in Fitness and Exercise
Hey all,

Need some new workout & inspirational music. I find that posting SPECIFIC SONGS on here is better than just throwing out band names. Hope to find some good walking/jogging music as I pick up exercising again. Inspirational music can be music that doesn't necessarily have a good workout beat, but something that moves you to change your life in a positive way.

Inspirational: "The Greatest" by: R. Kelly // "A Change Is Gonna Come" by: Sam Cooke // "This Is Your Life" by: Switchfoot

Workout: "Too Close" by: Alex Clare // "It's Time" by: Imagine Dragons // "Some Nights" by: Fun. // "The Proof of Your Love" by: For King & Country // "Shake It Out" by: Florence + The Machine // "Cinema" by: Skrillex // "Mountains" by: Biffy Clyro

    I like the old school stuff...
    Eye of the Tiger, by Survivor. The best!
    And then there's Roll with the Changes, by REO Speedwagon.

    Other favorites are:
    Stinkfist-Tool
    Awake and Alive-Skillet
    Bully-Shinedown
    Shipping up to Boston-Dropkick Murphys
    I never wanted- As I lay Dying
    Indestructible- Disturbed(really good once you get past all the soundfx at first)

    Partial to faster Christian Rock when I'm working out ... next to my faith, I connect to music strongly, so I find that intensely motivating when exercising! :) ... keeps me going that extra mile (literally, lol) ...

    I went for some upbeat stuff today while I was working out. Treadmill jogging is so much better to the rhythm of "Wake me up before you go-go" by Wham!

    :happy:

    "No Boundaries" by Adam Lambert and "Firework" by Katy Perry. They both have me going if I use them as the last songs in a workout.
