I find music to be a great way of motivating me. Which song motivates you the most? Mine is Survivor - Eye of the Tiger :)

    Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive (1977) -- the beat is great for treadmill.

    OK don't laugh!! When I'm doing cardio at the gym and Vanilla Ice- Ice, Ice, Baby comes on I find myself moving a little faster.

    Have both of these in my playlist too. Also like Overcomer by Mandisa and Proud from old Queer as folk series.

    Execute- excision (dubstep)
    I've been doing bo staff, so that song really pumps me up. While I'm running on the treadmill, I'm just thinking of choreography to that song with bo staff martial artists.

    Shinedown-Diamond Eyes
    Stone Sour-Made of Scars
    Requiem For A Dream-Lux Aeterna (or just search requiem for a dream theme song) epic!

    And pretty much a lot of Rocky music- Burning Heart, Gonna Fly Now, Hearts On Fire, No Easy Way Out

    So it's a toss between angry/aggressive sounding music and cheesy 80s :smiley:

    Here are some of my songs followed by the artist and my favorite lyric within. Some may seem dark, and are, but I like how well they convey such human feelings and experiences that I can relate to on some level.

    No Woman, No Cry - Bob Marley: "Everything's gonna be alright."

    Follow Me - Muse: The whole song! But the beginning is great,
    "When darkness falls
    And surrounds you
    When you fall down
    When you're scared
    And you're lost
    Be brave
    I'm coming to hold you now"

    Sober - Pink:
    I'm safe
    Up high
    Nothing can touch me
    But why do I feel this party's over?
    No pain
    Inside
    You're like perfection
    How do I feel this good sober

    Monsters - Lucius: Another whole song beauty...here's the intro:
    I know I'm older
    but there are still monsters in all of my closets
    Sometimes I feed them and some they get bigger than others
    depends on the day
    Sometimes I'll sit on the edge of my bed
    and I'll wait just to see them rear their ugly heads
    Sometimes I just cannot face them

    I'm Loney - White Stripes:
    I go down to the river
    Filled with regret
    I go down and I wonder
    If there was any reason left
    I left just before my lungs could get wet
    I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

    Dynamite - Taio Cruz: Uh...yeah...I cannot sit still when I hear this song:
    I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
    Saying AYO! Gotta let go!
    I wanna celebrate and live my life,
    Saying AYO! Baby, let’s go!

    Rock on, all!

    ~M.C. Turtle

    It depends somewhat on the circumstances:

    Hard run - Runaways, "Cherry Bomb"

    Easy run - Blue Oyster Cult, "Don't Fear the Reaper"

    General badassery - Globus, "Preliator"

    Grading papers - "Stars" from Les Miserables (Have a listen. You'll get it.)

    I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I read "Eye of the Tiger". Who doesn't love cheesy 70s montage music? :P (Don't tell my husband I called them cheesy...) My personal favorite right now is Imagine Dragons-Warriors and also I Fight Dragons - Hero...I also go old school with Drowning Pool-Bodies.

    My choice in music is mainly rock...all kinds of rock...love them drum beats.

    I don't do a song, but a youtube video. I start most mornings with this 4 minutes and 11 seconds:
