Don't you just LOVE songs that get you pumped? Songs that turn on that "GO GET IT" switch?? Make you walk/run a little faster, Lift a little more....
I'd love to hear what your top three motivational songs are (and if there's a "reason" behind any of them)...perhaps I'll expand my collection!
Ones that have been rocking my steps lately are:

Survivor~Destiny's child
Let's get it started
Gonna make you sweat~c&c Music factory

hehe...try not to laugh too hard, ok??

    Not sure about how inspiring these songs are but they definitely get me in the zone: "Superstition" - Stevie Wonder, "Charity Case" - Gnarls Barkley, and "Electioneering" - Radiohead.

    omg yes! i love listening to music that just makes u pour out sweat more and just when you think you cant keep going here comes that favorite track!
    my current favorites are:
    -How Far We've Come by: Matchbox Twenty
    -Loose Yourself by: Eminem
    -Downfall of Us All by: A Day to Remember

    I love all of these because of their beats and the first one just sounds inspirational to see how far you've pushed yourself.

    Enjoy :)

    Lol, my mp3 player is full of counting crows, train, and a couple 3 doors down songs. I'll admit Train and the Counting Crows really isn't good for pumping you up, but it keeps me entertained. I think I might need to add some "get your butt in gear" tunes though.

    I hear Daft Punk is pretty good get it going music.

    Some of the music that makes me "have to move" often has little to do with the words like in Rhianna's "S & M", (I'm not into S & M but the beat just makes me have to move). Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" is slower but has a major beat to it too.
    The songs that do have to do with the words are the ones like "Sexy Chick" (there's another version/title that isn't rated g). I don't feel like a sexy chick yet but when songs like that come on it makes me look forward to being sexy again. :tongue:

    Loving the different styles...KEEP THEM COMING!!

    Oh, and umm...sorry my initial post sounded like one of those cheesy infomercials for the music sets. "Hi bob" "Hi Jane...remember when we were growing up and were driving to the soda shop?" "I sure do Bob" "Well wouldn't you like to have all of those songs that bring back those good old days ...in one convenient set?" " I sure would Bob" "Well now you can...." Etc.

    Hehe...yeah, sorry bout that! But please don't let that sway you from posting your top PUMP ME UP songs!! :laugh:

    I know it's kind o cheesy, but I like anything by Beyonce, Britney Spears, Fergie, *****cat Dolls...basically any girl/girl group who have super hot bodies, cause it motivates me to push it a little harder in my own workouts! :tongue:
