:love: Hi All,
I was just wondering what songs you all like that pump you up and get you motivated to exercise....
At the moment it's eye of the tiger for me, I love upbeat music that makes me want to move..
I look forward to seeing what you all like x

    Dubstep and Mashup as genres work pretty well for me, and like you I really enjoy upbeat music...some of my best workout songs include:

    Linkin Park - Reanimation (Whole Album)
    Verve Remixed (Whole Album)
    The Prodigy - Fat of the Land (Whole Album)

    Metric - Synthetica, and Youth Without Youth
    Incubus - Stellar, Wish You Were Here

    I like to create huge playlists with upbeat songs with a mellower song thrown in every 3 or 5.

    Best of luck with your fitness goals, stick with it!

    Eminem-Collapse
    LMFAO-Sexy and I Know it
    Fort Minor-Remember the Name
    Lady Gaga-Born This Way
    Eminem-Lighters
    Kanye West-Stronger
    Eminem-Not Afraid
    Keri Hilson-Pretty Girl Rock

    These songs give me the motivation to work out, the first song is my favorite. Some of it is newer stuff and mostly rap, pop or hip hop :)

    Lady Gaga, 3oh!3, Mammia Mia (Abba), basically anything with a quick beat. I love country but it doesn't do the trick.

    Eh... I'm not quite the same as anyone on here but my motivational playlist consists of the soundtrack to Rocky, Top Gun, Scarface, and St. Elmo's Fire. A bit like OP :D

    Push It To The Limit - from Scarface
    St. Elmo's Fire
    The Final Countdown - Europe
    Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor
    Playing With The Boys - from Top Gun
    Danger Zone - from Top Gun
    ^also from Kenny Loggins, Footloose.

    Other songs include:
    Bright Lights by Matchbox 20
    Shadows, the dubstep remix, by Lindsey Stirling.
    Run - Snow Patrol
    Run - Collective Soul

    I think my motivational music plays far more toward my emotional influence than my physical or mental, which is why I always seem to attract songs like this.
