A great point up came up in my last thread: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/5k-help?replies=15#post-5059476
What song is on your ipod to help get you through your runs? What is your go-to song to make you push yourself? I need all the help I can get!
I don't run, but when I'm on the elliptical, this is the last song I listen to because I'm DYING and it ALWAYS gets me through it. So cheesy but the lyrics help me A LOT. "Till I Collapse" by Eminem
Eminem "Lose Yourself". The PP's suggestion of "Till I Collapse" is another surefire hit.
I listen to several different songs but my absolute FAV song for the gym is "Baby got back"by sir mix a lot :) haha It keeps me pumped.
Stronger by Kelly Clarkson
Gonna Make You Sweat by C & C Music Factory
P.S. Sweat.com usually publishes the top 10 workout songs of the month.
I listen to Funky Town on repeat when I run. I find its rhythm is just perfect for maintaining the right pace (for me) and it's really long so I can listen to it all the way through and then turn around and run back when it starts again.
@autumnlynnhill: Love the tune you suggested too!! Anything hip-hop with a great beat gets me going!
i can't think of any buti just have to say eminem seems to be popular here lol
I like the Wideboys Remix of Keri Hilson's "Energy". It keeps me, well, energized!

I switch songs like crazy. I go through phases of "favorite" jams..Right now it is "Hello" by Christina Milian..Just a good beat!
For those that like to have a music that keeps a good beat for your pace, check out this awesome website!
You just type in your walking/jogging/running pace (per mile) and it will create a list of songs that will keep your pace going! It's a great way to find new running tunes for your playlist!
bookmarking this thread - my gym routine starts when I get back to college, and I need suggestions!
Commenting to save this in hopes that listening to these when I'm not so tired will inspire me to workout.
During the last 5 mins of my elliptical workout, I listen to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica so I don't b*tch-out and quit :) It works!
Right now, it's Matchbox 20s Put Your Hands Up. I love the beat and I love the band, it just makes me smile when it comes on and I know I'm running a little faster because of it.
I like fast paced songs or ones I can sing too when I run. I prefer anything Soca or reggage but it sometimes makes me want to dance instead of run lol
I'm slightly ashamed of this but oh well: Smack My Bitch Up by the Prodigy. The pace is just perfect for my jogging tempo. Other than that, Britney seems to have a lock on my workout music because I think it's still 1999 and I'm in 8th grade rocking out to her.
I love this thread! I like "Lose Yourself" also..it keeps me going.
My other favorite is "Valerie" by Amy Whinehouse/The Zutons but the Glee version is a little peppier (as they are to be), so I like that better for when I'm running. Those little beats start up at the beginning and my feet just want to start moving!
I have a bunch! Lately, I've been skipping through in my workout playlist for:
I need to create a playlist just for running, though, because my general workout list has far too many slower and/or noninspirational songs that I just get zero inspiration from.
"Till I Collapse" by Enimiem (hubby and I both blast this when we work out)
"Ugly" by Bubba Sparxxx (seriously kick-ass)
"Dirt off your shoulder" by Jay-Z (because it makes me feel like a pimp)
I wish I had my iPod with me because I have a 70-song workout playlist but I can't seem to remember any of them right now. Grrr...
@sweetchiquita12: +1 i agree....Destra keeps me pumped :)
My "power song" on my ipod is Eye of the Tiger. I usually turn it on when I'm trying to run up a hill. I hate hills!
I'm a bit off the wall with running music. I like hard rock/industrial/dance music when I run.
- If you're into a little bit of industrial, Combichrist's 'This @$(* Will @$(* You Up'. I actually got the suggestion off of a running board and besides the slightly sexually explicit lyrics, it has an awesome beat.
- Nine Inch Nails! Just Like You Imagined is my tired song. I never, ever stop running during that song. Such an epic buildup. I'm getting chills just thinking about it. Pilgrimage is my hills song. All the gnashing helps me get up those hills!
- If you want to feel a little bit like you ended up in the gayborhood's hottest bar, Industry's Release Me (Peter Rauhofer's Reconstruction) is awesome!
- And believe it or not, Beyonce's 'Diva'. Yes, oh yes. Birthday twin has got nothing on me when I'm running!
I agree with a lot of PPs: "Til I Collapse" "Bleed American" "Stronger"
Here are a few of mine:
"Jump" by Flo Rida and Nelly Fertado
"Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd
"Ass" by Big Sean (dirty)
"Knock Out" by Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj (dirty)
"Teeth" by Lady Gaga. She repeats, "Show me your teeth," and it really makes me dig in, grit my teeth, and push through!
There are some great songs here, I'm adding them to my playlist. Definitely agree with "Stonger" and "Teeth".
It's a bit weird but "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood always keeps me going when I think I'm going to give up, the beat isn't that great for running but it's a song I always put on when I need motivation to do anything. Also -
- "White Wedding" (The Deathstar's version)
- "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga
- "Take It Easy" by The Eagles, love the first line!
- "Firework" by Katy Perry
I can't remember what else is on my playlist, having a brain-frazzle today, I'll have to check when I get home.
I actually just starting using this one as the first song on my playlist. Sail by awolnation. i love it!
I just bought an iPod shuffle for my workouts! Some of my favs are...
Ass-Big Sean (cuz I really need to work on my nonexistent booty)
Aint No Easy Way- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
One Trick Pony- Deadmau5
Kill Everybody- Skrillex (cuz that's how I after 10 minutes on the AMT machine!! LOL)
Hysteria- Muse
Tornado- Little Big Town
Make Me Proud- Drake
My Own Summer- Deftones
I have the most random playlist! i could go on and on!
