What Kind of Music Do You Work Out to?

In honor of the 4th of July creeping up on us later this week, my spinning instructor decided to make the class "patriotic-themed" this morning. Who would have thought one could find so much "America" music to bike to?

According to said instructor, those of us who have never experienced biking to "classical marches" are missing out on the fun of it. Admittedly, some of the marches weren't too bad, and actually did get my heart racing. As much as I love my country though, I'm not sure how I feel about trying to break a sweat to "This Land is Your Land."

I find it easier to work out to more contemporary, upbeat tunes, so I was pretty stoked when Destiny's Child's "Jumpin'" somehow make its way onto the playlist. The instructor, not so much.

My gym playlist consists of everything from Green Day to Britney Spears. Red Jumpsuit Apparatusus to N'Sync. Daddy Yankee to Third Eye Blind. Embarrassingly enough, my favorite album to work out to is the soundtrack from A Night at the Roxbury. One of these days, I'm afraid I'll start bobbing my head like a Butabi brother when "What is Love" comes on. Next to bad 90's club music, I enjoy the Mamma Mia! soundtrack as well. Who would have guessed that Abba could get your blood flowing so much? Not me, for one.


How about you guys...what's your favorite music to get moving to? Any guilty pleasures? Please share...I'm always looking for new stuff to put on my I-Pod!
