Music to Motivate

loriio

"Trouble" by Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson really got me moving this morning. Any other suggestions?

If you'd like to add me I actually just made a blog post with my current running playlist!
But my three favorite songs on it (right now) are:
"Silver" Hans Zimmer
"Take Me To Church" Hozier
"Waves" Robin Shulz (Mr.Probz radio edit dance mix)

I listen to my Pandora app while working out, and my station of choice is Hardwell.

KissofJudas

Ooooh. I have a whole playlist fillllled. Since I'm trying to run/walk more (have a 5K training app), a lot of these songs are ones that motivate me to keep up my pace!

"Weightless" - All Time Low
"Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen
"Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor
"Move Along" - All-American Rejects
"London Beckoned..."/ "Time to Dance" / "There's a Good Reason..." - Panic! at the Disco (really, most of their songs work, but these are the three I like best)
"Invincible" / "Do What You Want" / "Here It Goes Again" - OK Go (again, most of their songs are good for this)
"Paralyzer" - Finger Eleven

Also, while it's not in the same tempo range as the others, check out "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini. It's my personal belief that it's impossible to be unhappy while listening to that song--and it's got a great sentiment for some get up and go!

81Katz

Most anything by Pink. (Funhouse album, I'm not dead album and The Truth about love album are my fav's.)

Most anything by AC/DC

Queen

Limp Bizkit: 'Break Stuff' (haha the best song!)

Fall Out Boy's version of 'Beat It' .. very upbeat.
Fall Out Boy: 'I Don't care'

Velvet Revolver (Contraband album) Songs like Sucker Train Blues, Slither, Dirty Little Thing.

Seether: 'Fake it' perfect kick your own -ss work out song.

White Zombie/Rob Zombie: Song's like 'More human than human' and 'Thunder kiss 65'.

Justin Timberlake: SexyBack

Eminem/Nate Dogg: Shake that a--. (Probably a good song if you're into pole dancing exercising)

Eminem: Lose Yourself

Try 4'33" by John Cage

I usually listen to Deftones, Godsmack, System of a Down, Static X, or Metallica (Black Album and prior).

BicepsAndBows

I don't like to pay to download a lot of music cuz I'm a broke college student, so I usually listen to Pandora. There's a really good station on there called "Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout" which plays a lot of fast paced songs with great beats for working out to or even just for getting pumped up for your day to! There's also a really cool App (I forget the exact name) called something like "Match My Pace" that is free that plays music that matches the pace you are moving during your workout, so the faster you run, the faster the beat goes. I really like that one, too!

Noelv1976

I just play As I Lay Dying's last three albums on Shuffle. Don't need anything else.
