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?

[Mcore]

I agree! 

[Kurt_Eisler]

there are loads "the one" songs for me if im in an unmotivated mood and i need kickstart its got to be Tiësto - Red Lights,

but if im in that smash the target mood its got to be P!nk - U + Ur Hand

@Kurt_Eisler Tiesto has some awesome songs with the right beats to get you and keep you motivated. Thanks for your share! 

[annika-15]

I recommend getting spotify!! theres perfect playlists for each mood or activity. 
I listen to the workout playlists and they really help in motivation to continue and also I find myself putting in more effort when listening to these songs.

Theres playlists for cardio, dance, house workout, running, power workouts, walking, yoga and even stretching.

Definitely worth checking out.

@annika-15 Sounds pretty good. I'm going to give a try to Spotify 

[SunsetRunner]

Find those kinda songs mysterious and give a special feeling.

[Mcore]

@annika-15 That is a great idea as well. I use Spotify and it does provide great playlists and cool music choices for whatever mood you are in.

Is anyone here listening to Brandon Boyd's new project Sons of the Sea? All of his songs there are very great.

[EdgarFitbit]

@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 

[chbeste]

That is my current favorite as well.  I play it first to get myself going.

When getting a new game, if the intro sounds great, don't start playing until having heard the total song.. the daily yoga app has such a song, keeps me motivated

[Mcore]

I'll make sure to listen Brandon Boyd as well.

For using the Nordic Trak, my favourite albums are from "Animusic". Pieces have different tempos which I find fun and challenging.

I can't listen to anything with lyrics... I start singing LoL! Guess it comes from the days of being a "Hoofer & Tweeter". Even listening to instrumental works, I'll start whistling on occasion.

Also enjoy all of the Big Band & Swing era music. That can help bring a ray of sunshine to brighten my mood when I just don't want to get moving.

[Mcore]

That's true @Telynau! I believe that you can get distracted sometimes with the lyrics when you are working out. 

Thank you for sharing!
