WE music editor Andrea Warner asked local fitness instructors to share their musical motivation.
Beastie Boys Sabotage is a fast-paced song that gets me going when Im not ready to go.
Bob Marleys Could You Be Loved is my favourite song period. It makes me happy and I know all the words so I can keep focused on the task at hand.
I love Flo Ridas Jump featuring Nelly Furtado. It has great energy and the combination of voices really motivates you when your muscles are burning!
Neon Trees Animal makes you forget how hard youre working because you just want to sing along the entire time.
Guns and Roses Sweet Child O Mine immediately makes peoples ears perk up and gives them the burst of energy theyll need for a long fast climb with heavy tension. This song gets you going whether you like it or not!
The Ataris Boys of Summer is a fast-paced song that really gets people excited and gets their legs going fast. The build up to the sprinting portion before the chorus and the actual sprint itself leaves nothing to the imagination as far as what the task ahead will be.
Contours Do you love me is a great warm-up song that appeals to a wide range of people and ages. Its a little sexy in my mind because its used on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.
I have always loved Deee-lites Groove is in the Heart. Ill leave conversations and run to the dance floor when I hear this song. Its indescribable why I love this song so much. It probably has something to do with my love of 90s techno, nostalgia and slide whistles.
