Motivating Music?

[vmays0318]

I just got a new IPOD and I?m trying to make up a good playlist to listen to while working out. I wanted to find out if anyone has any good suggestions for songs they like that really help motivate them. Thanks girls!

[misstransformer]

I was just listening to "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera. I wish the song was more generalized, and referred to life in general, rather than focusing on becoming stronger after leaving a "man", but overall it's motivating.

You can listen to it on one of Adela's videos here:

I've been using it to warm up. Great Question.

Awesome! I need that! Just went through a divorse and this would be great to download! I would also love to know some more motivating music. Pink is pretty good, Fergie to. I like to workout to those!

I've never gone through a divorce, but I've heard how difficult they can be. I'm happy the song I posted was able to lift your spirits or motivate you. I often use music just to get up and moving, when I'm having a bad day.

[boadiceamoon]

It depends what sort of music you like, really. My tastes are fairly eclectic but I have found hard rock or techno to be more advantageous for working out; I recently got a new iPod myself and have been putting music on it.

Right now I have:

BT
Disturbed
Type O Negative
Metallica
The Prodigy
Queen
Journey
Nine Inch Nails
Marilyn Manson
Tool
Garbage

In addition, I have Thievery Corporation and Zero 7, none of which I use for working out. It's too calm.

[pirouette]

Nine Inch Nails- anything from Pretty Hate Machine
Old school Madonna
prince- Black Sweat and Baby I'm a star and Let's go Crazy
Robbie Williams- Rock DJ
Ciara- Hotline
Yung Joc- Get it shawty
Gwen S.- Wind it up
Dolly Parton- 9 to 5
Midnight Star- Freakazoid and No parking on the dance floor
JT- Sexy Back
Usher- caught up
Led Zeplin- Immigrant Song
Daft Punk
