Playlist songs
I am attempting to create a playlist on my ipod to motivate me to workout. Personally I think it is easier to workout when I have some inspirational music blasting in my ears. I was wondering is anyone has any specific songs that help to motivate them. I like pretty much all types of music. Any suggestions? :exercise:

Warm It Up by Girl Talk---a very fun song! (actually Girl Talk is awesome in general)

I can ONLY work out with music! It's so helpful!
I generally listen to either really trashy pop or club music. Basically anything fun, not-serious, and up-beat. Right now, it's a lot of techno/big European hits (essentially, anything that would make you want to dance/go out clubbing for a night!) and bad pop (think Rihanna, Kesha, Britney Spears, etc...). For some reason, I can't listen to my normal music when working out... it's almost boring, in some way. Also, basically any music from Glee... even though I don't like the show that much, something about the music is peppy and dance-inducing, which definitely keeps me energetic throughout my workout! Definitely ODD choices on my part, but they work for me! Good luck! |
This is going to give away my age, but here's what's on my Oh Gawd, Not the Treadmill! playlist:
Guns N Roses: Paradise City AC/DC: Back in Black Metallica: Enter Sandman Warrant: Cherry Pie Queen: I Want It All Queen: One Vision Queen: Headlong Bon Jovi: Keep the Faith Bon Jovi: Lay Your Hands On Me Bon Jovi: Blaze of Glory Damn Yankees: Damn Yankees The Allman Brothers: Whipping Post Robert Palmer: Simply Irresistable Judas Priest: Living After Midnight Aerosmith: Nine Lives Foghat: Slow Ride Van Halen: Runnin' With the Devil Bad Company: Bad Company Montrose: Rock Candy Deep Purple: Perfect Strangers What can I say? :D I'm an old rocker! |
I love pop type stuff or hip hop for a workout. Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Christina Agrulara, Missy Elliot, Pink, Katy Perry to name a few.
Anything that makes me want to dance, makes it fun to work out. |
I was hoping to get some cardio music suggestions from people as well. I'd love it if more people would post some of their workout music!
Right now, I have a huge variety of stuff on the workout playlist I use on the treadmill. I'll take any music I like in which there's a generally fast beat, even if the song itself generally isn't upbeat. Some of my choices are probably pretty odd, lol. Here's my current playlist: All These Things That I've Done, The Killers Amsterdam, Guster And She Was, Talking Heads And We Danced, The Hooters Babylon, David Gray Bette Davis Eyes, Kim Carnes Bleed It Out, Linkin Park Burning Down the House, Talking Heads Clocks, Coldplay Closer to Fine, Indigo Girls Come Downstairs and Say Hello, Guster Crazy, Gnarls Barkley Everlong, Foo Fighters Fall In Two, Guster Flathead, The Fratellis Golddigger, Kanye West Golden Touch, Razorlight Goodnight Goodnight, Hot Hot Heat Backyard, Guster Hang Me Up To Dry, Cold War Kids Here Comes the Rain Again, Eurythmics Hey Ya!, Outkast Holiday, Green Day Invincible, Pat Benatar Jesus on the Radio, Guster Just Like Heaven, The Cure Little Lion Man, Mumford & Sons Long Day, Matchbox Twenty Lose Yourself, Eminem Mr. Brightside, The Killers (Nothing But) Flowers, Guster Me and Julio, Simon and Garfunkle The Pretender, Foo Fighters Love the One You're With, CSN The Safety Dance, Men Without Hats Sexy Back, Justin Timberlake Since U Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson Slide, Goo Goo Dolls Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson Snow (Hey Oh), Red Hot Chili Peppers Two Weeks, Grizzly Bear What I've Done, Linkin Park When You Were Young, The Killers Word Forward, Foo Fighters Your Love, The Outfield Of those, the newest-to-me songs are my current favorites - the 3 Foo Fighters songs (whom I didn't realize I even liked until recently), the Mumford and Sons song (OMG I love it, and it's the PERFECT workout song for me - epic, with lots of builds) and a few others. I would love more suggestions though!! |

I love the rhythm of irish/scottish drinking and war songs, from traditional to rock and punk versions, especially Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molley, The Real McKenzies...

I really like P!nk's song Raise Your Glass. It's upbeat and good for working out. I also tend to listen to rock music because the beat keeps me motivated.
My favorite tunes for working out are: P!nk Lady GaGa A Day to Remember Breaking Benjamin Three Days Grace 3OH!3 3 Doors Down Thats all I can think of right now, but my advice is pick upbeat songs for your playlist, no slow songs. In my experience if I listen to slower songs while I work out I don't work out as hard.. Good Luck!!! |
Do you have a smartphone/internet -capable phone?
I am a HUGE fan of the Slacker Radio/ Pandora Apps. Today I did a loooong run, and I used the Kesha station on Slacker. Tons of upbeat, fun, indulgent girly songs! |
I have 2 songs that always make me think they are my theme songs...
Defying Gravity (by the Glee cast) Firework (by Katy Perry) Other songs on my MP3 player include: If I had you-Adam Lambert Dynamite -Taio Cruz I Like It -Enrique Inglasias Perfect -P!NK What the ****-Avril Lavinge Raise your glass -P!nk I can't remember what else is on my MP3 player...lol |
