Hey guys,
So im making a playlist for my MP3 player, but I am sick of all the songs ive been listening to...

I was wondering what songs motivate you, as they may be just what I need to get me going.....

Im looking for some fast-paced songs that make you feel invincible.....or maybe make you feel like running instead of walking for the next 2 blocks, that works too.

If you have any good ideas, let me know! any help will most definately be appreciated, as I think the lack of stimulating music is the missing link to keeping high motivation.

Thank you much and best of luck to you all!! :flowerforyou:
~Cassie

    I actually listen to old late 80's early 90's house music...Fast Eddie, Mr Lee....fast beats help me keep up with my walking. Sounds kinda funny for a 40+ yr old woman to lsiten to these songs..but they definitely keep me moving.

    Atreyu really gets me pumped up. But anything loud (and usually angry) will do most of the time.
