Waking up at 4 in the morning is already a hard thing to do and if we add no motivation drive towards it is even harder. Especially if you go to the gym after a long day at work or school is even harder to get motivated and if you work out that’s worse. I like to get my motivation from music. I like music that has powerful words and reassuring words to help me get through my workout. A little motivation from great music and a little pump in my heart gets me going at the gym. This pump is always an amazing feeling for me because I know I’m getting ready to crush the workout. My fitness routine is based on motivational lyrics, tunes that bring back good memories, and driving beats. We all know the music has the power of helping you stay on track and focused on the task you are doing. Let’s start off with my favorite song.
Eye of the Tiger by an American rock band Survivor released in 1982. This song reminds me of why I’m working so hard to achieve my dreams. It keeps me on my feet since I know that I’m not the only one working hard to achieve this dream. I have to work harder than everyone else to accomplish it trading my passion for glory I can also be set back from it. Even when I reach my goals and dreams I can not settle for that, I have to keep going since I have worked so hard for it to become a reality. Listing to this song early morning is such a motivational and positive song. My determination for the glory gets stronger and stronger by the end of the song reminding me to have the eyes of a tiger and to keep focused.
My second favorite motivational song is Survivor by an American R&B girl group Destiny’s Child released in 2002. Is a classic Destiny’s Child banger. This is a great song especially since is a female group. Reminds me to keep pushing hard on the workout especially when I am getting closed to reaching a new personal record (PR). While singing along the words “I’m a survivor, I’m not goin’ give up, I’m not gon’ stop, I’m gon’ work harder” is the so motivational and it stimulates psychological factors to keep going and never give up. Great soundtrack!
My third uplifting Pop song is Giant by Scottish DJ Calvin Harris feat Rag ‘n’ Bone Man released in 2019. This song is reassuring me that I am a giant. Hearing this self-empowerment song lifting my spirit up while I’m having a hard day either at work, personal, or at the gym. It reminds me that I need to be strong as a giant and to keep my head up no matter the circumstances I am currently experiencing. Wonderful song and motive!!!!!!
Higher Love by Kygo feat. Whitney Houston when’s one of my favorite cardio jam. I love what DJ Kygo dis with the song. Definitely changed things up giving it a tropical house spin and with Houston’s powerful voice makes your spirit keep going and not wanting to stop. This song is such a great way to finish up my cardio at the stair master after an hour of training. Doing HIIT cardio to this song is just what you need To burn more calories.
Last but not least I have to go with a salsa song since I do love to dance salsa and get my cardio in while doing it. La Mordidita by Ricky Martin released in 2016 has such an amazing effervescent salsa beat making you want finish up your cardio or workout hard. This beat is so vividly that your hips can’t stop moving once you hear it and your mood changes to a whole another level. It makes you want to smile more and dance even more! Great song to keep sweating and dancing those calories off your lovely body!
