MJ, I have TONS of great workout music and if I am feeling better by the deadline I will make a video but for now let me just give you three simple words that are AMAZING for working out...
For a blood pumping workout I ALWAYS incorp. Proud Mary by Ike & TIna Turner. The beginning is a bit slower so I usually have it second in my line-up to conclude my warm-up. I know it's an older song but it still does the job! For a newer song, When I Grow Up (Pussy Cat Dolls - they are my guilty pleasure), Closer & Miss Independent (Ne-Yo). I also try to add my fav. song into every mix...for me it's Killing Me Softly (The Fugees). I make the connection nec. to keep going. Good luck!!
I've been exercising for a month and am already struggling to keep motivated so I decided to spend my whole weekend looking for dance tracks disguised as workout music in the hope of tricking my endorphins into thinking the gym is a disco with a moving dancefloor (i.e. treadmill) and robot dance partners (cross train machine!). These songs never get old:
Good luck with your exercise and you can do it, stay motivate. I love the idea of pretending the gym is a disco. Moving dancefloor, lol. Great songs. One of my favorite songs is by Gnarls Barkley is Smiley Faces. Thanks for the entry.
Thanks for your sweet words. Remember what Lauryn Hill said: "everyday is another chance to make it right" so if you do find it difficult or lack motivation then don't give up on the fight like Rocky who didn't always feel like the fight but there is always fight in him, even on the way down. I've been fighting for so long now though, sometimes I just want to make peace with who I am right now and lay to rest the person who is inside of me but can't escape. You're adorable btw.
The song that gets me going when i feel like i want to quit. i dont know what it is about the song that just makes me want to keep going i think its the beat. hopefully you like it as much as i do. =]
I completely forgot about Cascada, I love that song. I never heard the Neyo song, but I'm downloading it. Thank you for the entry and suggestions. They're great.
I list to a lot of different music when trying to workout. My favorite song to listen to in that last few minutes is All 4 U by janet. Sorry this isn't a video, I might do onr if I get my nerve up to show myself walking on a video scary thought when it comes to me.
Ok...I so wanted to do a video with the song that gets me going but I don't think it is appropriate, so I am going to tell you in a text. The song that gets me going when I want to give up is "Crazy Bitch" by Buck Cherry.
I like the song! I wasn't sure when I saw the title, but that would get me going. Lol, I can see how it would not be YT appropriate. Thanks for the suggestion.
