What's the one song that motivates you?

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?

hey, @Piggy! Classical is what I always listen when doing numeric homework or studying. I feel it makes me smarter hahaha! Cat Tongue 

 

Metallica is always a good option and that is a very cool song even if you don't have stripper girlfriendRobot LOL ! I didn't like Justing Bieber at all but his new songs are not that bad I guess, it doesn't matter if it makes you run faster haha.

Of course, I was only joking:) I know nothing of beiber. I listen to symphonic metal for the most part. Having a sub genre that crosses classical and metal saves me the trouble of switching. Metallica with san fran orchestra feels a bit like bolt on. Its better to have songs composed perfectly from the scratch. But when it comes to motivation there is also let the bodies hit the floor by drowning pool:)

Demi Lovato in "Heart Attack". This is from a 66 year old who has had 2 MI's and two bypasses. You must have a sense of humor. Seriously, one artist I listen to lifting is Ellie Holding.

"Anaconda" by Nikki Minaj...everytime I listen to it, I'm reminded what I don't want to have happen to my behind.

Best Answer

I loved to listen to music when I exercised.  I used to run to Jaci Velasquez, Heavenly Place it had a good beat and awesome lyrics and inspired me to run.  Now I exercise to the music on the exercise videos I am doing. It felt awesome getting my grove back and exercising again. I'm so much older now and can no longer run.

 

Be inspired.  Try the album and you will see it will inspire you too.  Maybe not, but it won't hurt to try it.

Awesome suggestions everybody, the one song that's been stick on my head for days now is DNCE's Cake by the Ocean, it's very catchy and a great song for the workout playlist.  Radio stations are great as well, you find a lot of great music you would'nt even hear otherwise. Smiley Happy
