What Are Your Favorite Excercise Songs?



Recommended Posts

I thought I would start a thread to ask for suggestions. This may not be the "Exercise Forum", but this forum gets more activity, so I cheated! LOL

I want to load up my Ipod with songs that are fast, upbeat, happy...for when I start excercising.

What are your favorite songs for exercising (sp)? I want to get lost in the music and just GO!

Thanks, folks! Stef

I love to run to (in no order of preference)

Screaming Jets, Better

Urge Overkill (anything by them, but Sister Havana is a fave)

The White Stripes, 7 Nation Army

Anything by the RHCP

Sugar Hill Gang, Rappers Delight

Some Led Zepplin

Madonna, Hung Up

Rage Against The Machine, Killing in the name of

Pink Flyod, Another Brick in the wall

KT Tunstall, Suddenly I see

Gnarls Barkley, Crazy, and Go Go Gadget Gospel

And some Janis Joplin, Dave Dobbin, and Stone Temple Pilots to cool down to.

There is a lot more than that on my iPod, but they are a few that I love.

Eye of the Tiger

We Used to Be Friends

Suddenly I See

Wild Boys

We Got the Beat

Maniac

I Wanna Be Sedated

There was a thread like this in the exercise forum several months ago that you might want to search for. I'm with you though -- the more traffic on this the better. New songs to workout to really make a difference to me!

I found the perfect search and got a HUGE return when I used my Limewire account. I will post the list this evening. It's a pretty long list! (Some of the one's listed here already are on it, too.)

I know that most of the time, even if you like a song and it's a slower song (ballad) that you can find a remix of it on a download sight. For example, I like Kelly Clarksons 'Because of you' and I found a great remix to walk to and put it on my MP3. It's fast, and upbeat, and gets my pace up. Just a suggestion to look for these when you dowlnload music.

Last December I went to see George Michale in conert, I wasn't a particular fan of his but I have to say he was AMAZING!!!!!!!! I went home and down loaded all his songs onto my Ipod. I love going for a strong walk in a quiet forest near me, I sing out so loud and don't give a dam!!!!!! I actually think I'm on stage with him......

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
