winning playlist in my book. I just so happen to have a LOT of these songs on my own running playlist.
One suggestion:
Glass Danse by The Faint. That is my powersong.
Great list. Your wife has good taste.:) About half of these songs I already had on my Palm, but thanks for the rest.
That tune is utterly incredible, and I’m not even into that kind of music.
Till i collapse by eminem. best ever for working out.
Love the songs. I lost my ipod data and almost forgot which songs I used for workouts.
Heres some of my fav:
Black eyed peas: my hump
Modjo – lady hear me tonight
Michael gray – i can’t wait for the weekend to begin
I also listen to some bollywood songs and my all time fav is Sexy back 🙂
Regards.
Rock Lobster – B52s
Florence + Machine – Dog Days are Over
“” – Cosmic Love
“” – Howl
Alanis – You Outta Know
I’m going to add more
Alice Smith – Dream
Beyonce – Single Ladies
Client – Drive
Client – 6 in the Morning
Xtina – Fighter
Goldfrapp – Ride a White Horse
Kristen Price – Magic Tree
Maroon 5 – Harder to Breathe
Ting Ting – Great DJ
Ting Ting – Shut Up and Let Me Go
The Runaways – Cherry Bomb
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.
Into the Night Life – Cindi Lauper
I Hate This Part (Dave Aude remix -club) Pussy Cat Dolls
Feel Your Love (radio edit) Kim Sozzi
Just Dance – Lady Gaga
Ma Ya Hi (numa Nima song….)
When You Leave – Alina
Heaven – DJ Sammy
Club Hits 2003 (disc 2)
The entire disc 2 is great, especially track 2: Divine Inspiration  – The Way (Put Your Hand In My Hand) (Svenson & Gielen Vocal Mix) 7:09
It’s called Dragostea Din Tei – O-Zone, not Numa Nima!!!
MIMS – Move (If you wanna) – GREAT pace for jogging.
err heya ! my name is emily ! (no last name not saying pedo’s)
Bestfriends are …tonicha ,casey , cailaen , eric , Anicha
all these people are great mates ilovethem,all
just had my HPV jab 2day x
Thanks for the list, tonight is the night before a marathon and needed another hour of music. It’s like your wife stole my ipod and added songs I was missing.
My addition to your awesome list:
One Day As a Lion – Wild International
Also Wiley- Step by Step/
Can’t stop thinking by Wiley aswell
Trust me these 2 songs will help your training
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
Best running song EVER is Amanda Lepore. It’s a fairly ridiculous song, but keeps you distracted and is very fast paced.
Katy Perry – Hot ‘n’ Cold
N.E.R.D – She Wants to Move
The Hives – Tick Tick Boom
Birds of Tokyo – Desperate
Lady GaGa – Poker Face
The Veronicas – Untouched
Muse – Supermassive Black Hole
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. 🙂
