I was at the gym earlier and was on the elliptical for the first time. Two minutes in and my legs were SCREAMING! I decided that I was only going to do 5 minutes and then at 4:30, this song came on. I found myself staying on the machine for the rest of the song. Granted, I only did 10 minutes on that machine, but it was twice as long as I had originally said I was going to do. This song is a bit repetitious on the lyrics, but it's got a good beat to walk or run to (or in my case, try to kill yourself on an elliptical to).

I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down

Chorus:
(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
...and I won't back down

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
(I won't back down)
and I won't back down...

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
hey I won't back down
(and I won't back down)
hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down)
hey I will stand my ground
(and I won't back down)
and I won't back down
(I won't back down)
No I won't back down

    Yep great song... great beat. I always find I work out so much better with some kicking tunes on. I always try to pick songs with that kind of beat. Wether new or old they usually have some ripping guitar or awesome drum beats in them with some killer bass thrown in for good measure. Makes it easier to forget how long you've been working out.

    Congrats on the work so far! I love the "Proud" song -- it's the theme song to Biggest Loser. Helps sometimes, don't ya think? Good luck!:smile:

    Great job!!! The elliptical is a great machine...I believe invented by the Spanish Inquisitioners!!!! You found an excellent way to give yourself that extra push!
