There is no doubt that when you listen to music you hear it emotionally. That is why music can be key to motivating your workout. Choosing songs that you associate with happy times or inspirational images will help inspire the energy you need to get through a workout, especially when you rather just be lying on your couch!
My husband/business partner Darryl and I (Anne Marie) decided to each put together a list of our top 5 songs that get us geared for moving...yes, even trainers need motivation when it comes to working out....
Darryl's Top 5 Work Out Songs:
- "Thunderstruck" -AC/DC
- "Welcome to the Jungle" -Guns N' Roses
- "Take the Power Back" - Rage Against the Machine
- "Still D.R.E." -Dr. Dre
- "Kickstart My Heart" -Motley Crue
Anne Marie's Top 5 Work Out Songs:
- "Glory Days" -Bruce Springsteen
- "Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky)" - DeEtta Little, Nelson Pigford & Chorus
- "Proud Mary" -Ike & Tina Turner
- "Crazy in Love" -Beyonce
- "Canned Heat" -Jamiroquai
To help keep you motivated this week come up with your own Top Work Out Song List. Email us your #1 pick(write #1 in the subject line) at thelivewellcompany@yahoo.com and we will use it to compile a list of the Top 20 Work Out Songs of all time.

I find that sometimes I like music and other times I do not. Sometimes, the quiet of my own head is comfort enough and rather than motivation I want solitude.
