  • I would really love to get an idea for some good motivational songs I'm sure other would to! I listen to about anything thanks! =)
  • For working out I listen to a mash of different types of music. I usually just throw on AOL Radio on my iphone and there's a station called "Workout Music". For my abs though I always start it off with Britney Spears- Circus and I end it with Rock Mafia- Big Bang. The 2nd song is so so so good for a really slow ab workout.
  • One song I listen to every time i work out (which, for now is just walking) is "Firework" by Katy Perry...it's kinda my theme song.
    Another one I like is "If I had you" by Adam Lambert cause it has that "kick butt" rhythm.
  • Thanks a bunch u guys! Those will be great and I've been trying to figure out who sung tht new some firework!
  • "Switch" by Will Smith is good for a mid-workout kick in the pants. I'm nearly ashamed to admit this...but I recently put "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer on my iPod....
  • oh god, that's touuuugh. i'm the type to listen to angry songs while i work out bc i'm really passive aggressive lmao

    nine inch nails is great for angry workouts

    i prefer amgry music, or rock music in general- metallica, soundgarden, NIN, smashing pumpkins, etc. lots of 90's rocks with some metal mixed in.

    i also like no doubt- its fast paced, fun to sing along to, and peppy.

    other stuff i like to work out to is house music and drum and bass, if i kind of want to have some fast paced music "in the backgorund" rather than stuff i want to sort of sing along to. i know, i like to sing along when i'm working out. not that i can actually sing cause i'm so out of breath, but i try.

    anyway, i choose based on how i'm feeling that day.
  • My top, outdated faves because they just make me feel like kicking butt and taking names:

    Many of the songs from the "Rocky" soundtracks
    The theme song to "Superman"
  • "I've got a feeling" by Black Eyed Peas is a good one. I like how it has a slower verse and a fast pumping chorus. I find songs like that are good for HIT workouts. I would love to find more songs that follow that pattern.
  • I like slow music for working out even when I am doing fast cardio because I think it calms me down. Try it. It works! I listen to TLC a lot.

    I do this, too, though for me it's Frank Sinatra.
  • I can't really name a favorite workout song, but my favorite music genre for working out is power metal. I just have to make sure I only listen to it during my cardio workouts and not strength training, though. =p
  • Oh yes I love "I've got a feeling" by Black Eyed Peas & Firework too. My favs!

    But my ultimate song is fighter by christina aguilera!

    Quote:
    'Cause it makes me that much stronger
    Makes me work a little bit harder
    It makes me that much wiser
    So thanks for making me a fighter
    Made me learn a little bit faster
    Made my skin a little bit thicker
    Makes me that much smarter
    So thanks for making me a fighter
    it always gets me to push alittle harder!
