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?

Oddly enough (or not) I have found that when I walk inside my place here Vivaldi's "Gloria" inspres and enervates me.  I don't know how I came to this conclusion but I alway have it on.  All the way through, then going back to play just the rousing first part gets me almost a half mile of walking.  Put that in YouTube and see you you don't agree. 

For one short piece it would be Credence's "Lookin' Out My Back Door".

Wow I got a bunch but the three that come to mind:

Best Day of My Life - American Authors

Road Less Traveled by Lauren Alaina

I Run for Life - Melissa Etheridge

I gonna have to look back adn see other ideas from you all!

[Markgetfit]

That's crazy.  I've listened to four of the songs you've mentioned--today.

[AvyGyaru]

Don't laugh, but "What Does the Fox Say" By Ylvis is my perfect walk-run song. It's the first one on my playlist for Zombies Run 5k (a couch to 5k app). 

[AdiposeOpposed]

I know I'm weird but my absolute favorite music to run to is Mozart's Requiem in D Minor. I don't know how I stumbled on this, but it motivates me more than any rock or pop song I've tried. 

[T-Money34]

The song that I've been listending too right now that when it comes on I just push through it is "Where Ya At" by Future!

[lilt1841]

I like Taylor Swift's Shake it off and Bad Blood.

Anything by Reba

And Rachel Platten's Fight Song.

[MendedHeart]

Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, Fifth Harmony, and Linkin Park.

[G-Whit]

Sia - Chandelier
N-Trance - Set You Free
Voo-Doo & Serano - Overload

[AnnieFitbit]

Wow, if I listed all the songs that motivate me, I would never end!

But I think I can pick a couple, which could be "Blood, Sweat & Tears" by BTS, "Powerlines" by Lindsey Stirling, "Taking Off" by ONE OK ROCK and "Greedy" by Ariana Grande.  

Those are definitely my favorites currently! They might change in about a month. 

[MarcoGFitbit]

Anything by Royksopp to me please!  , specially their "Senior" album. The melodies are calm but the beat is awesome!  

[FreyasGram]

PitBull's Celebrate

Bruno Mars'   Uptown Funk

                        Runaway Baby

Ted Nugent's    Wango Tango

[Jaymes]

​H​illsong's A Street Called Mercy

[TanithSeh1011]

Not so much a song but these two videos really get to me.

Rise and Shine! My favorite general workout motivation https://youtu.be/SuPLxQD4akQ 

Everything is Kung Fu! I have been a Kung Fu practicioner for 11 years now (wow) and while I prefer the older Karate Kid movies I love this scene from the remake. https://youtu.be/vlrC7Ue_VxY 

Happy workouts!!!

Stayin' Alive!

[edkiwi]

DJ Khaled - All I do is win

[MendedHeart]

Linkin Park "In The End"

[SeaDragon17]

"The Runner," by Manfred Mann's Earth Band ("Out of Afrika" album. Circa 1983). Lyrics can be found at LyricsFreak. It's always been my go-to song for motivation before a race, or whenever I'm feeling a bit burned-out from training. While the video is dated, I think you'll get the idea... 🙂

I also listen to "Blue Collar," by Bachman Turner Overdrive (AKA; "BTO"), during the quiet solitude of early morning runs (e.g.; 3:45 a.m.). It's got a soft, slightly jazzy beat. Helps me to maintain an even, relaxed, and steady pace long before the sun rises.

Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas ... I have claimed this as my theme song. Just love the power behind that tune.
