I'm big enough to admit when I need help. I need help. For the last two months, I've been walking four miles a day (I've lost 23 pounds so far!) And while I'm pretty knowledgeable about the latest movies, books, and not to shabby in the fashion dept, when it comes to music, I'm kind of clueless. I usually know the latest pop songs out but I'm not really hip to some of the more obscure bands like I used to be.I'm super-sick of listening to my current play list of some of my favorite (okay, not so such anymore)oldies and some newbies.
In a plea for help, I'm going to share my list with you all so that you will take pity on me and recommend your current fav!
Help me fill my lame iPod (I have one of those huge white ones the size of a stick of gum instead of the cute tiny colored ones. I know, right?)
Keep in mind, the faster the song, the faster I walk. Although I do have a few slow songs on my list currently. Thanks for your help!

ReplyDeleteI love anything Dance/Trance/House/Deep House, anything with an electric beat that gets the heart going. = )
ReplyDeleteMy favorite workout mix is 24.7 minutes long, but the pacing is fast enough that I would die if it were any longer. Maybe some tunes are lame, but they work well together. (Some of my fav songs aren't great choices for a workout mix.)
ReplyDeleteParalyzer-Finger Eleven
Gimme More-Britney Spears
SexyBack-JT
Who Knew-Pink
How Far We've Come-Matchbox 20
Take A Picture-Filter
Congrats on the weight loss, Steph! If you're up for some '80's stuff, I love Van Halen's JUMP and PANAMA and Michael Jackson's BEAT IT and BILLIE JEAN for power walking...

Viva La Vida by Coldplay
(they have upped their game, and their new album is AMAZING)

Sunshowers by M.I.A
Low by Flor-rida
Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne
Fergalicious by Fergie
These should give you something fun and new to listen to.
