cardio mix tape--ideas?

[buksoon]

I have to start going crazy on the cardio in preparation for a fitness test I'm required to take.

I need the kind of music that's going to make me want--hell, need! --to pump those legs--in spite of my cardiovascular system's protests!

Right now, songs on my mix tape are:

Hypnotize ... Notorious B.I.G.
Walk This Way ... Run D.M.C.
Last Resort ... Papa Roach
Closer ... Nine Inch Nails
Holding Out For a Hero ... Bonnie Tyler
Break Stuff ... Limp Bizkit
Lady Marmalade ... a quartet of underage vixens

These songs are getting old to my ears! Any suggestions? Much, much appreciated!

i dont know if you like house or trance music at all, but it kicks ASS to work out to (more like club music). if theres a crunch gym in your area they play a lot of clubtype music and also have similar stuff available on CD/tape (i think its at crunchfitness.com). theres a million different types, but looking at your list i bet you would like a lot of deep house with some vocals...(im a dj)

I'm w/ jeangenie on this one -- ALL my cardio tapes are Metallica on one side, TRANCE on the other! And I go like a mofo!

Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk..........awesome workout song. There is a remix of it that is really good too. I personally like to remix, but my girlfriend likes the original more.

While you are at it checkout Crescendolls by daft punk too

i like hard trance, dance remixes and some hard stuff too.

recently, i have been listening to the soundtrack of swordfish and snatch. i like soundtracks so you get an interesting mix.

i love madonna remixes though, don't flame.

danny t, sasha, carl cox, david morales, digweed, paul oakenfield etc for trance

I'm already planning my next trip to CD World--thanks guys!

Know what? I never got into house music. Too monotonous for me--eventually I stop hearing the beat altogether.

Every so often, a song comes out that's just amaaazing! I think "Hypnotize" and "Closer" fall into that category, and the others I mentioned (maybe not Break Stuff--but it "gives good rage"! ).

I don't know enough about music to know if there are songs like that out there that I'm missing. So, can you steer me in that kind of direction? "Hidden gems", sorta?

Phem: Eye of the Tiger. "My name is Drago and ... I must break you." Notice that I put Bonnie Tyler on my list. That song, as you know, is from the Footloose soundtrack! Yeah, eighties!
