What's the one song that motivates you?

[EmersonFitbit]

I have that one song. You have that one song. We all have that one song. Some people have more than one song (that's okay!). What is the one song that gets you fired up?

For me, if I'm diggin' some alternative, it's Sleigh Bells' "Infinity Guitars." If I need to hear some nice hip-hop to get my workout going, my go-to is Kanye West's "Power."  If I need some EDM in my life, I go with this amended version of Lana Del Ray's "Summertime Sadness." As far as song in movies go, John William's composition of "Battle of the Heroes" does it for me!

As a bonus, my good friend @GraceFitbit reminded me how good the year 2005 was, and went with Beyoncé's Crazy In Love .

Above all else, there is the one song that gets me ready to work hard and reach for the improbable. It is one of the most popular songs in the history of the world, and universally one of the most motivating. I am speaking, of course of Ludwig Van Beethoven's "5th Symphony in C Minor."

Now that you have an idea of what songs get our blood ready to flow and our hearts ready to race, we have to know- what song motivates you?

I have a lot of music to listen to from the new kids of the block to n'sync to the backstreet boys and many more to make me moving in my apple nano

[fitmissjen]

I have a couple that i really like. But my Spotify is pretty chocker!

Disturbed - Down with the sickness

Incubus  - Dig

[DavideFitbit]

Those bands really have some great tracks to keep us moving when exercising @nkotblove.

You can never go wrong with Incubus @fitmissjen, awesome band!  

[EmersonFitbit]

@fitmissjen I have to agree that Spotify's playlists are pretty spot on. I listen to the TGIF one pretty much every Wednesday.

[Mcore]

Spotify is the best! I'm now into listening to some Stevie Wonder. It just cheers me up and makes me feel so good! 

[Flame1]

I'm a metalhead so I love

1. Big Bad Wolf from In this Moment

2. Dangerous by Shamans Harvest

and anything by Shinedown

I can't say there's any one genre I don't like. Just saw "A better place" on Netflix with Glenn Campbell and his musical family yesterday. Such a great musician and beautiful person  - even with Altzheimers! It really moved me.

That's really inspiring @Hanne, thank you for sharing this, great performance.

I agree with the other guys @LeaJ, great selection of songs.

Hey Hey Hey everyone! It is great how music makes you feel so much in every occasion or activity you are doing. Specially while working out, music is essential to have that boost and motivation going through the hole workout session. 

I do have a really big variety of musical tastes and I listen to them depending on what mood I'm on, however the are some exceptions, that can never be left out of the list no matter what genres it is that I'm listening too.  

This exceptions are: 

Red Hot Chilli Peppers-Can't stop

Kid Rock- All summer long

Guns n Roses- Paradise City

I hope we can continue sharing in this awesome board, Have a nice weekend everyone!

@SolangeE

Guns N Roses November Rain is the best video!

[Bobbinyc]

Great ideas here.  Wonderful way to expand my playlist.  I often listen to books while walkin/running on treadmill.  It will be great to hear some new/old songs.

Silence on the mountain motivates me, it is absolutely amazing and fresh air

[Mcore]

Great picture @gjobjo! Where was it taken? What other type of music do you like to listen to while working out?

[EmersonFitbit]

I think that Kanye's instrumentals on Vic Mensa's [very explicit] 'U Mad' provides the insane beat I need to get through the final push on my runs!

This picture was taken in Norway - Bergen, on a mountain called "Smøråsfjellet"
No music, just nature's music 🙂

[Mcore]

Lovely view @gjobjo. Oh, ok. Yes, that is always relaxing, I like it.  

[DavideFitbit]

I do that as well @Bobbinyc, audiobooks work really great for me while working out. I try to mix it up a little, listening to good music a few times. 

@gjobjo, nature sounds are fantastic to relax, it can definitely take the stress away while exercising. 

That's an excellent choice @EmersonFitbit!
