Fraser's Top 10 Training Songs... Part 1

Music is the kind of thing that can take your training to an entirely new level. There’s something to be said for the song that lifts your energy, hardens your will and motivates you to dig down that little bit deeper!

While I can’t promise that the following selection will appeal to every musical taste, every one of these songs takes my own training to an entirely new level and if truth be told, makes me drive faster :-)

In the video below I've tried to give you a little snippet of the song with a brief description as to why I like to train to it and attempt to capture what it is that does it for me about each one.



This list was actually a lot harder to pare down than I thought it would be. As a result I'll post 3 lists of ten over the next few weeks. The songs are in no particular order but I will guarantee if we ever workout together and any combination of these is featured in your playlist - you’ll see my energy peak!

I hope you find something here that gets your own training juices flowing.

Enjoy!

I have to say, I like your taste in music Fraser. Much of those songs I've had the albums for years, and there are all awesome songs. It made me laugh when Marilyn Manson came up with Beautiful People.

2 really awesome techno albums to add to that is; The Prodigy - Music For the Jilted Generation, and The Crystal Method - Vegas. Both a high tempo and rhythm to keep you moving and pumping! Big Smile

Check out Street Sweeper Social Club - I've found myself listening to the album at 10 o'clock at night, only to end up on my bike, taking a couple of laps around town because I couldn't sit still.  It's even better in the gym.

I'll add another vote for Crystal Method, especially the 'Trip Like I Do' mix with Filter as well as 'Name of the Game'.

Also, check out Mogwai's 'Batcat'.  If that song doesn't get you moving, I don't think anything will.
