Epic Playlist is Epic.<\/p>\n

It’s getting warmer outside (at least where I live) and that always makes me think about fitness. As some of you know I used to be a huge fitness geek – still am I just didn’t have much time for it the past few years, but im getting back into it. So while I get back into shape I figured I’d help you guys get motivated to get healthy and do the same. It is hard to get motivated to do so, but I have found that Music is pretty much the best catalyst for fitness (for me at least) it gets me up and moving and pumped to get fit. I would recommend you all (if you aren’t currently) try getting in shape and starting a routine – you will feel wayyyyyy better, trust me. Also you will be 1000 times more creative. Being healthy is a win win in my book. And its fun! Once you get used to the pain that is haha. Maybe your not into fitness or any of that though, thats fine, these songs also double as epic inspiration and motivation when your working on your design or development projects – they bring out the best in you and your work!<\/p>\n

These songs are fantastic (in my opinion \ud83d\ude42 ) and appear frequently on my playlists that I use specifically when I need “inspiration and motivation” to do something (read – start something when being extremely procrastinatory lol), or be creative! I thought you guys might like if I shared them with you – so you can enjoy them as well, and also see a peek into the type of music I listen to on a daily basis :)! We did a post similar to this a while back with Best Music To Listen To For Inspiration<\/a> While Designing\/Developing From The Design Community that you guys liked so I figured we would do a series with some new tracks – this is the first part of the series – if you like it be sure to subscribe and stay tuned for more epic music ideas for your own playlists!! These are all clips I found from youtube so you can hear them on the page – I’ve been using spotify as my mp3 player instead of itunes and I’ve enjoyed that so maybe you should give it a try as well :D. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Carbon Kid – Alpinestars feat. Brian Molko<\/h2>\n

This song is epic – probably my favorite song to run to. Watch the video and you will see why. Features the lead singer from Placebo (Brian Molko – one of my fav bands ever fyi) being controlled by these weird scientist guys via remote control, making him run through a seemingly never ending hallway lol. Good video and song – always gets me pumped up – I used to listen to this song on infinite loop when I would go running daily (trying to start that again).<\/p>\n
