When "Eye of the Tiger" comes on your playlist, you always try to run faster or lift heavier. Everybody does it.

    I would stamp on my iPhone until such time as it revert to the usual Foo Fighters centric Gym Playlist...

    I don't even like the song, but yes, it does still manage to get me pumped!

    Not really, because I can't stand the song. If I hear it on the radio, it makes me stop what I'm doing, in order to go and switch stations.

    Only problem is when I'm running down the road.. Doing it myself.

    "DUN
    DUN DUN DUN
    DUN DUN DUN
    DUN DUN
    DUUUNNNNNN"

    YES!! I was always thinking of that song when I was doing C25k. Now I am always running up the flight of stairs to get into the building where I work. I totally feel like Rocky when I get to the top and I'm not totally winded! I want to jump and down with my arms in the air, but instead I just picture it in my head so none of my coworkers will think I'm nuts! :laugh:

    Risin' up!

    Not on my playlist but when I do hear it on the radio I always get a little motivation from it haha. My main kick butt anthem is Nicki MInaj's version of Go Hard. I can't stand Nicki Minaj, but that song has helped me in a ton of ways.

    Some of these comments about not having or not liking the song are making puppies cry.

    I like the 2 songs from Rocky IV better, but that Rocky IV soundtrack is great workout music.

    Have to say I agree with this, plus Rocky IV is my fave film out of them all.

    ^^I like to have mine at a set speed 3 quick paced, 1 medium, 3 quick, 1 slow, 1 medium, 3 quick. it goes back and forth a lot, and allows for me to self pace. and I can always skip when I want to continue going fats

    I have a remixed version on my playlist. But it gives me the same motivation! :smile:
