Allstar by Smashmouth

Holiday in my Head by Smashmouth

Answer 5

push it - salt n peppa

whip it - devo

get over it - eagles

eye of the tiger - foreigner

you want songs with a fast tempo so your running rhythm can match that of the song to make you faster. you also want songs you like so they motivate you!

choose certain songs from what you already have.

you can also search for running iMixes on iTunes or check out the nike+ website (its a great system for runners who love music - check it out! if you dont want to buy the special shoes, you can just buy an attachment that works for any shoe - or make your own, just google it)

Answer 6

any thing that moves you.

Answer 7

I read in a magazine that if you put some fastpaced upbeat songs your heat will actually go in rythmy as if you listen to slow songs you will not be as foucused to your exercise...

Answer 8

Cool Kids

Here are a few of my favorite:

This is pretty much mainstream music teens listen to but you may like it.

Lean like a cholo: Lyrics are trash but you shouldnt be listening while working out.

This is how a heart brakes

Sandstorm: good beat no lyrics

Low: T-pain

Answer 9

I don't need a man by the pussycat dolls.

lmao I know it's dumb but I always listen to it while running.

Answer 10

My music varies a lot.. If I'm out for a leisurely jog I put on some oldies & motown. Nice & calm music helps me enjoy the run. But if I'm out with some specific time goals I put on loud & upbeat music.. anything from DMX to Slipknot to The Used to House Music..

Answer 11

shake it by metro station hahaha i always run to it its soooo good :)

Answer 12

songs with really good beats.. or songs that you know all or most of the words to.. so you can sing them in your head and it makes the running go by faster.

Answer 13

I'm Not Ready to Make Nice by the    Dixie Chicks

Answer 14

i love 'rip it up' by jet, it has a really good beat for running!

Answer 15

if you know their music style i'd download their style... also it should be a fast or medium paced song if it's slow.. well i believe that slow music makes you run slow x) not always true but yeah =3
