My favorites are from the 80s and earlier:
Boston- anything they've ever done
The Cars- just about anything except for Drive, it's a slow dance song
Survivor- you fill in the blank
Van Halen- Jump, Dance The Night Away. It's all good stuff but too much listening at once is like wolfing down a large piece of fudge- too much of a good thing.
Devo- Whip It! (Am I the only person motivated by this?)
Tears for Fears- Shout
Duran Duran- Hungry Like the Wolf
Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy Train
Journey- Don't Stop Believin', Wheel In The Sky
Blondie- Call Me, Heart of Glass, Rapture
Heart- Barracuda, Straight On For You, Magic Man, Crazy On You
Whitesnake- Here I Go Again
Aha- Take On Me
Dexy's Midnight Runners- Come On Eileen
Queen- Another One Bites the Dust, We Are the Champions, etc.
Pat Benatar- Invincible, Heartbreaker, Love is a Battlefield
Patty Smythe- Goodbye To You, Warrior
Bon Jovi- You Give Love a Bad Name, Livin On a Prayer, Runaway
Joan Jett- I Love Rock and Roll
Eurythmics- Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
Bangles- Walk Like an Egyptian
Sugarhill Gang- Apache (Jump On It). If that doesn't motivate you I don't know what will
Eddy Grant- Electric Avenue
Guns n' Roses- Paradise City, Sweet Child O' Mine
Naked Eyes- Always Something There To Remind Me
Bananarama- Cruel Summer
Foreigner- Jukebox Hero, Hot Blooded, Head Games
AC/DC- Back In Black
Asia- Heat Of The Moment
Kansas- Carry On Wayward Son
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers- Runnin' Down a Dream
Enjoy! (I wonder how many calories you can burn doing air guitar?)
Wow! thanks! Haha. I wish it were more calories burned!0 -

This always gets the pedals pumping:
"The Distance"
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance.0 -

I recently started listening to "The Reason" by Hoobastank when I work out. I just imagine that I am singing the lyrics to myself. I imagine it as sort of an apology to my body for being unhealthy all of these years and a promise that I will change. It keeps me motivated.
"I'm not a perfect person. There's many things I wish I didn't do. But I continue learning. I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be, A reason to start over new and the reason is you."0 -
