I need your help mumsnetters. I want to compile a playlist for my ipod to get me moving and I have unfortunately turned into an old fart when it comes to music...

[FatGirlThin]

After the indulgence of the last few weeks today I seriously need to lose some weight so I'm going to up my exercise. I want some really upbeat stuff to get me walking/running. I've trawled my own cds and I have some good stuff but I want some more modern/pop type stuff. As an example I like 'girls' by Sugababes (I had to look it up though, didn't have a clue who it was by...am so OLD ) Please can anyone help?!

oh god install genius on your ipod and get on with it,

Explain Genius oh able but not necessarily helpful sister....

Beyonce "All the single ladies" gets me moving every time.

Um... Kylie
Hot Chip
Roisin Murphy
Killers
Katy Perry

These (or at least some of their songs) will all provide disco-beat style rhythm for running to. Search on youtube to see/hear individual songs then get from itunes store.

get the slumdog millionaire soundtrack.

Kaiser Chiefs: Ruby
Kings of Leon: The Bucket
Mark Ronson (?): Valerie
Girls Aloud: Jump

go and look at it on itunes
it recommends other tunes similar.

IME the ONLY best song ever for running is.

mr blue sky et voila

noisettes
alphabeat
scissor sisters
madcon
orson
jackson 5
jackie wilson

I have Alphabeat and scissor sisters

Able - does genius only put together stuff from songs you already have then? I want new stuff!

Mr Blue Sky is good'un.

Atm playlist has Foo Fighters, Killers, Alphabeat, Scissor sisters, Evanescence, Kaiser Chiefs, Scouting for girls and Greenday.

you need some basement jaxx, fatboy slim and old ministry of sound
not my usual type of thing, but great for running
