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?

[HelenaFitbit]

Wow @TwylaHearArt I love PATD too! I'm more a fan of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out; can you believe it was released 10 years ago?

It depends on what I am doing (weights/running/walking), but I get amped up with

• Zone Out by KB
• You Can't Stop Me by Andy Mineo
• Twisted by Trip Lee
• Come Alive by 116 clique

[KarthikPH]

I prefer soundtracks...Man of Steel is my favourite...

[AliceL]

Chromeo- Come Alive gets me moving every time.  It has an awesome beat, and if I watch the video I REALLY get moving! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BurNCK5Pc8

[HelenaFitbit]

I am obsessed with this song!

[Alexanderbitfit]

I like a mixed bag: Journey- Seperate ways, Nero - Doomsday, Killer Mike -Ready Set Go, Teninoru-The Machines - Dope! (Dubstep)

[lgarrett]

I love anything country, but my favorite motivational song is Country Nation by Brad Paisley!!

ROLL TIDE!!!

[Archangel76]

I don't think there is such a thing as any "one" song that gets me going. I have a bit of an extensive playlist ranging from T.U.R.T.L.E. Power (Yes, old school here) to Scott and Brendo's Jump. I also play a bit of Lindsey Stirling while in the gym.

For me, it's about any song that gets me moving - even if it's at my desk. A quick beat and a complex melody is what gets my feet moving in most cases. I also have an affinity towards movie themes. And yes, Mozart can get the blood flowing with some Dies Irae - although I envision Night Crawler's assault on the White House in X2. 🙂

Hello @Archangel76! Thanks for sharing those cool songs. Hey Lindsay is the best! This is my favorite one of her!

See you around and Happy new year!

[Archangel76]

Hello @SolangeE

Yeah, Crystallize is one of my favorites too. Another one I like is the Phantom of the Opera medley.

I got to see Lindsey Stirling at Redrocks this past year - and it was amazing. This was before I got my Fitbit - which would have been amazing for steps when climbing up and down the mountain side for the concert. 

Another song that has been stuck in my head lately is Knock the Dominoes...

I like to work out to "Grand Funk Railroad". Especially "Nothing is the same", on "Closer to home".

[MikiSpeed]

Me too- Megadeth "Rist in Peace" album- Maiden is good, as is Pantera, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine.

But I can veer to funk and even pop at times. Sometimes Depeche Mode when I'm "broody", LOL!

[Timax56]

I think that when you are in the gym or doing anything that is going to require you to push yourself hard then you have to get into the zone, i find that having good long playing trance or Techno helps me to acheive this. Usually i wouldn't listen to this but i do think that it works for strenuous exercise

Sandstorm (Darude)

Insomnia (Faithless)

Hindsight (Audien)

Digeridoo (Aphex Twin)

Intense (Armin Van Buuren)

[lablover55]

Raise your glass by Pink..Psycho Killer by Talking Heads..Reign on me by the Who are some of the few..

[landrywifey]

this is a weird one but hey its fitting lol

Shake it for me by Luke Bryan. Pretty much any Luke Bryan motivates me -they are for most part faster beats and dancing songs

[Blackdevil]

So many to chose from so I just grabbed some off my current running playlist:
Radio-Santigold
Dead Bodies Everywhere-Korn
Started from the bottom-Drake
Burial-Yogi&skrillex
Break the Rules-Charli XCX

[Tala]

I love Pitbull.  My workout playlist has a variety:  Ariana Grande, Black Eyed Peas, Flo Rida, Maroon 5.

[Brittsbit]

Nero's "Doomsday" is the song that I just run as fast as I possibly can.

[SolangeE]

Hello guys!  @Archangel76 Really? I would love to go to one of her concerts! hahahaha sounds like a fun experience. Hey, nice one! I've never heard it before, thanks for sharing!  

 Good ones,@Chaste! I think my workout song for them would be the loco-motion!

Hey, those are some great bands, @MikiSpeed! And yeah, depending on the mood you tend to listen to different type of music and it is really nice to have a little bit of everything in your playlist. I like to do squats with this song!   

@Timax56, yes this songs motive me too,  when I'm doing cardio! 

@lablover55, Pink is awesome! And her body, inspires me to be like that some day! 

@landrywifey, definitely fitting! 

@Blackdevil, great playlists for running indeed, specially Burial! 

@Tala, good ones! It's a shame that Marron 5 and Black Eyed Peas are not the same as they were before. I liked them better like 10 years ago, specially Where Is The Love. Isn't it a great song? 

@Brittsbit, great beats for running fast! I personally like this one for running or cardio. Makes me feel relaxed but focused.

[Blackdevil]

It's not a song but if you distance run these are great to listen to, motivates me like crazy and helps me self reflect in the process: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BROJYb0X_N4
