I thought this would be a fun Friday post. Back in July after Fitness & Feta turned two years old, I asked you guys to fill out a reader survey so I could gauge your likes, dislikes, etc. and tailor my content a little more toward what YOU are looking for. By the way, if anyone is wondering where the heck Words for the Weekend went, pretty much nobody said that they liked my little Saturday series, so I stopped posting them. I do listen, you know!
Anyway, one of my questions at the end of the survey (just for fun) was about your favorite workout songs. You know, what jams just really get you going? What tunes get you moving and grooving like this:
Sorry, Jen. Had to do it.
I included this question to get some new playlist material for my own questions, but I thought maybe you guys would want to know what others said too.
Here are 50 fun songs that you came up with:

Yes – I’ve been meaning to for a while!
Thanks for sharing your play list! I’ve been following you for a few months now, and I’ve become a HUGE fan. I teach about 4 boot camps each week, and also do some personal training, and you are always my ‘go-to’ person when I need fresh ideas. Thanks for sharing your passion and being a terrific inspiration – keep up the good work!

Tammy, thank you so much for your nice words. Happy to share my ideas and that people actually use them! This comment made my day – hope you are having an awesome weekend!
Haha love this! Remember the name really is the best pump up song! I’m also a big fan of All I Do Is Win 🙂
Unfortunately I have to save songs like those for my own workouts.. not sure the YMCA would appreciate all the swears in class!
Hahaha that is very true!!

Highway to Hell is my fav on the list, and to be honest I am a little surprised more of their songs aren’t on the list. “Shoot to Thrill” and for “For Those About to Rock” are to amazing songs to workout to. “Sweet Emotion” is another really good song.
