Buffett Playlists for Treadmill, Elliptical, Walking

[Pepe T. Pirate]

Hi, everyone at the Healthy Living thread! Carolina Girl suggested that I hang out over here with you guys! Here's a copy of my post in the Jimmy Discussion Area yesterday:
---------------------------
Has anyone put together iTunes playlists that are organized by beats per minute?

I've returned to the gym (again) and I'm thinking it would be less boring and I'd be more apt to hang in there with the Cardio if I was stairstepping, "ellipicalling", or walking to the beat of some favorite tunes strung together at same tempo. I counted my pace on the elliptical and I am currently doing about 110 to 125 beats per minute. For now, that range keeps me in the cardio Target Aerobic Zone, but in a month or two, I'll be a fitter parrot head and will have to pick up the musical and physical pace a bit. And, I'll have to put together a faster playlist!

I searched the web tonight and it appears that iTunes will inform you of an individual song's beats per minute info IF you have the song already in your library and IF you purchased it from iTunes. Also, there are inexpensive programs that will analyze your music library, but the music has to be in your computer (my music library currently resides in my car). I also found several lists with BPM info for some of my favorite oldies, but not Jimmy, Jerry Jeff in Belize, the Stones, Aretha, Zack Brown, Beach Boys, Nadira, Cheryl, Wailers, etc. I searched Buffettnews, too, but couldn't find any previous posts where folks were putting Tropical and wonderful playlists for exercising.

So, is there anyone out there who has put together iTunes playlists that are organized by beats per minute? Wanna share? BTW, 120 steps every minute = walking 3 miles an hour.
Thanks, Natalie (Pepe T.)

Hi Pepe-

I think Carolina Girl meant for you to join the discussion in the Healthy Living thread. There is no difference between your thread here in the off topic section as opposed to the thread you posted earlier. Both can still be seen by everyone. So since you have reponses in the other thread, I'm going to lock this one.
