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.)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
