sarah, there's a thread it the fitness section about this. It might be about 12 months old by now. But my play list changes frequently. I get bored with my music easily so always change it up. Here's some stuff that's on my current list or I've had on it before...
Raise your glass (Pink)
Dirty (Body rockers - this song is my constant. It's been on every play list for the last 18 months!)
Dark beat (Oscar G)
I gotta feeling (Black eyed peas)
Party all the time (BEP)
We r who we r (Keisha)
Take it off (Keisha)
Hey baby drop it to the floor (PittBull)
Rock This Party (Bob Sinclair)
Respect (My Fitness Music)
Turn me lose (Young Diva's - a god warm up/cool down song)
If I can't have you (Young Diva's)
Get ready for this (Biggest loser workout mix)
On a mission (Gabriella Cilmi)
Rock that body (BEP)
Boom boom pow (BEP)
Highway to hell and long way to the top (AC/DC - good motivation)
Right round (Flo rider)
Hands up (out of office - Ministry of sound)
My tip is to regularly change the order of your play list and to change the list frequently. A lot of people find their body responds to the music cues and will adjust for the next song.
Once you work out where you normally tire (say the 15 min mark), pop a really upbeat song that will get YOU moving and inspired into that spot. This will help spur you on.
Don't forget warm up and cool down music. A proper warm up and cool down is vital to avoid injury. I have slower music for my stretch sessions (stuff like Smile by Uncle Cracker)
What kind of earphones are you using? A lot of people find they get annoyed by the ear phones slipping out of their ears all the time. You can get sport ones that hook over your ears so they don't fall out. I have a pair that are like a headband but small ear pieces and are sweat resistant. Have you got an arm band for your iPod/phone? Well worth it
Enjoy!
MG
