1. Clint Eastwood by Gorrilaz - kind of mellow but with a distinct enough beat that you can still count reps to it. Also not so mellow that you're gonna fall asleep. Also funky as hell.
2. L Wells by Franz Ferdinand - a bit of a quicker tempo, gets you moving a bit. Doesn't go all funky with the meter like other FF songs do. This song is also the only song I've found to date with the name Lindsay in it, so it rocks.
3. Devil's Answer by Atomic Rooster - The tempo of this song is just about perfect for me to do repetitive things by (I really shouldn't end sentences with prepositions at). The tempo also picks up as the song progresses
4. Stronger by Kanye West - Now if this was a workout mix for ME it would be the original Daft Punk version, however the original is such a good song that anything that samples it is also rockin.
5. I Was Born (A Unicorn) by The Unicorns - Another uptempo fun song. The hemiolas may throw you off if you're counting reps -- but this way your excercising your brain too.
6. Detox by King of Pants - Mashups are great for doing anything that requires energy. This song combines the awesome beats and funk of Toxic with the soulfull wailing of Rehab. Ahhh Amy Winehouse and Brittney Spears -- together at last!
7. Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul) by Meatloaf - Yes, thats right Meatloaf. The most rockinest song from the Rocky Horror Picture Show -- it just makes you want to get up and dance! Hot Patootie!
8. Don't Stop Me Now by Queen - Fun and upbeat. The lyrics just make you feel energized "I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars!... like an atom bomb I'm gonna oh, oh, oh explode!!
9. E-Pro by Beck - While this may not be Beck's best song. It is by far his most rockin, I think at least. Another one you just want to dance to.
10. Single Ladies by Beyonce -- I DARE you do listen to this song and not do the locomotion!
11. Holland 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel - Great GREAT song, also really upbeat and funky. Great to move to, unfortuneatly its about the Holocaust -- so don't listen to the lyrics.
12. Conquest by the White Stripes - This song is great for getting psyched.
13. Look Good in Leather - Cody Chestnut and the Rolling Stones - Another great song for getting psyched, and another impossible not to dance song.
14. Voo Doo Child by Rogue Traders -- This dance hit is actually pretty rockin. Sure its poppy as can be, and not all that complex, but who needs that.
15. Dr. Who by Bullamakanka -- I know I know, a Doctor Who song? Really!? Trust me this song is really funky and fun, and great to move to. Ignore the lyrics if you must.
16. Mexican Radio by Devo - Man I love Devo. This song is a little more languid, can be a little more relaxed when moving to this one.
17. Kids by MGMT - this one is still nice and steady, but a little slower. It's still really easy to dance to.
18. There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards by Ian Drury and the Blockheads - Time to start winding down. This song is still fun and bouncy but a little slower for winding down the workout.
18. I'll Believe in Anything by Wolf Parade - This is just a GREAT song. A good way to wrap things up. I always feel good after listening to a song this great.
19. Burn the Witch by Queens of the Stone Age - this song forces you to slow down a bit. A good way to relax after a work out, it still rocks though.
20. Decision/Indecions by Atomic Rooster - I know its the second song by AR but its really nice and mellow and good for calming down.

Even though I don't like working out, I do like this playlist!
I suggest you upload this somewhere on the web in the form of a podcast. Go for it, I dare you.
