Favorite Workout Songs/Good Workout Music?

Listeninguponyou · June 2014

I like to use music to motivate me to exercise longer and daily. I have a long weight loss journey ahead of me and want to make the ultimate playlist to workout to!
I know this has probably been asked before, but please help me out!
I'll take any genre and from any time period of music!
Thanks.

Have you ever heard of Cross Canadian Ragweed. They are a texas dirt band . A cross between rock and country. They seem to have this beat that makes me walk a little faster and a little farther.
Check them out

MGMT - Time To Pretend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9dSYgd5Elk
Empire Of The Sun - Alive

Emile Sande - Next To Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nwdjQmc_N8
The Kooks - You Don't Love Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSLiwzMNIZI

But any songs from the above artists are good! Pretty much every Wombat song is upbeat

For me, it depends on the workout I'm doing. When I workout hard (I do circuit training and boxing) I prefer rap/pop type music to keep me going. Any song that makes me feel confident, I can work hard. Good luck!

Here are a few songs that I enjoy listening to:

Stronger- Kanye West
Run- Flo Rida
Whine Up- Kat Deluna (feat. Elephant Man)
Calabria 2008- Enur
Promiscuous- Nelly Furtado & Timbaland
Get Buck In Here- DJ Felli Fel (feat. Akon, Lil Jon, Ludacris & Diddy)
Smack That- Akon
Cruise- Florida Georgia LIne (feat. Nelly)
Timber- Pitbull (feat. Ke$ha)
The Way I Are- Timbaland (feat. Keri Hilson & D.O.E)
Beware (Jay-Z Remix)- Punjabi MC

I think Eye Of The Tiger is one of the most played workout songs ever. I listen to it all the time. Same goes for Eminem. The faster he raps the faster I go!

I would try doing sexy songs.......... For some reason working out and sweating = sexy mood. I like listening to "birthday sex (the remix)" by Jeremih.... its up tempo... I also like Ciara's "Body Party (Remix)"

robs_prob · June 2014

Everything by 2Cellos, Kylie Minogue and Gipsy Kings and no workout mix is complete w/o Move Along by the All American Rejects

PunkyRachel · June 2014

Christian Rock/Alternative music. Not the churchy gospel songs, but stuff like Flyleaf, Skillet, Audio Adrenaline, Toby Mac, etc. Its gotta be upbeat and I also find it very motivating.

FireStorm1972 · June 2014

Oh yes one more Ciara's "Work" with Missy Elliot

Brownsbacker4evr · June 2014

Whenever im not working out, I have a pretty wide variety I like to listen to. Whenever im working out, I tend to keep it more aimed towards fast paced rock/alternative rock/metal

A couple things i've been jamming to lately that goes good with my workout:

What a day - Nonpoint (
