Let the Music Play...

It's amazing how music can make all the difference while working out.  It motivates to work faster, harder and with more oomph!

But I have noticed that the right music can make all the difference.
  • Song for a happy, early morning work out: 
    • Walking on Sunshine
      • For the most obvious reason, it's happy bouncy song
  • Song for a slow, why am i doing this? kind of morning work out: 
    • Wake Me Up Inside - Evanescence
      • and if you don't know the lyrics
        • (Wake me up)
        • Wake me up inside
        • (I can't wake up)
        • Call my name and save me from the dark
  • For when you are in the cardio area that overlooks the weight room
    • I'll Be Watching You - Sting
  • From when you are in the weight room
    • I Always Feel Like Somebody Watching Me - Rockwell
    • or conversely
      • 16 Tons
        • and the lyrics for those unfamiliar
          • 16 tons, whatdoya get? 
          • Another day older and deeper in debt
  • Jumping Jacks 
    • JumpJump - KrissKross
      • DaddyMac will make you jump, jump!
  • For those longer runs
    • Going the distance - Cake
      • He's going the distance!
      • He's going for speed!

  • Stretching after a run
    • I Wish - Skee-Lo
      • I wish i was a little bit taller
      • I wish i was a baller
  • Yoga
    • Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin
      • Trust me, it gets you all flexible

Feel free to add to this list!

  1. Rocky theme (Eye of the Tiger) always gets me going :) Similarly, the Footloose theme and also "Holding out for a Hero" also from Footloose.
