Getting out of bed in the morning and going to the gym is not an easy habit to get into. It sucks really. When ever that alarm goes off I more often than not want to turn off my alarm and go right back to bed. Paying for a personal trainer ensures that I make it out of bed but getting out of the house is another story. As I make the trek from my apartment to the train and then to the gym, music is the only thing that gets me motivated in the AM. These are my favorites that get me going in the morning.
Beastie Boys | Make Some Noise
Hot Sauce Committee Part Two comes out May 3, and if you haven’t seen Fight For Your Right Revisited yet, you don’t know what you are missing. Make Some Noise is the first single from the album.
Kid Cudi | Up Up And Away
While yes, this is known as the wake and bake song, the opening lyrics definitely set the tone for the day.
“Now when the sun come up I’ll be there to say what up…”
Muse | Uprising
Having drinks with one of my friends the other night, I mentioned my love of Muse. His response was “Muse is very zombie-esque.” I love that Sanchez recognized that – it is partly why I love Muse so. Uprising is may “at bat” song. Post surgeries, this is the one song that reminded me my comeback was right around the corner.
Bloc Party | Helicopter
Guitar Hero introduced me to this song and it has become one of my favorite power songs.
