Motivational Music

[nkohli]

Hi All

I am hoping this thread will encourage many responses. We all know that exercise is half of the program when it comes to weight loss (or maybe 1/3rd- another 1/3rd being diet and another 1/3rd being motivation!). If I am exercising, I like listening to some motivational music on my ipod. I even listen to this before I go into a meeting, or if I have a big day ahead of me.

Does anyone else do this too?

I thought we could make a list of motivational/pumping music that we find works for us. Here's some to get us started:

• Deeper Water by Dead Star
• Pump It by Black Eyed Peas
• Beautiful Day by U2
• But I Feel Good by Groove Armada
• Hey Boy Hey Girl by Chemical Brothers
• Romeo by Basement Jaxx
• Song 2 by Blur
• 69 Police by David Holmes
• 4 My People by Missy Elliott
• Gonna Make You Sweat by C&C Music Factory
• Get Ready for This by 2 Unlimited
• Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves

BRING IT ON! YYYEEEAAAHHHH!!!

Great idea - great thread. I am going to be sure to download these songs - I do not have an iPod but I will be getting something so that I can listen while I walk. I can always just use a cd while working out @ home. Thanks for this thread...I will think of some songs that get me moving and post them.

Great idea! My IPod has over 800 songs on it so I cant list them all here. Soooo, you guys can PM me with who you like and I can try and come up with a "personalized soundtrack" for your workouts. (I even have the "embarrassing artists" too), so dont be afraid to ask for somebody. A great soundtrack makes all the difference.

Happy Sweating!

I am going to have my husband download all of these and make a cd...thanks for this thread. I usually don't listen to music while I workout - I think these will keep me in step and not be thinking of what I am doing.
