The "Almost" Perfect Cardio Playlist

I'm always looking for motivation at the gym. Especially on my cardio workout days. Finding the right playlist for my 30 minute workout can make all the difference in the world. I've been experimenting with some different song combinations and I think I've finally found one that helps me get the most out of my workout.

The first song by the Scorpions is a live version and there is about a minute and a half warmup before they kick it into gear. I was at this concert, so it also provides a happy flashback. At the end of the playlist I have added a 5 minute cool down song by The Swell Season. I just saw them in concert this past summer and this was one of my favorite songs.

Of course...eventually I'll get tired of these songs, so I would love to hear your favorite workout playlists.
