Best Songs to Run To

Music really has a huge effect on me. I love to listen to it all the time. I use it as my partner when I go running. Music is great to workout too; it lets your mind wander so you can push yourself longer and harder.

Some of the best music to listen to is fast pace and easy to run to music. The old school favorites are a must for your IPOD or MP3 players. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor or anything from any of the Rocky soundtracks are great to listen to. Can you really listen to the Gonna Fly Now by the Rocky Orchestra and not just want to take off running? That is the part in the movie when he is running down the road and up the all those steps. I can hear the song in my head and my heart is starting to race as I think about it.

As a woman I like to have songs I can listen to that are not only positive but empowering. I am a huge fan of the Black Eyed Peas any of their music is easy to run to. I love My Humps, that as a female is a positive song about our curves and it makes my steps bounce a little as I listen to this. Another positive female hip hop song I listen to as I run is Milkshake by Kelis, great song. It is a slower pace song but it has a positive message again about curves and it keeps me running strong. Another great artist to listen to help you run and keep inspired is Pink. My favorite to listen to recently is You Make Me Sick, it is from her earlier album but honestly anything from here is strong women power music.

The truth is as long as your making your workouts fun it will be easier for you to work out. I listen to some of my oldie favorites sometimes to help me get through my longer workouts. I will listen to Michael Jackson he is fun to listen to Bad and Thriller are my favorites. Paula Abdul is fun to listen to Cold Hearted Snake and Opposites Attract is my favorites. Everyone loves I Am So Excited by the Pointer Sisters it has a great beat to run to. Also I know this song from watching National Lampoon's Vacation I know that song is in the scene with Christy Brinkley. It makes me feel like a hot super model that someone is chasing after as I run to the song. Well if I keep running maybe I will be as hot as one, one day.

I hope some of the songs that I listen to help you out as well. Keep running and being your best.
