Funny. I was just talking about this on the Welcome Anthony thread.
Lately the RENT movie soundtrack has been my workout soundtrack. There are a lot of fast paced numbers, but also a lot of variety which is nice if you're working intervals.
If I am tired of RENT, Bright Lights, Big City is my other most common selection. For most of the same reasons as RENT.

Posted: 11/21/05 at 8:59pmI'm a lazy @$$, but if I were to ever work out, I'm sure stuff from RENT, Avenue Q, Wicked, and other upbeat, fast-paced, or intense showtunes would make it on my playlist.

Posted: 11/21/05 at 9:32pmBack when I ran track in high school, we used to sing Rent songs on our distance runs. Light My Candle was the best, it sets up a good pace for you.

Posted: 11/21/05 at 9:42pmDon't work out, but I listen to a lot of stuff on my Ipod when I clean the house. I like to dance to "What is this Feeling" around my kitchen with a mop.

Posted: 11/21/05 at 11:25pmI've used the actors fund benefit CD (2 disc set) of "Dreamgirls" - I get so involved in the story time flies!) and, truth be told, I have added "City Lights" from "The Act" to many a workout for years! Next up will be the new RENT film CD I'm sure.
