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?

The first song I play when I start my workout is "You Can Do It" by Ice Cube. 

 

I also love "She's a Bad Mama Jama" by Carl Carlton. Because I am. Ha! 

Best Answer

Uptown Funk is a must!

 

And most people laugh, but whenever I hear "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" by the Darkness, I get puuuumped. It makes me want to run a marathon. And I hate running.

One song is a tough one. I'll throw a few out there as others have.

 

-Situation - Yaz

-Pour some sugar on me - Def Leppard

-I want you - Savage Garden

 

Also movie scores. They remind me of the scene in the movie where something epic was taking place.

 

Still, so many great choices. Regardless of the exercise type, music definitely motivates me.

I find Iggy Azalea's album to always motivate me. I personally never found the rapping to be something I'd be interested in but her songs have a nice rhythm and I don't mind the rapping much. If anything the speed is what is always motivating me to walk or run more when listening.

Iggy Azalea is awesome!  Woman Very Happy
