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?

Guns and Roses - Sweet Child of Mine

AC/DC - Shook me All Night Long

You cannot sit still when these songs come up - they might no inspire so much in the emotional way - but they certainly do in the physical way!

Everyone raised a lot of good songs, but I gotta go with a good Godsmack song.  

• Awake
• Whatever
• Keep Away
• I Stand Alone

If I had the choice of only one song though, it would have to be:

  Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks.

I'd would listen to r&b or dance.

Any specific R&B, @Lozz75! I find that my favorite types of R&B are too slow for working out 😕
