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

    And then there's Roll with the Changes, by REO Speedwagon.

    Godsmack-Rocky mountain way
    Chevelle-Face to the floor
    Linkin Park-Burn it down

    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:

    The track that really had me going today was The Sunshine Underground by Chemical Brothers. Starts slow, but speeds up and really gets me moving! Also, Girls, No Good, and Everybody In The Place by Prodigy and Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.
