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?

@EdgarFitbit you sure are always welcome. 🙂 Try to listen also to One Day as a Lion, new band of Zack Dela Rocha.
@Edgar wrote:@jonmartin No, I haven't heard anything about Brandon Boyd's but I'm going to check some of his songs. Thanks for the recommendation

Oh my! I might need to make a couple dozen playlists out of this thread lol
Currently on my playlist, also a TON of latin music (I blame Zumba), but the ones that are not and get me to move are:
Gold - Adventure Club feat Yuna
Move it - Mastiksoul
Jenny - Studio Killers

Hello everyone! Just opened my fitbit account to help me get rid of a few pounds i'm not confortable carrying around...
Music is the best motivation 🙂 Great songs in this forum!
I think that my cardio 'power song' would be Duality by Slipknot, also I Was Made for Loving You by KISS which always ends up in me dancing around the park instead of increasing my running pace hehe and Bon Jovi and Motley Crue are always on my gym playlists.

@sadieglitter That KISS song is awesome! Well, if you end up dancing that is a great workout too, burns lots of calories, so keep on doing it.
Lovely picture by the way. Keep up the good work!

I love to start every workout with You Lift Me Up by Mikey Wax. It puts me in the right frame of mind for enjoying every workout.

Another one I like is Pearl Jam Rear View Mirror. I use it when I'm boxing. The song lyrics are pretty cool, you can craft it anyway you like but I like to think of it as something was holding me back, and we've made a decision to fight it off and move on. For me that was fat on my belly... I also like the riff at the end which is pretty intense with a big bang on the end, you can do speed to that and then end up with a hard right cross. Easy to box to.

There are many, but I'd add "Marathon" by Rush, especially the chorus.
Lyrics: "From first to last, the peak is never past
Something always fire the light that gets in your eyes.
One moment's high. Then glory rolls on by.
Like a streak of lightning that flashes and fades in the summer sky."
