Songs to Exercise and Run To

Do you ever go running or to the gym and find the time dragging and actually counting the minutes till you get out of there. Most people find it hard to get the motivation to go to the gym on a regular basis unless you are in training for something.

I find that the right music can really help you, it gives you motivation, time flies by and you end up actually enjoying going to the gym and exercising.

I have a list of songs below that are on my ipod and automatically get switched on when I am in the gym, out running the roads or getting out on the mountain bike.

In the end these are only "my" favourites but you might have noticed they all have a good bass or rhythm to them. I really think this is essential if you want a good song to exercise to.

You need something that will take your mind away from what you are doing, take you to another place so that time doesn't drag. In no time at all you look at your watch and notice you have been running for 20 minutes were as before you had any music you were struggling to get to 10 minutes.

There are specialised albums out there for running/exercise and they will have a lot of bass music but don't just go for any song, go for something that is important to you, some songs can take you to a part of your life that you will always remember as being the best in your life, use these for your motivation.

I hope you enjoy my list and that it gives you a bit of motivation the next time you are doing some exercises.
