Well you have many of the same ones I do. I don't have Poom Poom that's for sure - something about that song really rubs me the wrong way haha. Songs on my mix not on yours include Cindy C, The Future, Gold Standard, Race, New World, Emancipation, Endorphinemachine, I Like Funky Music, Lavaux, Lolita, Moviestar, Make Your Mama Happy, Stare... Hard to go wrong with anything upbeat and/or funky!

I have always loved to exercise with Prince. Any Prince will do!. Most of his official releases are funky and have enough rhythm to have a great workout. For the boots, I tend to make general listening playlists and exercise playlists. Given that some of those songs are long and at times rather repetitive such as Dance Electric and Purple Music, they make perfect workout music. I also find that some of those very long funk songs played at the after-shows and even at times at his regular concerts do much better as exercise music than general listening. There is something about getting into his i groove while doing aerobic exercise. In other words, I don't think you can go wrong with anything except perhaps ONA, the Question, and the P & M shows, and even these would work well for stretching and modern dance. I am glad I could help narrow your list .
