What's your favorite workout tune?



Recommended Posts

So there I was, at the gym, at the end of a 35-minute workout on the elliptical, watching the minutes tick by and getting ready to be done. But then through my headphones I hear the one song absolutely guaranteed to get me crankin' up good: It's Raining Men, by The Weathergirls.

I'm sure people thought I was a lunatic, because I was doing everything but singing my lungs out. :) So what song gets you going, no matter how drained you are?

I can't believe you wrote that since I drop everything when that song comes on to dance in my underwear while singing into a brush handle!

The next best song is THUNDER STRUCK by AC DC. Mind you, I've never been a huge AC DC fan, but a friend gave me a mixed tape to exercise to. Every time Thunder Struck comes on it makes me work harder!

Okay okay... I confess.... it is Men Without Hats: Safety Dance

"you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind, cuz if friends dont dance and if they dont dance, then their no friends of mine"

Another Favorite is Limp B. My Way

Let's see:

Carbon Leaf's "Life's less Ordinary" (new group saw them on Ellen Degeneres)

Queen: "fat bottom girls" "we are the champion" "we will rock you" Hell anything by Queen is good to work out to.

Avril Lavigne: Anything is good but I like "skater boi"

Steppenwolf: Anything

Bruce Springsteen: Anything

Aerosmith: Anything

Funny, I'm not a Britney Spears fan, but I love it when they play 'Toxic' at Curves. It's a great work out tune. Another silly song that always makes me wanna move - "Mr. Roboto" by Styx.

I'll think of more.. I'm a major music fan..

From way back when I used to do step aerobics 15 years ago......

New Attitude from Patti LaBelle.

To this day when I hear it I get kinda pumped up!

I actually can't do my workout if I don't have my specially burned cd! My son made it for me and put all my favourites, and some ones he thought would be good - I love love love Van Halen's "Jump", Christina Aguilera (sp?) singing "Dirrrty", and dance tracks like "follow da leader", and "Time to Burn" (Storm)....!

Safety Dance and Toxic! Great choices. Penni, now I'm gonna make you make ME a mixed tape of all this.

And I agree, anything from Queen, any day of the week. Anything from Alanis (she makes me really mad at men, which makes me sweat more.)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
