Lyric Inspiration

Fast paced songs with inspirational lyrics get me moving at the gym. Following the lyrics of songs distracts me and gives me something to focus on, which makes the workout pass go quickly. We all know that going to the gym is difficult enough so it's important to do something to get you pumped while you're there. Music really gets me moving while working out. I like to listen to hip hop music or other fast paced songs. Specifically songs with lyrics that are inspirational to push me even harder. Following along with the lyrics distracts me and gives me something to focus on, which makes the workout pass quickly. Try listening to the radio and write down any song that gets your foot taping. Then download that song so you can rock out at the gym later!

I love listening to the Pussycat Dolls when I work out - they have some real upbeat songs to get you going and other songs that keep you motivated (like "Dontcha").

I like a mix of hard rock (AC/DC and KISS) with some pop music, usually the remix versions, like Sober and Single Ladies. The lyrics mean less to me than the hard beat. It is the beat that keeps me moving!!!

I use Contemporary Christian music when I walk. It is upbeat and the songs have a beautiful message. It helps to feed the soul while you are working on improving your body.

I use the music to interval train. I up the pace during choruses and up the difficulty with slow music. It totally helps me ignore the pain.
