Gym Motivation Mp3 Songs Free Download
A workout music playlist for your next exercise session at the gym, including the 30 best workout songs to jump-start your fitness routine. Billboard Dance rounded up 30 of the best.
We’ve all been there before: You’ve set your workout goals for the day and you feel pretty confident that you can hit them. Maybe your expectations are too high but you’re still determined to power right through it. You can see the end in sight, yet it feels like it’s too far off as well. Maybe you’re a mile short of your jog, or maybe you need to do 10 more push-ups or sit-ups. You don’t want to give up but you don’t think you have it in you to continue.
So what are your options? “Absolutely not!” a fitness trainer might yell in your ear. But let’s face it, we’re not going to have a trainer or even a friend shouting words of encouragement every time we don our workout clothes. No, we suggest something much more affordable and convenient, and most of us carry this around with us at the gym or the park anyway: music.
• Eminem, 'Berzerk' This first single off of ’s hotly anticipated 2013 album, 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2,’ pays tribute to old school hip-hop and rock as it samples Billy Squier’s ‘The Stroke’ as well as a bit of the Beastie Boys. The track served as the theme song for ESPN’s Saturday Night Football for the 2013 season and appropriately so, as the roaring and catchy hook from ‘The Stroke’ coupled with Eminem’s boisterous lyrics paints a picture of putting everything on the line and having nothing to lose for one night. “S o crank the bass up like crazy and let yourself go / I say f--- it, before we kick the bucket / Life’s too short to not go for broke / So everybody, everybody go berserk,” Eminem repeats.

• 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa, 'We Own It' Rappers and collaborated for this single that was released as a promotional track for ‘’ the sixth installment in the franchise that made and household names, and now finds a place on our list of motivational workout songs. Originally used as the opening credits song that interspersed scenes from the first five movies, the song is now used as a stadium anthem song played at many sports arenas. “ I never feared death or dying / I only fear never trying” says Wiz Khalifa before going into the chorus, proclaiming “I’mma go for it / This moment, we own it.” It’s a great reminder that we, and we alone, are responsible for our own successes and failures. • Kanye West, 'Stronger' ‘Stronger’ is a classic, but one that still continues to get the blood rushing when used for a workout routine. The 2007 hit off ’s ‘Graduation’ album borrows a vocal sample from Daft Punk’s ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.’ The robotic vocals from the Daft Punk combined with Kanye’s own take on Neitzsche's mantra “What does not kill me, makes me stronger” makes for an energetic motivational song that you just can’t ignore. The song remains one of Kanye’s most famous tracks, earning him a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance as well being named one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2007 before making our workout songs playlist.
• Beyonce, 'Run This World (Girls)' One can pick any number of songs from ’s discography to use for a workout, but we’ve opted for ‘Run the World (Girls)’ for that extra push you’ll need. Off of the album ‘4,’ ‘Run the World (Girls)’ is hard to categorize into any one genre. A fusion of pop, R&B, hip-hop and dancehall, the track is known for Queen Bee’s theme of “girl power” and repeats the phrase, “ Who run the world? Girls!” over and over. “Boy don't even try to touch this / Boy this beat is crazy / This is how they made me,” sings Beyonce. We can’t think of a better song for women to get energized to while working out. • Flo Rida, 'Good Feeling' sure knows how to put together a track that can get an entire room of people to begin shuffling their feet.
