Not all motivating workout songs have to be fast paced and peppy. There are a few slow songs on my playlist that really get me going even though their tempo is rather slow. There is something about the methodical, underlying pulse of these songs that revs me up and makes me feel strong and fast. Maybe it's their message, maybe it's their anthem-like feel, I don't know but I love when these songs start to play on my Ipod and I hate when they're over. I thought I would pass on some of these not-so-common workout songs for your next sweat session. Enjoy!

Halo~Beyonce

Thunder Road~Bruce Springsteen

It's Only Life~Kate Voegele

Spirit in the Sky~Norman Greenbaum

Falling Down~Muse

Me and Bobby McGee~Janis Joplin

Shameless~Billy Joel and Garth Brooks both sing this song very well, but in my opinion, Garth's version is better.
