Best Reggae songs to listen to while working out?

After reading some of the recent threads here about fitness, Markus and I were inspired to start working out again. We now have a 24 hour fitness membership.

We have 36 days until Negril and we decided to tone up and set some realistic weight loss goals.


I asked Markus what he'd like to look like in 36 days.


He said Bruce Lee.

I decided to shoot for a Bond girl body. (Ursula or Halle)

As you can see we're both going into this with VERY realistic goals! Ha!:D



But in all seriousness, we are attempting to get back in shape. I had turned to food for comfort during a difficult time and now I want to shed that extra weight so I can fit into my bathingsuit. I've been looking for some good reggae music to listen to while running on the treadmill. I love Bob Marley but most of his songs make me just want to kick back and chill out... not really work out per se

Right now I've been listening to "MOVE" by Damian Marley on repeat

Does anyone have any other suggestions for good upbeat Jamaican reggae music to listen to while your working out?

Thanks guys!

Reggae is more my cool down music, lol. I have to listen to angry music when I run. I am currently trying to find a way to work in some reggae songs into my Zumba class.

tfw73 - ck out the ones I listed - they are "shake it" kinda songs......

Ok, let me check them out. I like to change it up every few months for class.

Oh HOLLA! Temperature is going into the rotation! I'll start choreographing it tomorrow. I'm going to borrow moves from that video! Awesome!

was going to jokingly suggest anything kartel; certainly did not expect to see didi on the star bwoy riddim as a suggestion :eek:

Def not reggae but Soca is great for working out if you're looking fast, uptempo music! As much as I love my roots reggae, it just doesnt work for me in the gym!

Marley - Great suggestion (Elephant man - Dancing gym remix) for getting pumped while running on the treadmill. thanks!

Sweetness - loved your two choices (I already downloaded them for my work out mix) Thanks!

I just got back from the gym... let me tell you, These Gyms in California are really intimidating. :confused:

Everyone looks like they walked out of a movie set.

I got on a treadmill between two blond flipping ponytails. They were running at 7.2 miles an hour without breaking a sweat. They just kept running and running.

After 10 minutes at 6.0, I was sliding off the machine.. a sweaty mess... Those chicks were STILL running. lol

I'm out of shape.

Thanks everyone for your great suggestions! I appreciate it!:cool:

I know the feeling, I live in NYC!!! Just put on your music, dream of JA and ignore them - before you know it you'll be outrunning them!!!

I love Michael Franti, most of his music is good for working out. Getting ready to head to the basement to get started this morning, yeah!

Morgan Heritage keeps my feet moving on the treadmill. One Calling, More Teachings, Don't Haffi Dread and more. Positive and motivational!
