10 Songs To Get You Up And Working Out
Insights

As I ran, feet pounding and hearing the sound of my breathing, I just wanted to stop. I kept thinking to myself, "Why am I running? Who does this?" Sounding like Darth Vader, hearing myself run made it even worse. I decided maybe music would distract me from my throbbing legs or racing heart. There are some great songs that make running just a little easier.


1. "GDFR" (Feat. Sage The Gemini & Lookas) -- Flo Rida


At first, this song may seem like something just to party with. But listen closely to the beat. The deep bass and quick lyrics make it easy to find a quick heart rate.


2. "Dirty Little Secret" -- All American Rejects


With every strum of the guitar and smash of the beat, you can imagine each foot racing against the pavement. You can even imagine running being your "dirty little secret."


3. "Riot" -- Three Days Grace


This dark song may influence you to be a little bit angry. Do not fear! You blood will start boiling and you'll just want to run away.


4. "Warriors" -- Imagine Dragons


As opposed to the other songs, this song is promoting team work and beating the enemy by building something from nothing. Talking about being "above the rest" and "proving yourself" really gets you pumped to be the best athlete you can be. Also a good song to listen to before competing/playing.


5. "Sandstorm" -- Darude


With some bass drops and what songs to me like guns, it is not hard to get your heart racing at the sound of this song. Maybe even the sound of the dogs influence you to run away from the demons (scary gods) chasing you.


6. "Five More Hours" -- Deorro & Chris Brown


To some, running is really their "kind of party" and they may not be thinking "five more hours, we're just getting started," but it makes a good mindset. To think, "we're just getting starting" itself is imagining yourself coming into something huge and making it your own.


7. "Turn Around" -- Flo Rida


This song has a great tempo to run to. Again, it's really great to get your pumped up. You can also use the countdown as a timing until you sprint or give yourself a small break.


8. "Shell Shocked" -- Juicy J & Wiz Khalifa


If this song could get the Teenage Mutant Ninja Warriors ready, it can get you to run fast. Also, if your competition is about to be "shell shocked," what else could you ask for?


9. "Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued" -- Fall Out Boy


First, your hear the title and already feel like a bad ass, because they could potentially be sued for the original title. The lyric "I'm feeling young and reckless;" go ahead and feel reckless. Run fast, slow, medium, or backwards. Whatever you feel.


10. "Low" (feat. T-Pain) -- Flo Ride


Although this song is little old, who doesn't love a classic to get you ready to go? The song has a beat that is slow enough so you're not expecting to sprint to it, but fast enough where you're getting a good heart rate in. Also, it just makes you want to party. And running is a party... right?



Hope you enjoy this weird array of songs that are weirdly amazing to run to!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
