I HEART my iPod. Its user friendly, does what I tell it to, it’s way cute and portable, its commercial free, has tunes to cheer me up, goes for eight hours, you can shuffle your tunes with just one button, it has more than once it has blocked out the noise of my children, connets me about through the iTunes Store, AND my i Pod motivates me to get up and get moving.
My iMix for walking was inspired by my sister-in-laws’ passion for playlists on her iPod. I have a short attention span for exercising, and she encouraged me to make playlists for different occasions. Most fitness gurus suggest a playlist with a consistent beat, but this one keeps me guessing and giggling.

I also found a couple of good sites for walking playlists. Try: Walky Talk and Quick and Simple. And if I ever become a runner (one of my 2008 goals) I want to try the Nike iPod Sports Kit.
Let me know -
What are the tunes that get you going?

What an excellent idea to use "walking" as a playlist theme.
