FITNESS MUSIC – INSPIRATION – part one
The inspiration playlist will be the most beneficial in your library because you’ll need it when you really don’t feel like working out. I know whenever I first began working out habitually I needed the encouragement to push myself. You also must have this in those times when you’re too tired, too hungry, too upset, etc. Use this fitness music to get something good from your melancholy. Read more »

WORK OUT MUSIC - ANGRY - part two
I definitely have utilized these songs every now and then when I can’t be anything but infuriated. I felt so much better after I sweated it out, because I took all that frustration to the gym instead of saying or doing something I’d regret. Great work out music = stay out of trouble. Read more »

RUNNING WORKOUT
I know I have listed several songs that could work for running, but these are especially terrific for pushing yourself through every mile. I need to change up my songs for my running workout more often than regular workouts, because I need the constant change to keep me motivated. It takes a lot more out of me to run than other exercises and I need variety. Read more »

WORKOUT BEST - LOVE - part one
Love gives you wings! Whenever I have the love bug (or not feeling pessimistic about the subject), I believe these songs workout best. So hopeless romantics, use these songs for that special someone (even if you haven’t met them yet). For the rest of you, don’t worry. I’ll have some heartbroken playlists in a few weeks

WORKOUT MUSIC - MOVIES - part three
If you read my posts before, you had to guess I’d have one with music from the Charlie’s Angels movies. I’m not saying they are great films (I wasn’t a fan of the sequel), but it does have great music with its action scenes. Even if you don’t find the movie all that appealing, give the workout music a chance! 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! I know that some songs might seem too harsh and you’ll say “I don’t like techno.” Please give them ONE CHANCE, especially on a day when you’re feeling extremely overwhelmed and horribly underappreciated.

So here are some of my favorites work out songs to play when I am especiallypeeved and need to imagine myself as a superhero seeking justice against my arch-nemesis. Read more »

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 »
