I went running today (just a little… mixed in with my morning walk) for the first time in a long time. It felt great. Here are the songs on my high impact cardio playlist… either for running, or elliptical or bike or walking anything else cardio. You may or may not have my taste in music. I like quite the variety. I’m an 80’s band- freak so there’s a little of that in there. I have a 10 year old, so there are a few current hits that I happen to enjoy. And I’ve always loved The Offspring and the alternative, hard-core fast beat of most of their songs. Starting with my current favorite song… and then in no particular order after that, here are 100 workout songs for your iPod. All of these are pretty fast paced for running or high impact cardio: Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO Just Wanna Run by The Downtown Fiction Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes I Like It Like That by Hot Chelle Rae Good Feeling by Flo Rida You Can Still Rock in America by Night Ranger We’ll Be Alright by Travie McCoy Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner by Fall Out Boys Cool for Cats by Squeeze Pump It by The Black Eyed Peas How Far We’ve Come by Matchbox Twenty Only a Lad by Oingo Boingo Why Can’t I Be Like You by The Cure Working for the Weekend by Loverboy Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me) by Blessid Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne Rockstar by Nickelback We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 Where Them Girls At by David Guetta, Flor Rida & Nicki Minaj The Time (Dirty Bit) by The Black Eyed Peas All Along by The Offspring Like a G-6 by Far East Movement S&M By Rihanna Right Round by Flo Rida On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae TNT by AC/DC The Edge of Glory by Lady Ga Ga Super Bass by Nicki Minaj Don’t Wanna Go Home by Jason Derulo Magic by B.O.B One Fine Day by The Offspring I Like It by Enrique Iglesias Mr. Saxobeat by Alexandra Stan Faster by Matt Nathanson Walla Walla by The Offspring Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO Don’t Phunk With My Heart by The Black Eyed Peas No Brakes by The Offspring Buzzin’ by Mann Super Freak by Rick James Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings Rise and Fall by The Offspring Hey Baby by Pitbull Come Out Swinging by The Offspring Where Are We Runnin by Lenny Kravitz The Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim Not quite as fast-paced, but I still love to run to these too: Lose Yourself by Eminem Gonna Make You Sweat by C&C Music Factory Hot Blooded by Foreigner I Ran by Flock of Seagulls Rehab by Amy Winehouse Police and Thieves by The Clash No One Like You by The Scorpions Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard All Right Now by Free Nothin’ But a Good Time by Poison Price Tag by Jessie J Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield Rhythm of Love by Plain White T’s Written in the Stars by Tinie Tempah Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss All the Small Things by Blink 182 Hey Soul Sister by Train Don’t Trust Me by 3OH!3 What the Hell by Avril Lavigne DJ Got Us Fallin in Love Again by Usher The Stroke by Billy Squier Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People Cheers (Drink to That) by Rihanna You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship Keep Your Head Up by Andy Grammar Rumour Has It by Adele Jump by Van Halen Centerfold by J Geils Band Just Dance by Lady Ga Ga I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas I’ll Wait by Van Halen Dirty Little Secret by The All American Rejects All the Right Moves by One Republic Rocketeer by Far East Movement Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’ by Journey Bring Me to Life by Evanescence Somewhere Only We Know by Hopes and Fears Bad by The Cab Come Sail Away by Styx Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey Good Life by One Republic If I Die Young by The Band Perry Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond Lighters by Bad Meets Evil Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri Space Cowboy by The Steve Miller Band Oh Darling by Plug In Stereo Don’t You Want Me by Human League Amazing by Bruno Mars What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction (I Just) Died in Your Arms by Cutting Crew Bad Case of Lovin’ You by Robert Palmer If you’ve got a favorite workout song that did not make my list, please share!
