Favorite Workout Songs/Good Workout Music?

I like to use music to motivate me to exercise longer and daily. I have a long weight loss journey ahead of me and want to make the ultimate playlist to workout to!
I know this has probably been asked before, but please help me out!
I'll take any genre and from any time period of music!
Thanks. :smile:

    Have you ever heard of Cross Canadian Ragweed. They are a texas dirt band . A cross between rock and country. They seem to have this beat that makes me walk a little faster and a little farther.
    Check them out

  • The Teddybears are an electro-rap group that are absolutely fantastic for a workout.

    Anything upbeat works a treat!
    Some of my favourites:

    The Wombats - Lets Dance To The Joy Division https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayuooyWPEUc
    Arctic Monkeys - Snap Out Of It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHoSRT2fNME
    MGMT - Time To Pretend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9dSYgd5Elk
    Empire Of The Sun - Alive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPKAwJKGSDc
    Emile Sande - Next To Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nwdjQmc_N8
    The Kooks - You Don't Love Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSLiwzMNIZI

    But any songs from the above artists are good! Pretty much every Wombat song is upbeat :)

    For me, it depends on the workout I'm doing. When I workout hard (I do circuit training and boxing) I prefer rap/pop type music to keep me going. Any song that makes me feel confident, I can work hard. Good luck! :)

    Here are a few songs that I enjoy listening to:

    Stronger- Kanye West
    Run- Flo Rida
    Whine Up- Kat Deluna (feat. Elephant Man)
    Calabria 2008- Enur
    Promiscuous- Nelly Furtado & Timbaland
    Get Buck In Here- DJ Felli Fel (feat. Akon, Lil Jon, Ludacris & Diddy)
    Smack That- Akon
    Cruise- Florida Georgia LIne (feat. Nelly)
    Timber- Pitbull (feat. Ke$ha)
    The Way I Are- Timbaland (feat. Keri Hilson & D.O.E)
    Beware (Jay-Z Remix)- Punjabi MC

    I love listening to video game soundtracks when I work out, or drum and bass. Currently I've been listening to the soundtrack for resogun and it's great!
