I'm not looking for playlist suggestions of pumpin' choons to get your feet moving faster. Instead, what's the one track on your workout playlist that you turn to for inspiration when you're finding it really tough going?

Mine is "Ain't got no/I got life" by Nina Simone. Starts off mellow, ends up sweeping, and the stunningly simple lyrics are a reminder that whatever you're lacking you have exactly everything you need right here, right now. It's also the classiest song you'll ever hear with the word "boobs" in it :laugh:

Works equally as well for life as it does for workouts.

Thanks Nina :flowerforyou:

    Adrenalize by In This Moment. It really gets the blood moving! I almost feel like a superhero while I'm running. It always gets me through a tough stretch.

    I have been listening to Fatboy Slim's greatest hits during my dreadmill runs, and i think my fav for motivational is a toss up between "Praise You" and "Right here, Right now". They always push me to keep going & going.

    When I go walking my favorite track is Walking by Mary Mary! This song is letting me know that God is walking with me! He is walking every step of the way and keep walking! Without Him I can do nothing! With God all things are possible!

    Bumping this topic so I can find out about some new music!

    "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson is at the top of my list right now...even though I don't listen to a lot of "pop" music I really love that song.

    Since April 2012 it's "Dancing Queen" by Abba. It was playing on the loudspeakers as I got to Buckingham Palace & approached the last 385 yards banner at the VLM last year!! Now I find it spurs me on when I am flagging!! Although I have to sing it as I don't run with music!!! :wink:

    Alestorm's cover of You Are A Pirate always makes me smile, and that's helped me break through the "wall" more than a couple of times. Also, Dragonforce. I don't care what I'm doing, when Through the Fire and Flames comes on, beast mode is engaged and it don't stop for the next seven minutes.
