:smile: :flowerforyou:

I was hoping to get some music suggestions for my work outs. Music can be so motivational!
I am open to a wide range of music, as long as it's upbeat and gets me moving!

So what are some of your favorites?

    A few that I like are:

    Let's Go - Calvin Harris featuring Ne-Yo
    Scream - Usher
    More - Usher
    Firework - Katy Perry
    Scream and Shout - Britney Spears and Will I Am

    anything loud with a fast beat - very different than my Lite Rock stations in the car....

    For exercising to, almost anything upbeat and especially songs with motivational lyrics, those get me moving better.

    Lately I've been listening to hatebreed during my more intense workouts. It's metal but the perseverance album is very motivational, especially their title song "perseverance". Awesome stuff

    I like that this thread's musical variety isn't just metal...so many of the other threads are I love upbeat techno or latin flavor music that makes you want to dance or bust ur *kitten* on the eliptical!!!

    Calvin Harris- Summer
    Britney Spears- Work B*tch
    Eminem- Lose Yourself
    Kat DeLuna- Whine Up

    Black Stone Cherry - (anything by them)
    Linkin Park - (anything...)
    The Pretty Reckless - (Going to Hell)
    3 Doors Down - (earlier albums - any songs)
    Royal Blood - Little Monster

    Pretty much any rock / metal I guess.

    Also loving "The Motivational Man" on youtube / sound cloud. He does 45ish minute mixes across loads of genres. Well worth checking out for non-stop mixes.

    Also - the House mix workout on Spotify. Some awesome beats on there to pound the trainers too.

    Try Workout Mixes by Steady130 at www.steadymixes.com. I got tired of trying to constantly update my workout playlists and now these mixes are the only things I listen to when working out. They're sorted by genre or tempo, depending on what you want!

    There's an app that will give you music suggestions based on your heart rate and rate of speed, I don't have it on me but google it!...One song that always gets me moving is "Shake Senora" by Pitbull!
