Here at FITNESS, we think the best thing about MP3 players is that no one can judge our dorky workout music -- what we listen to is just between us, our ears, and our feet. Until now.
The thing is, we needed inspiration. "Eye of the Tiger" just doesn't pack the same motivating punch it used to, and there's only so much Britney Spears one can take on the treadmill or the trails. So we decided to talk to the professionals -- the people who work out for a living. We asked top trainers across the country to share their workout playlists, and this is what they told us, in alphabetical order by artist.
P.S. Okay, we admit it, we still love "Eye of the Tiger," which is why it did make our final cut. Britney, however, was not so lucky.
