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?

I have a mishmash of songs on my playlist.  Here are some random selections, in no particular order (sorry for any dups!):

 

AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Gavin DeGraw - Fire

Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling

Mark Ronson ft. Jeff Bhasker - In Case of Fire

Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood

Muse - Uprising

Panic! at the Disco - Victorious

Pentatonix - Sing

Van Halen - Runnin' with the Devil

 

And if you need a laugh, some silly motivation to keep getting up again, or inspiration for not giving up, check out "Get Back Up Again" from the Trolls Movie.

 

Cheers! 🙂

When I was on an extended hike on the Appalachian Trail, I had a few...

 

Gonna Fly Now & Going The Distance - Nothing like these to get your moving up a mountain, especially coming up to the summit.

 

Fight Song - Pretty much the whole song

 

Let It Go (From Frozen) - The phrase "It's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through" fit for me at the time since it was my first LASH (Long **ahem** Section Hike) on the AT.
