For those of you who have followed me on Youtube for awhile you probably already have an idea of what kind of music I like to train to. On some older videos I had to mute the sound back before you could keep the song and give recognition. My music taste overall covers a wide range, but when it comes to hitting the gym my music preference typically fall within the hip hop genre. Below is my top 10 list of favorite songs for boxing workouts, as the years have gone on these songs have regularly found their way back to my mp3 Boxing folder (or on my mix CD’s back in the day).
I appreciate that everyone likes to workout to different sounds, music brings out different moods and aspects of our motivation and creativity. Feel free to leave your top 10 list in the comment’s section, or top 5, or even top 3 if that’s all that comes to mind right how.
10) Won’t Let You Down – Chamillionaire
Download here – Won’t Let You Down
What can I say? This song is high energy and it’s all about hustlin’ and getting yours
9) Hit’em Up – Tupac
Download here – Hit ‘Em Up [Explicit]
Can’t do better than this track to put you in the mood to dish out a beat down
8) Breaker’s Revenge – Arthur Baker

7) Down With the King – Run DMC
Download here – Down With The King

6) Y’all Must’ve Forgot – Roy Jones
What would a boxing workout song list be without a song about boxing?
5) Express Yourself – NWA
Download here – Express Yourself
Intelligent real talk on a positive tip with a classic funky beat that makes me feel like movin’ and bouncin’
4) Lose Yourself – Eminem

“Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, Would you capture it or just let it slip?” Nuff said.
3) I Luv it – Young Jeezy

“My P.O. telling me I need a 9-5, but I already got a job and that’s stayin alive”

Actually, I think we’ve gone a bit overboard with some of the music at my club. Some guys put it on so loud you can’t even think. Maybe I’m getting old?! Most of the time I like it to be way in the background. The sound of heavy bags and ropes is enough music for me. That being said, I tend to work a little harder during This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars. And laugh if you will, but Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye gets me shadow boxing like Sugar Ray Leonard. Don’t judge!! Give it a try and you’ll be bobbing and weaving, slipping and sliding, and going pop pop pop with your jabs.

As soon as I heard that Gotye song I downloaded it! The music doesn’t lie, if it puts you in the mood then use it. There used to be a guy at my old gym who put slow jams on his mix CD, he was tough and had over 50 fights so everyone was pretty quiet lol.

Gangstarr – Work… My absolute favorite song to warm up to. The title alone pretty much encapsulates my mentality as I’m gettin loose.

Wont let you down is definitely one of my favorites. But my all time favorite song to do any exercising to is Beautiful Lasers by Lupe Fiasco. America by Deuce is a good one too. Run This Town by jay z and rhianna. And I listen to alot of Tech N9ne’s fast paced songs. they get the blood flowing. Like Industry is Punks. cant go wrong
