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.)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
