in Motivation and Support
What do you have on your MP3 player that helps motivate you and uplift your spirit when you put on your exercise shoes and get moving? James Taylor's 'Your Smiling Face' seems to be my instant pick-me-up right now. I've found that the right selection of tunes can really make or break my workout time.

    I like Indestructible by Disturbed when I'm getting a rhythm going.

    Dark Chest of Wonders by Nightwish

    Nightmare or Gunslinger by Avenged Sevenfold

    Renegade by Daughtry

    Master of Puppets by Metallica (S&M version)

    I listen to a lot of classic rock, P!nk, Abba, Ryan Star, and anything else I own with a driving beat that makes me move. I love James Taylor, but he doesn't motivate me to move.

    Lots of fast-moving pop songs get me going. Basically what you might hear in a club. Dance mixes are even better since they're made to be faster and more energetic.
