Trust me, using this workout music will benefit your exercising and make it more fun. Read more »

FIGHT WORK OUT SONGS - part four
“Sealings” - Yeah yeah yeahs
I love this band . . . this song’s upbeat chorus provides a great work out. You can use the chorus as for spring or fast intervals, and then slow down for the rest of the song. Read more »

FIGHT WORK OUT SONGS - part three
I love getting absorbed in these songs and pretending I am a character, either famous or just made up in my mind. That imagination serves two purposes: 1) it gives me more encouragement to work harder, 2) it distracts from how tired I am. These songs greatly serve those purposes.

FIGHT WORK OUT SONGS - part two
PRODIGY - I have to dedicate an entire post to them because their songs have helped me push myself since I began working out regularly. My initial introduction to them was from seeing one of their videos in 1997 and I was not interested. But then I saw their songs played in a few Charlie’s Angels movies and I could see how they could help me push myself. I played these and pretended I was a Angel kicking some villain butt and it worked!

GIRL POWER - part three
Back to more great workout songs! I will post some of my favorite warm-up/cool down songs later on, but I think you should find some songs that are really special for you to use. That way you can have something to look forward to! I would also like to suggest that you use different songs for warm-ups and cool downs than your actual workout. It is easier to transition and get you conditioned to which songs are for each part of the workout. Read more »
