Shape wants to know …

Shape, May, 2004 by Gabrielle Gayagoy

What's on your iPod (or other MP3 player) when you work out?

* "I love Missy Elliott because her words say it all. Like in 'Pass That Dutch,' she says, 'Don't stop/Get it till yo clothes get wet.' Hearing that gives me an extra boost."--Nadine Salemi, 29, Randolph, N.J.

* "About 35 minutes into my workout is John Mayer's 'Your Body Is a Wonderland.' It gets me through that last bit by reminding me that men write songs about women who inspire them--and I want to inspire my husband like that!"--Betsy Sprenger, 28, Charlotte, N.C.

* "The soundtrack from Rocky III! 'Eye of the Tiger' is a very motivating song when I'm tired or ready to quit. It always keeps me going."--Tracie Runge, 30, Omaha, Neb.
