I've come to the conclusion that the absolutely best song for a quality warm-up session on the cross trainer machine at the gym is Stevie Wonder's Master Blaster (Jammin'). It keeps me at just the right speed, and has the right energy.
Other findings:
Early Talking Heads are great for lunging, especially Found a Job, whose lyrics are also a great life motivator.
When a friend asks you what you're listening to at the gym, never tell the truth. One day I was caught listening to Hall & Oates' You Make my dreams, which is gym-bouncy and worthy, but social death.
Being caught listening to Hall & Oates was bad enough - but telling us about it? Shame.
