One very powerful tool

is MUSIC.  Find music that motivates you, that empowers you to achieve the vision you have for yourself. And not just when you work out, try to listen to it every hour of the day! Make motivation an everyday quality that you possess and watch things fall into your lap.  But what if things don't start falling into place? That's why we stay motivated.  Because WE WILL GET OURS! No matter what.

To me when it comes to workout music there are two types: Superficial (get you moving kind) and deep Inspiration (songs that have actual meaning that you can truly relate to).  These can be different according to your own experiences and beliefs but should follow the same general umbrellas.  I'll post a couple songs from each and maybe you can branch off from there.  Be sure to find inspiration everywhere, don't limit yourself.  So check out different genres and see what gets you moving and what gets you truly motivated to become the ideal you!

  3. Music is the only thing that makes me want to keep working out. I have tons of mainstream pop music on my ipod and I just listen to them when I work out. It's like these type of music was made just for that hahah

  4. Video game music usually helps me push myself while working out. Glenn's theme from Chrono Trigger works well.

  22. I've always really liked doing this, but putting the songs on shuffle and kinda playing a series in my head. It lets you vary your work out really well and keeps you distracted.

  23. I know what you mean. I listen to hardcore trance or NRJ while jogging and it's like a mysterious force that helps me run longer!

  24. Working out to music that has tempo changes within songs is the best—it's like an automatic variac for your intensity.

  25. Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On just might be our class song. No a bad choice of course, but I want something just filthy. Nice songs.
