LET MUSIC BE A PART OF YOUR WORKOUTS!

Let's be honest, when you get to the gym and realize you forgot your Ipod, suddenly your motivation for getting that workout in, doesn't seem so appealing anymore.  You can't even watch the t.v. on one of the cardio machines! You can't get that EYE OF THE TIGER look!   It's a DRY workout! UGH!

Do you ever notice that when you do bring your music with you, depending on your choice of your playlist,  it can really make or break your workout can't it?!!! It can mole your attitude for your workout can't it?!!!  Oh yes it sure can!   

What's on your Ipod when you workout? What motivates you to pump and move in the gym? If you don't listen to music when you workout and you notice that you just can't motivate yourself, I suggest you get yourself an Ipod or a Zen player, it will make a HUGE difference.

Certain playlists can you assist you in running faster, perfecting your form when lifting and even lifting with more drive and determination! A great playlist can really assist you in that last ounce of energy you need to complete that superset workout!  For instance ladies, if you aren't feeling sexy, make a playlist of the upbeat music that makes you feel sexy. 


Music can elevate positive effects in your workout and it can alleviate negative feelings that you might have had throughout the day.  Music with high tempo beats increases energy in the part of the brain that makes you more excited. 

As a suggestion, here are some of the songs I have on my Zen player that I pump iron too:

  • Sandman - Metallica
  • Lights - Kanye West
  • Push It Remix- Salt n Peppa & Timberland
  • Back In Black - AC/DC
  • Paris - Jay Z / Kanye West
  • Hey Baby - Pitbull
  • Moment For Life - Nicki Minaj
  • Body Movin' - Beasty Boys
  • So What Cha Want - Beasty Boys
  • Somethin' In Your Mouth - Nickleback
  • Pyromania (Rock Of Ages) - Def Leopard
  • Show Me How To Live - Audioslave
  • Sex Type Thing - Stone Temple Pilots
  • Crazy Bitch - Buckcherry
  • Cinema - Skrillex
  • 'Til I Collapse - Eminem
  • Move Yourself - Eminem
  • Revolver - Madonna
  • Pour Some Sugar - Def Leopard
  • Bleed It Out - Lincoln Park
  • Let's Have A Kiki - Remix
  • Indestructible - Disturbed

I could go on and on as I have a ton of music of different types.  When I'm pumping iron I have to say that I hit it hard and when running I seem to run faster and for a longer period of time.  Let music be a motivating tool to assist you in your workouts - IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE!


DON'T FORGET YOUR MOTIVATING TOOL WHEN YOU GO TO THE GYM - DON'T LET THIS BE YOU - AND  DON'T BE
CRYIN' IT THE GYM EITHER! HA HA HA
