What songs get you moving?
For me, I can just turn on the top 40 for running on the treadmill but what about other workouts?

    I know this sounds silly, but because running is still very hard and mentally stressful for me, I have calming music on my iPhone when I run.....I always think it's funny when I'm dying and out of breath and it sings to me, "breathe, just breathe" from the 2am song.

    Anna Nalick...she's an excellent artist!!

    I mostly listen to Chase & Status - Pieces right now, on loop for 45 minutes. When I was first wanting to get motivated I played Switchfoot - Dare You to Move. I've got a hard/fast playlist too, including Cold, Stabbing Westward, Tommy Lee, Seether, Veruca Salt, The White Stripes, Weezer, Flyleaf (anyone who can't get pumped to 'I'm So Sick' is nuts!), Godsmack, Sneaker Pimps, Zero 7, Limp Bizkit, Eminem, Shinedown, Blindside, Theory of a Deadman, Sick Puppies, KIDNEYTHIEVES lol, Nonpoint, and others.

    I personally like anything fast, but a few of them have some pretty good lyrics too!

    Assassin - Muse
    Kemp - Millencolin
    Body Movin' - Beastie Boys
    When Love Takes Over - David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland
    Don't Rain on My Parade - Glee Soundtrack
    Pizza Butt - MC Chris
    Break my Stride - Blue Lagoon
    I Believe I Can Fly - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

    Also, it might seem crazy... but for cardio, when I'm trying to go distance not necessarily speed I've been listening to Harry Potter audiobooks, it's pretty engaging and makes time go by quickly.
