    Currently, I am really digging Airplanes by B.O.B featuring Haley Williams.

    Can we pretend that airplanes
    In the night sky
    Are like shooting stars
    I could really use a wish right now.

    Really any music gets me motivated. I am not a huge rap person, but it really makes me push hard and when I often find myself moving with the beat so the faster the beat the better. I love any song that talks about a beautiful, sexy, hot, lovely or any other word in that scheme because I want to be the girl guys think about when they here those songs. So they motivate me to become that girl. Songs like that include 'beautiful girls by sean kingston', 'Next to you by chris brown', anything romantic basicallly, anything country, I want to be the girl that turns heads. Like 'she dont know shes beautiful by alan jackson'. I want to be the girl in all the songs the guys dream about. I do not want to be a slut or anything haha just want to feel pretty

    Wobble - VIC
    Bounce - Timbaland
    Party Like a Rockstar - Shop Boyz
    This S**t Will F**k You Up - Combichrist
    Shake That - Eminem

    And, Shelter by The XX (not a fast song, but it motivates me to start working out).

    I find shelter, in this way
    Under cover, hide away
    Can you hear, when I say?
    I have never felt this way

    Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
    Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
    Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
    Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

    Could I be, was I there?
    It felt so crystal in the air
    I still want to drown, whenever you leave
    Please teach me gently, how to breathe

    And I'll cross oceans, like never before
    So you can feel the way I feel it too
    And I'll mirror images back at you
    So you can see the way I feel it too

    Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
    Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
    Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
    Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

    Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
    Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

    I just have to get up and move when I hear "Party ROck Anthem" , "Sexy and I know it", and "I'm in Miami, B****", by LMFAO.

    And I always get pumped up when I hear "Faint" by Linkin Park. :)

    "Sky's The Limit" by Lil' Wayne is a good motivation song.

    "Ego" Beyonce
    "Usually I'm humble, right now I don't choose
    You can leave with me or you could have the blues
    Some call it arrogant, I call it confident
    You decide when you find on what I'm working with.....
    It's too big, it's too wide
    It's too strong, it won't fit
    It's too much, it's too tough
    I talk like this 'cause I can back it up

    I got a big ego, such a huge ego
    But he love my big ego, it's too much
    I walk like this 'cause I can back it up"

    Also Shake it out By Florance and the Machine
