alan713ch Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 While not exactly motivator in the sense of lyrics, I always like to begin my workouts with Bedroom Hymns by Florence + The Machine since the rythm of the song is so enticing to get up and moving... Also, Requiem for a Jerk, the Brian Molko homage to Serge Gainsbourg, is prety awesome (particularly at the middle of your workout, when you start feeling down) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is insanity.

Terrible oversight. Link to comment
Blaidd Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Quinn, I have a ton of songs that i just can't sit still too, but this is my get outta bed song in the morning - i just get goosebumps every time i hear this version. The version is by a local Capetonian band (that rocks) and whenever i hear this i feel like i am ready to head into battle. You've heard the original but it doesn't quite do what this version does for me Half Faerie (Sidhe) Scout | Black Belt Kitchen Ninja "A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort" - Herm Albright You're welcome to skype me (audriwolf) too but let me know who you are My challenge Link to comment

Love that version of Carmina Burana (sounds like a combo of Carmina, Cheb Mami and Loreena Mckennitt.

You've heard the original but it doesn't quite do what this version does for me O my gods! Thank you! This song is now back to back with version of the same theme (yes, I've adopted this as "Tengu's Theme", all versions welcome).Of course, I follow that right up with piece (this specific piece), because it sounds SO "Barbarian badass" during a workout ("One more pushup, you BITCH!") As much as I love metal and tech and dub, I just can't work out to them or get inspired. Soundtrack-type music for this black bird! Just Fracking DO it! Link to comment

PointyEnd Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Dude, I am totally ganking that Carmina Burana for ass-busting purposes. Thank you! Anybody who likes that may also like the . I love it for running -- I can't hear that massive frame drum without going faster. There's a ton of their stuff on Spotify. Here's some stuff I worked out to today that got me in gear:Especially for jumprope: Hot Chip, "Over And Over." over and over and over and over and overlike a monkey with a miniature cymbalthe joy of repetition really is in youunder and under and under and under and underthe smell of repetition really is on youand when i feel this way i really am with you Mark Foster, Kimbra and A-Trak, "Warrior"Florence and the Machine, "Dog Days Are Over"I used these for burpees -- rest during the slow verses, burpees when the chorus kicks in. You WILL pick yourself off the floor and do another one:Run fast for your mother run fast for your fatherRun for your children for your sisters and brothersLeave all your love and your longing behind youCan't carry it with you if you want to surviveThe dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan't you hear the horses'Cause here they come Level 2 MonkSTR: 4 | DEX: 4 | STA: 2 | CON: 6 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 3Battle Log | Challenge Thread Link to comment

PrincessHeather Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Totally different genre (ska) from everything else I saw listed, this is my favorite workout theme song. The band is Starpool, the song is "You Know You Want It." Makes me happy, and makes me want to get moving. Even sitting in my office is more enjoyable to this song "On Wednesdays we SQUAT"www.healthyprincessblog.wordpress.comCurrent Challenge | Coconut Oil is Magic | My Fitness Origins | My Epic Quest for Happily Ever After Link to comment
