in Motivation and Support
Question for all of you...I am looking for some motivational workout songs. Focusing on lyrics at the moment (so more than just an upbeat rhythm). I am specifically looking for songs that have a message about pushing harder, not giving up, taking control of your life etc...Something with a good message, something that will inspire me to fight when i just want to give up.

I have compiled a short list so far, but can't come up with any more. So thought I would see what other people have found. Thanks!

It's My Life - Bon Jovi
Harder, Better, Faster - Daft Punk
Eye of the Tiger (of course) - Survivor
Awake and Alive - Skillet
I Give It All - Rise Against
Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Remember The Name - Fort Minor
Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) - Kelly Clarkson
Fight to Win – Ceelo Green and Goodie Mob
What I’ve Done – Linkin Park
You Gotta Want It – Jordan Sparks
Never Surrender – Skillet
The Moment of Truth – Survivor
Live to Win – Paul Stanley
Holding Out for a Hero – Bonnie Tyler
Push it to the limit (Scarface) – Paul Engemann

    when i grow up - *****cat dolls. super sexy song!
    and i love fergie's songs e.g fergalicious, party people
    BEP songs such as boom boom pow is also nice and energetic

    my recommendation is that you should listen to a fast paced song that really energizes you up. hehe. but that's me.

    I find that when I am walking, keeping a good pace going is important or I will start to want to quit. Electronica-Techno-club dance music seems to have the driving beats that I need to step up the pace. Right now I am giving Daft Punk a big high five for the 4 mile walk I went on Saturday. Really kept me steppin.
