Party Hard
Just got back from my run*/walk for the day. The BodyBugg really motivates me to get outside and get moving because I get so sad when I realize that I can barely break 2000 calories burnt on a normal day and that sometimes I walk less than 3000 steps if I don’t make an effort to exercise. No wonder I’ve been gaining weight.
When I’m at the end of my run (however short or long it may be), nothing gets me moving like Party Hard by Andrew W.K.
Incredibly cheesy I know, but I can’t help myself. It’s my favorite workout song.
What’s your favorite workout song?
*Yes I am a few several a month early to be running but the urge came over me and I just couldn’t help myself. And it felt GOOD. I’m praying for no soreness tomorrow!
Also:
I'm a farm-raised almost-crunchy stroller-pushing picture-taking lifestyle-blog-writing gastronomy-obsessed divine-seeking thrift-store-combing cheese-inhaling pavement-pounding laughter-sprinkling lover of individuality and taking chances.
I love the song called, Wiggle It (Just A Little Bit)!!
1I don’t feel like dancing (Scissor Sisters)
William Tell Overture (Classical Cardio version)
2I know that it is fairly inappropriate song, but I love working out to “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mixalot.
Lately, No Doubt’s version of “Stand and Deliver”, Dropkick Murphy’s “I’m Shipping up to Boston,” Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” and Pink’s “So What” are also in pretty high rotation.
When I am running I like to keep the music as fast paced as much as possible, so anything with a good beat works!
3I think that nobody can judge people by their workout songs. My workout mix is so much different than my actual taste in music.
One song that is fun to run to is When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls. I had never listened to them before and then my mom said I would probably like to run to it and I did.
4My favorites:
Run it! By Chris Brown
Outrageous By Britney Spears
Wonderwall By Oasis
Fighter By Christina A.
Live Your Life By TI and Rihanna
Superstar By Lupe Fisaco
Happy running!
5Please Don’t Stop the Music by Rihanna
6You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
Daylight by Matt and Kim
Single Ladies by Beyonce
Flashing Lights by Kanye West
How funny, I was just scheduling a post about workout music!
I love:
Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun
Glamourous by Fergie (I know, I know)
I Don’t Feel Like Dancing (Scissor Sisters)
All Night Long (Lionel Richie)
and many more.
I think cheese is a necessity for effective exercising. It helps me dream about being hot and boogying down haha.
7I am amazed you are running with you bag and all. Guess it’s going well!
8Hot and Cold by Katy Perry is a current favorite
B.O.B. by Outkast is a perrenial favorite (as are all other Outkast songs!)
9“That’s Not My Name” by the Ting Tings will get me moving no matter how lazy I’m feeling.
10Stronger by Kanye West (edited of course!) keeps me pushing myself!
11This may be cheesy too, but I love it when “You Never Let Go” by Matt Redman comes on at the end of a tough run. It’s so encouraging to keep me pushing through to the end!
“I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on / and there will be an end to these struggles but until that day comes / still I will praise you / still I will praise you!”
12I like:
New Shoes by Paolo Nutini
13Saviour King by Hillsong
Harder to Breathe by Maroon 5
Hallelujah by Bethany Dillon
Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne
