    Music to motivate you!

    I came home from work on Saturday and my wonderfull husband had been and bought me a treadmill so I can really start exercising. The only problem is that its quite boring just staring at the wall, so I thought id put some get up and go music on my mp3 but my mind has gone totally blank.
    I thought it would be fun to find out what music you guys listen to when your working out, you know feel good get up and go songs?

    I enjoy 80's music as it just makes me want to move. When I get tired & think I can't go anymore a great song will come on & I tell myself to make it through this song.
    Great thread & I look forward to seeing what other people like!

      it has to be pop or dance music say an upbeat Britney spears song or Pussycat dolls, Girls aloud. something you would do your disco dancing too!!!perhaps some 70's 80's disco thrown in!!!

        I am a classic and alternative rock girl. For walking I like Avril LaVigne, JET (their songs all have a great beat), Snow Patrol, Foo Fighters, also Rolling Stones, Oasis has some great songs. And for something totally different, Sway by Michael Buble and Smooth by Santana always invigorate me. There are free beat analysers online that will tell you how many beats per minute so you can customize your choices to match your walking/running speed. I love this feature for workouts!

        GOAL ONE 228         (take 2)
        GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
        GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
        FINAL GOAL 165

         It's not about the results. Its about the process.

          Im sure ive got some 80s compilation cds somewhere. Think ile hunt them out later. Will see DS when he gets home from school as he is into dance music, although he will roll around laughing at the idea of mum listening to it. (hes at that age where everything is either cool or uncool and even at 30 and with what I thought a young attitude I fall well and truly into the uncool category lol)

              Those are the song titles. You can probably play them on line through Itunes or a radio channel. Sway is old school and smooth has that Latin sexy feel to it.
