Using Music to Motivate Yourself to Push Harder, Supra Cuban
Some days it takes a lot to get motivated, especially for working out. I have found that a little music is just the kick I need to get moving towards fitness. Who doesn’t get a tad nostalgic at hearing an old song from your high school days, or bat away a tear when the Righteous Brothers come on and play that old song from the movie Ghost, Supra Vaiders, and there is no one in the world who has seen Rocky that doesn’t want to charge the steps of The Philadelphia Museum of Art when hearing the Rocky theme song, Supra Cruizer, Gonna Fly Now.
Music And Motivation
Music and Motivation go hand in hand as far as I am concerned, and when it comes to getting in shape we can all use that extra push, especially for fitness when the weather is not always on our side for getting outside. Music distracts you and takes your mind off the fact that you are exercising. It’ll distract you and can make your workout fly by a little faster. It’s a good idea to pick out songs you can sing to so you are focusing on the music and not the exercise...or belting them out loud if you prefer while accomplishing your fitness goals.
Here are a few of my personal suggestions:
- Gonna Make You Sweat - C&C Music Factory
- Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
- Survivor - Destiny's Child
- 4 Minutes - Madonna
- Thunderstruck - AC/DC
- Lose Yourself - Eminem (I prefer the Edited Version)
- Let's Get it Started - The Black Eyed Peas
- The Power - Snap
- Hey Ya - Outkast
- Maneater - Nelly Furtado
Movie Music
Also, while working towards your fitness goals try getting pumped up by the music of movies such as Vision Quest which has great songs such as Only the Young by Journey, or Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider. Or bust a move to I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers from the movie Benny and Joon.
