Perfecting my Playlist


I took today off from the gym to get some much needed rest and to spend some much, much needed time on my PhD. I definitely feel better after taking a bit of a break, and I'm ready for tomorrow's big workout.

During my study break I took some time to work on my playlist. I seem to be stuck in a rut with my gym music lately ... I know I shouldn't be completely dependent on music to motivate me through my workouts, but it is a very, very important part. In fact, the days that my battery has run out on my iPod or some other mishap occurs, I feel totally off sync. Anyway.

Here's the new playlist that I've put together for my cardio session tomorrow --

1) When Love Takes Over (feat. Kelly Rowland) - David Guetta
2) We Belong - Strange Attractors & MC Scooter
3) True Believer - E-Type
4) Voodoo People (Pendullum Remix) - The Prodigy
5) It's Not Over (Club Mix) - Paffendorf
6) Blade (Jon Doe & Kutski Remix) - Warm Brothers feat. Red Monkey
7) Let the Music Take Control - Darude/Ville Virtanen
8) Painkiller - Freestylers feat. Pendulum
9) My Life Would Suck Without You (Bass Force Remix) - Kelly Clarkson
10) Thunderstruck - Blizzard Brothers
11) Jump that Rock (Whatever you want) - Scooter vs. Status Quo
12) Never Cry Again - Dash Berlin

[1 hour cardio playlist]

I'd welcome any other favorite gym workout songs. I need to mix things up a little!
