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?

[First off, grammar nazis, wherever you are, just don't...]

I actually just joined in a Scholarship Program/Peagent, whatever you want to call it, and our fitness song is Feel this Moment by Christina Aguilera and Pitbull. I am IN LOVE with it.

Usually to get motivated during high intensity, I stick to Alternative Rock, or Metal. [I look like a Barbie, but I can be surprising haha...] [Ghost town [dubstep meets alternative], Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Three Days Grace, BVB, Breaking Benjamin, Asking Alexandria And a few scremos.]

When I have the patience to even DEAL with yoga, I'd say some type of sexy music. I love Knock on Wood sung by Jesse J--it's an old classic but she does a great version! Definently look it up! Seriously.

When I do belly dancing, I try to stick to music that has a good beat and is sexy. Something fast.

With ballet, I stick to classical and opera--I love opera because I sing it. Beautiful pieces Anna Netrebko sings...love her Lakme` duet.

Sorry I'm not good with specific songs!

Good luck everyone with reaching your fitness goals!

Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar. @__@ If it comes on while I'm running, that's it

[Jaymes]

The Theme Song from the Movie "Chariots of Fire."

It works everytime.  

Try it the next time you need motivated.

@andimms Dreams of living life like rappers do.. Bump that new E-40 after school... Such a great pump up song. GKMC was easily the album of 2012 for me, and 2013 because it came out so late.

Oldie but a goodie,  Whatever Gets You Through the Night by John Lennon.

Thanks for all the other suggestions.

[Mcore]

I appreciate you sharing your favorite songs @charliejnr1! Keep on steppin'. 

[bdaniels04]

For me, it's anything rock or heavy metal. Especially Disturbed, Mudvayne, Shinedown, Evanescence, Rob Zombie, Linkin Park, Otherwise, Fall Out Boy, Papa Roach, Theory of a Deadman, etc. They are what drive me when I need that extra motivation.

[Mcore]

That's awesome @bdaniels04! I think that you might have the same taste in music as my husband. He love a band called Karnivool, have you heard of it?

[HelenaFitbit]

Your playlist is epic @bdaniels04 ! I thought I was the only one listening to Disturbed 

[bdaniels04]

I have heard of them and heard their music but I have to admit that so far, it's not resonated with me but I know others who love the band 🙂

[bdaniels04]

@helenarriaza, you aren't the only one! I usually have some Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace, Lacuna Cool, and others thrown in as well!

[bdaniels04]

@Melissa, I've heard of them, and gave gears their music, but it hasn't resonated with yet, but I know others who love them:)

[Mcore]

@bdaniels04 I see. Yeah, he has a couple of friends that listen to them as well.

Well, if you have any other music recommendations for all of us, feel free to add them. 

[HelenaFitbit]

Lacuna Coil! Their version of Enjoy the Silence is lovely.
