My love-hate affair with working out is pretty well documented, and right now, I’m in a “hate but must do” phase. I’ve been trying to get back to it in baby steps. Music is a must for me when trying to work up a sweat, so I spent some time over the weekend cultivating a new workout playlist. I have my old go-tos, of course, but I’m always looking for new music that gets my heart pumping – and from the search results I see on the ol’ web page stats, it seems like a lot of other folks are, too.
So, internet friends, I ask the question once more: “What’s on your workout playlist?”
Some folks like hard, guitar-driven music while they work out, others like something with a good beat. Rap, rock, pop, dance – I’m a little all-over the place. Here’s what I’ve got so far on my latest workout playlist.

KateBoy – The Way We Are
The entire “Weapons” cd by Lostprophets
Anything off the smallpools ep, “I Believe” by Basic Vacation and if you haven’t gotten hooked on “Got Me Golden” yet by Terraplane Sun that’d be a good one. You turned me on to Man & Ghost and I love “Really Think It’s Over” by them. I need to get into workout mode, too – just to make time to listen to music if nothing else!
