“All Fired Up” about Workout Songs

Choosing the right workout songs for your exercise can really help to motivate you to work out to your full potential. I really notice a  difference in the level of how hard I push myself if I’m listening to my favorite tunes on my iPod. When I’m listening to a song I like, it’s easy to lose myself in the music and forget that I’m putting my body through something that it would rather not do. 

One of my favorite workout songs is, “All Fired Up” by Pat Benatar. It has a beat that works well with running or cycling and when I keep the beat, I find that I am really pushing myself. Also, it lasts for four minutes and thirty one seconds and that is a good period of time to “push” myself. So, if I wasn’t listening to my favorite workout song while I was in the “push” mode, I would inevitably decide that I had “pushed” enough, way before the four and a half minute mark. But with my song, I can tell if I’m quitting too soon or not. 

I started adding workout music to my exercise routine about a year ago when my husband gave me an iPod. And I regret that I didn’t start sooner. Adding music to my workout has really helped to motivate me - kind of like my very own personal trainer. The workout songs set the pace and the length of my exercise.

The hardest part is deciding which songs are your favorite to workout to. You can borrow mine. Take a listen to, “All Fired Up” by clicking on the mp3 player below - Tell me, does that motivate you or what? (Of course, it’s better when they don’t cut off the chorus, but you get the idea, right?)

When you find your favorite workout songs, load up your iPod with them and - “Move It!, Move It!, Move It!”
