Everyone has their favourite tracks to work out or run to. I mean they have CD's specifically marketed for these purposes! They are mostly high energy pop/dance/hip hop or whatever. When I was painfully bored doing exercise DVDs, to the point where I felt if I heard the nagging instructor tell me not to phone it in one more time, I might kick the TV, I turned the volume down and played Johnny Cash. I have quite eclectic tastes and my list doesn't begin to sum up the kind of musical influences in my life but here is my running list as it currently stands (it's long and I don't shuffle...so ner!):
