All my life there has been a soundtrack playing in the background. It's gotten me through sad times and I've danced to it through good times. I don't know where I'd be if music didn’t exist tomorrow. I would have to say that music plays a very important role during my workouts.
There is just a meditative serenity I feel when I get on that treadmill and put my headphones on. I refer to it as my zone. I go into a blank trans where I just let the the beats flow through every single nerve, tendon and muscle in my legs as I jog through my interval running. There is nothing greater then that one track that inspires me to just one more lunge or fuels me to pull myself up even though every part of my body is shaking.
The other day my husband joined me at the gym for my workout. Usually he'll just walk next to me and watch TV while I do my thing on the treadmill. All of a sudden I turned and saw that he was running. Not just running but sprinting. Afterward, he told me "I don't know what got into me. This techno song came on and I felt the motivation to run." He's not into music at all so it was a very new experience for him. But me I feel it every time I go to the gym. I don't have just one favorite genre. I listen to anything that moves with the way I'm feeling. Here are my top 10 favorite songs to workout to, in no particular order of course lol:
1. Single Ladies (Put a ring on it)--Beyonce
2. Bad Romance--Lady Gaga
3. Only Girl in the World--Rhianna
4. Toxicity--System of a Down
5. All Jacked Up--Grechen Wilson
6. Freak on a Leash--Korn
7. Mala Gente--Juanes
8. All the Above--Maino
9. Back that Ass Up--Juvenile
10. Billionaire--Travie McCoy
It’s just a tiny tid bit of what I'm listening to while I work out. It’s strange how music can be such an inspirational tool to motivate you to do your best. lol. Happy Workouts!!!!!
