Help me with a workout mix for my girlfriend! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Bossnass · 12-12-2004, 10:11 AM

I am giving her a mp3 player for Christmas, a 256 Rio Forge Sport.
I would like to have a loaded SD card with a mix good-to-go as well. The problem is, I don't have any idea what to put on it. Her usual tastes (think Sarah McLachlan) don't seem to transfer to working out, and running/gym music is the whole purpose of this gift.

She seems to know and like most of the terrible music that is played in bars when she drags me out with her. Nothing house; more top 40 dance type. I really don't know where to start.
I'm told one of her current favorites is by the "new pornographers", 'daddy don't know' or something along those lines.

Please recommend upbeat exercise type music that would be similar to the above described. Thanks for your help.

I'm not coming up with any names, because my brain isn't working right now, but I think Slavakion's on the right track. Training montage music is what we're looking for here.

The new Gwen Stefani album is real girly, dancy, work out like. If she is into that, then a song or two wouldnt be a bad idea.
