Workout Music 2 | 13 motivational songs to train 🚵

• I still remember when as a teenager I heard this song, it was the first time drums were mixed with electronic music and its rhythm flooded Europe.
• This great track was the starting pistol for the Danish duo Safri Duo, becoming the 4th fastest selling single in Europe 😲
• Played-A-Live uses tribal drums which give the song even a cooler vibe. Maybe due to that the song sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide.
• The tune was released more than 20 years ago, at the time it was impossible to go to a disco without listening to it. Nowadays it is widely used for spinning sessions or any other workout, because it is highly motivational.

• Barthezz is going to make you give it your all while training, with this irresistible beat.
• The real name of this Dutch DJ is Bart Claessen, who, after many years using the pseudonyms Stereoshaker and Barthezz, currently produces his music crediting his real name 🎧
• Produced in a small studio in the 90s, ‘On The Move‘ was the DJ’s first work and, after its release in 2000, it played non-stop during the summer of 2001.
• Despite Barthezz’s long career, this is still his best-known song, although he also has other great tracks like ‘Infected’.

• We go back in time and come across ‘Better Off Alone’ by the Dutch group Alice DeeJay, another classic of Eurodance music ideal for working out.
• Did you know that the track was going to be released without lyrics? That was until Sebastiaan Molijn (DJ Pronti) decided to relate a personal experience.
• That way, the singer Judith Pronk, tells us how it is better to be alone after ending a romantic relationship with your partner 💔
• By the way, the part of the song that says “talk to me” is inspired by a song by Eurythmics, ‘Here Comes the Rain Again’.

• We hop back in the time machine and return with ‘L’Amour Toujours‘, another 2000’s classic courtesy of the super famous Italian DJ Gigi D’Agostino.
• The song, which is also known as ‘I’ll Fly With You‘ 🐦 was very successful after its premiere in various American dance clubs and, afterwards, it reaped a similar result in Europe.
• Sung by Ola Onabule, this worldwide hit returned to the dancefloors in 2015, thanks to DJ Tiësto remix ft. Dzeko & Torres and Delaney Jane. If that wasn’t enough, the track also features an alternative rock version, by Brazilian singer Clarice Falcão.
• What a track! We’re sure you’ll enjoy it whether you’re partying or training.

• It’s getting closer, but it’s not time to quit yet, as here comes ‘Something‘ by Belgian trio Lasgo.
• As you can appreciate, this music has something that, for us, makes it perfect for exercising or dancing Zumba. We don’t know if the members of the group themselves have ever done it, but we do know that thanks to ‘Something‘ they won one of the coveted Belgian TMF awards and had a huge sales success in several countries.
• Evi Goffin was the front-woman of the band until 2008 when she became a mother and left the band.
• At that time the other 2 members of Lasgo, Peter Luts and Jeff Martens, organized a contest on Belgian television to find a new singer 📺 The winner was Jelle Van Dael, who in 2013 would record again our song Something‘.

• Yes, I know, what a name Peter René Baumann has chosen for his musical career, “DJ BoBo”. In Spanish it means “DJ Dumb”, but being Swiss, he surely didn’t think about how popular he would become worldwide.
• ‘Together‘ is not the DJ’s biggest hit, ‘Somebody Dance With Me’ or ‘Chihuahua’ 🐶 had even more impact.
• Wrapped in an electronic sound, the song gives a message of union:

Together forever for all the time
Together we welcome the secret sign
Together in freedom we take the chance
Together forever we will be friends

• Call me a geek, but I counted the number of times DJ BoBo says the word ‘Together’, do you know how many? 34 times!

• We’ve reached the end of our joint session with the best workout music, and we do it with a final high by Marshmello and Bastille.
• If you watch the video, starring actress Miranda Cosgrove, you will surely have a few drops of sweat on your forehead and a few tears running down your face 😭
• Dan Smith, Bastille’s vocalist, wrote the lyrics and Marshmello gave it the motivational touch.
• Surprisingly, the song was going to be for Justin Bieber, but luckily Bastille decided to record it themselves.
• It is a pop anthem with electronic vibe, cheerful and melancholic at the same time. Even the composer himself has admitted on several occasions that he doesn’t know whether to cry or dance to the song.
• Sportsmen, Sportswomen! See you on the next musical race! 🔊
