Music has the power to make me wanna move.
Even though all my "moves" are white girl ones like raise the roof.
When I'm working out and listening to a good mix of motivational music I find that I am able to work out longer, push myself harder, and I move quicker because I automatically adjust my pace to keep in time with the tempo. I am also distracted from the fact that I am torturing my muscles at the moment :)
The music I like is loud, fast, and upbeat. I also need a faster tempo - around 100 beats per minute.
(Nursing side note: this is also the rhythm of the song "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. And is the recommended rate for performing chest compressions during CPR)
I like a mix of hip hop, rap, pop, and a little angry rock. I get bored so I am constantly changing my playlist and always looking for new songs to add.
Here are some of my favorite work out songs currently on my ipod right now:
