    One of my allll time faves - What a Feeling by Irene Cara. That song makes me Mooooove mah booty!!!
    Same with Maniac from Flashdance!

    Scar - Def Leppard
    Barracuda - Heart
    Don't laugh (ok, laugh if you want!) The Climb - Miley Cyrus. I love the lyrics to it and I can sing along to that while I'm working and I feel like it's me, talking to myself, urging me forward.

    Till I Collapse - Eminem
    "'Cause sometimes you feel tired,
    feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
    But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
    and just pull that *kitten* out of you and get that motivation to not give up
    and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse."

    Fighter- Christina Aguilera
    1,2 Step- Ciara
    Hot N Cold- Katy Perry
    Live your Life- TI Feat Rihanna
    Stronger- Kanye West
    Bleed it Out- Linkin Park
    Bad Habit- Offspring
    So What- Pink

    I love this thread! I can get some new songs :smile:

    For running I LOOOOVE Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. It's a long song with an unchanging beat that lets me just zone.

    Ooh that's a good one. Must try that!

    Rage Against The Machine are great for getting that burst of energy. Thunderstruck by AC/DC, A.S.I.W.Y.F.A., Daft Punk, The Prodigy, some of the faster Nirvana songs.... Hm, I think I might make a playlist now :)

    Not sure why, but Korn's "Coming Undone" gets me moving and I lose myself in it. I have a few more songs I love but they are on my zune, which is currently dead and needing to be recharged. :) I like anything hard rock...Three Days Grace "home" and a few others they sing really motivate me as well. :bigsmile:

    I have a cycle of songs I go through while I'm exercising. Sometimes I play the same song over and over again.


    Here are the most motivational for me:

    "Stronger" - Kayne West
    "Now that that don't kill me, can only make me stronger." I love that line!

    "Not Afraid" - Eminem
    "I'm not afraid to take a stand, everybody come take my hand."

    "Live Your Life" T.I.
    I LOOOVE THE BEAT!

    "So Bad" - Eminem
    Hilarious lyrics--- and the beat keeps me moving.


    "Lost" - Coldplay
    "Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean I'm lost. Just because I'm hurting, doesn't mean I'm hurt."

    "I gotta feeling" - Blackeyed Peas
    There is a really powerful part that always gets me PUMPED!

    My Pandora radio is set to Five Finger Death Punch

    any of the music that comes along from that band makes me work harder!

    I am highly motivated on my own so music takes my mind away....from the workout :)
