Having a playlist of your favorite songs to listen to while your working out can make all the difference in the world. Sometimes, good tunes can be the make or break between a kickin workout and just an ehhhh workout. So we thought we’d share some of the songs on our playlists right now to help you put together your own list of booty-rockin-sweat-inducing workout jams.

Great topic. Just made a huge running playlist for my Nike+ system on my iPhone. Glad to see “Percussion Gun” on Ryan’s list. Forgot about that one.
Now I just need to figure out how to shuffle the huge list within the Nike+ iPhone App.
Thanks Paul! I haven’t used the Nike+, unforch, wish I could help. Have a great run!
I like Ryan’s suggestions, but I’d love to see them in an iMix on iTunes. (Yeah, I’m lazy like that).
Jim – Just posted the iMixes, thanks for the suggestion.
So… scratch Open Your Heart to Me. That was a last minute add. Apologies Madonna, you rock, but I forgot how depressingly-semi-stalkerish that song is.
I needed a new playlist too! Thanks for the suggestions Sheila. Really appreciate it!
