You folks are singing my song
I have spent a good part of the afternoon searching for songs that motivate me during my workouts. You know the kind I’m talking about. The ones that make you feel like you can accomplish anything. The ones that make you take that next step because you want to not because you have to. Below is a list of some songs that I’ll be incorporating into my routine. Most are country songs, but I also like southern rock, Christian, 80’s, and even a little hip hop if it’s done in good taste. If any of you have a suggestion on songs I’d love to hear from you.
Isn’t it funny that music can create a mood just with a few words and a melody? It can inspire you, encourage you, motivate you to do better, go longer, run faster, and pump harder. You folks are my song…. And I love it. Thanks for all you do each day to help one fat chick to make it through to the next.

Here are my fav’s: Chumbawamba’s “Tub Thumping”
U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name”
Newsboys “Shine”
Big Daddy Weave “Let It Rise”
and the BEST one: Toby Mac “Made to Love” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1dEtbJY96c
(my two year old sings along to this one!)
I have some good ones I use. First one is Jewel’s “Stronger woman”, it isn’t very upbeat but it is catchy and it will give you the courage and the strength to carry on. Another one I love is Micheal Jackson’s “Dont stop til you get enough”, very up beat. Madonna’s “Holiday” is an awesome get up and go song. The Bee Gee’s “Stayin Alive” has a good beat to it also. I find that disco songs are very “moving” they make you want to get up and go. Give it a try.
Thanks Ladies, those are some good suggestions. I listened to several Toby Mac today. Love “Made to Love” and “Shine”. “Stayin’ Alive” is cool…. can see me struting downtown bustin’ a few disco moves right across from our Police Department where my dear hubby works. lol
