Can I get good recommendation for music albums?

[angel nee nee]

Hello.
I have started running on treadmill and relized I don't have songs that are fast enough for running.
(I do not run that fast though.)

I had some musics from shape workout series.
it's shape cardio top 40 hits
and shape walk classis rock

(yeah it was meant for walking so no wonder it was too slow. lol )

do you have a good recommendation for fast pace musics?

I am not even sure what bpm I am looking for yet...

If you can give me some album names, I will go check them out on itune.

thank you so much.

I'm a huge Queen fan, and have used this cd while on the treadmill. The first song starts out more slowly, so it would work for a warmup:

Just a thought, depending on what kind of music you like, trance and house music is usually 120-160 BPM and there are tons of live or studio DJ sets online for free. I found them really good for running.

Judge Jules has a live 2-hour radio show on BBC Radio 1 that comes out once a week that contains house and trance music: http://alldj.org/index.php?name=News&new_topic=57

Armin van Buuren is a very well-known trance DJ who also has a weekly radio show: http://alldj.org/index.php?name=News&new_topic=8

As does Markus Schulz: http://alldj.org/index.php?name=News&new_topic=65

That gave me an idea to go to podcast to look for some. thanks so much.
I like listening to some positive lyrics while I run, but I did find some trance to get started that has bpm number to go witht hem. I will keep looking for some more for variety.

Daft Punk! Cured my depression on the elliptical. But don't listen to Something About Us for a cooldown. I'm convinced that Guy-Man is in love with me now.

I've heard people talk about using DJ Steveboy's downloads...suposedly he developed them for runners. But I haven't used them and don't know much about them.

I recommend FREE downloads from www.podrunner.com (I've been using them for about 2 years for speed walking) and www.motiontraxx.com (I just started using them).

Podrunner (also under www.djsteveboy.com , metioned by beyond.omega) has a large variety of mixes at both steady-state bpm and mixed bpm (like 'staircase' mixes that increase, then decrease in bpm, or 'ramp' mixes that just increase, or "podrunner intervals' mixes, made to train for 5k, 8k or 10k distances.

The Motiontraxx mixes aren't all labeled for bpm, but some are. There are steady state, increasing bpm and interval mixes.

HTH!

"I'm in Love With My Car" is one of my favorite Queen songs. Definitely in heavy rotation on the iPod!

Lady Gaga anything! I just WANT to do exercise when I hear her songs.
Also, they're an alternative band (which is my main category of music) but The Killers' CD Hot Fuss is very upbeat and would be great to run or do aerobics to.

[sherry7899]

Kellie, I love that song, too! I was too young to see them when they last toured the United States. A good friend of ours saw them a bunch of times at Madison Square Garden, though...The closest I've gotten is going to see the excellent tribute band Almost Queen.
