What music motivates you?

jessicae1aine

I love cardio, but I wouldn't survive without music. I use it to keep myself distracted from the terrible music the gym is playing, to keep myself motivated in a lot of cases, and to challenge myself to keep up with the pace for at least the duration of the song.

My top 5:
PF Project ft. Ewan McGregor - Choose Life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS1qBrrb1w4
Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl6RJyZdBSU
Drowning Pool - Bodies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgkkdiPPNo8
The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRYNYb30nxU
Brokencyde - Freaxx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8F5YSA1Oz0

What music motivates you to keep going or push harder?

I know it's not for many, but I find that dubstep is great for me in all types of concentration-necessary situations. For working out, I love the constant rhythm, the build up, and then the "bass drop" which is almost like an audio kick to my workout. Love it

Pretty much anything with a good beat.

I love music that is extremely bubbly. Faster music gets me going--not sure why. Most of the stuff that I listen to comes from Japanese pop songs or just about anything techno-ish from the DDR games.

Fast paced music, usually with lots of decent bass and good beats. So normally that would include lots of EBM & Industrial type stuff.

I listen to a variety of Music, but the best songs for me when I work out are the songs that send a message to me, pushing me to do better for myself and keep working. But when I do the elliptical, I usually put on Netflix to give myself something other than a wall to look at.

I love rappers like
Eminem
Jay-z
Dmx
Drake
and pop artist like
Kanye West
Enrique iglesias And
Rihanna pretty much anything that has message that is about pushing forward or how hard core the person is

RockMyRun.com has a bunch of great workout mixes. My go-to mix is "Push the Tempo" by DJ JLouis.

If you make an account, you'll get one free credit a month that is good toward mix downloads!
