I need to lose some serious weight, and my one friend went from barely walking to running almost 4 miles in 3 weeks. I am going to try to catch up to that so we can go together and the kids can ride bikes (and not have to stop to wati for me to catch up.) What are some good sons to put on my IPOD? I need really good workout songs that are updeat and fun so I can push myself to "just make it through this song". Thanks!!!
Anything by Daft Punk! aerodynamic, harder better faster stronger, one more time, crescendolls, digital love......Human after all, the whole interstella soundtrack i work out to and i love it
I was CHUNKY and able to do an 8k weeks after this. Fall to Pieces-Velvet Revolver, Sour Cherry-The Kills, Top of the World-Pussycat Dolls, My Favorite Game-The Cardigans, Harmonium-Rogue Wave, Ramalama (Bang Bang)-Roisin Murphy, Be the One and That's Not My Name-The Ting Tings, Gangsters and Thugs-Transplants, I Got a Girl-Tripping Daisy, The Seether-Veruca Salt, My Names is Jonas-Weezer, The Promise- When in Rome, Fell in Love With a Girl-The White Stripes, Call of the Wrecking Ball-X, Do you Right-311, I'll send the rest in a message for the rest.
I love working out to fast paced songs. Here are some of my favorites: Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Black-eyed Peas. You can go to i-tunes and preview the songs for 20 seconds. Good luck with your running. I am signing up to run a 5k in September.
Great song suggestions so far! If you want to start running- check out Couchto5K online. You can download it for a few bucks onto your ipod (it's a running "program"- not music) and it's a GREAT way to get back into running again!!! I used to run before having my daughter a year ago, and just started up again 6 weeks ago following Couchto5K. It's awesome!!!! And you can use it while playing your favorite playlist too!
Hi R.!
I think good fast songs make a huge difference in my ability to work out harder and longer. Here are some of my favorites! Good luck!!! : )
Sexyback - Justin Timberlake
California Gurls - Katy Perry
Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz
In My Head - Jason Derulo
I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas
Tik Tok - Kesha
Fire Burning by Sean Kingston
Bulletproof by La Roux
Anything Lady Gaga
These are all favorites on mine for punching up the engery.
Booty music! Some 80's music too, like Pat Benatar, Heart. Some Journey, Queen, etc
First of all, great name. You can be the west coast R. D, I'll be the east coast R. D... we kind of rock ;) ANYWAY, I love MUSE... not because of Twilight!!! Their music really gets me pumped up for some reason. I always listen to it before job interviews and stuff, and when I run. 'Butterflies and Hurricaines' is a personal fave ;) It's definately got a good pulse to run by! Have fun! :)
You have some good ideas already....but I love working out to Paula Abdul!
I listen to all the same songs people have posted (LOVE Lady Ga Ga for running!!!) But here is my tip to become a runner - what worked for me anyway. On a treadmill I would run for 3 minutes walk for 2 (repeat for 30 minutes) Gradually increase (run 4, walk 2 - run 8, walk 2 - you get the idea) If you're outside sometimes I play little "games" with myself to get through it, like run one song, walk one song - then increase it to run 2 songs, walk one song, etc. I used to be a terrible runner, but within about a month or so I could run 30 minutes without walking. Good luck to you :)
No matter what your age, I think you will enjoy working out to:
The Village People
(especially the song YMCA!) It's really fun.
Blessings.....
Depends on your taste. My current favorite is Lady Gaga for workouts. Try working out to "Telephone!"
I don't even like country music but I love the song "Independence Day" by Martina McBride when I work out. It's a pro-woman, butt kicking song!!!
