Before I list my 5 favorite boot camp warm-up songs when using the new iWorkout Muse PRO app for the iPhone and iPod Touch for my camps and personal workouts, I want to first announce yesterday’s content winner.

We had an awesome surge of favorite workout music posts at our Workout Muse Facebook Fan Page and thanks to all for participating!

Not only were there are ton of new songs I’m adding to our bootcamp playlists, but there were some classic songs that I had forgotten about over time.

Though everyone contributed some fantastic suggestions, there can only be one winner…

Congratulations to Dave Macfarlane!!

Dave suggested “Click Click Boom” by Saliva and I totally forget about this song and actually never even knew the name of the song or artist(s).

It’s pretty hype so I added it to my master bootcamp playlist right away.

Dave, please email support@workoutmuse.com to claim your free coupon code for our brand new iWorkout Muse Pro app. You can either use the coupon code for yourself or gift it to a friend, family member, client, or camper who has an iPhone or iPod Touch- the choice is yours!!

Now, on to my 5 favorite bootcamp warm-up songs…

One of the cool new features of our new iWorkout Muse PRO app is the ability to have pre-workout, workout, and post-workout sections AND the ability to select specific music for each section.

So I always have certain songs/playlists for the pre-workout that differ from the workout or post-workout.

What’s the difference between a warm-up and a workout song?

Well, for me, the warm-up song is meant to get you ready to rock for the upcoming high-intensity workout.

It should have a steady build of tempo and intensity and finish with a nice little climax at the end.

It needs to inspire you to get ready to move with passion and purpose.

Plus, I think it’s also nice when the song is a bit quirky and fun.

Here are my current 5 favorite bootcamp warm-up songs:

1.) Jukebox Hero by Foreigner

2.) What is Love by Haddaway

3.) Pump Up the Jam by Technotronic

4.) Super Freak by Rick James

5.) Uprising by Muse

PS- Listen to what Joe Dowdell said about the new iWorkout Muse PRO app on Facebook: Joe Dowdell: Just downloaded the new version of iWorkout Muse Pro. Already set it up for my Modified Strongman training session tomorrow. Totally looking forward to cranking up the tunes and moving some load. Thanks BJ Gaddour!

Joe is the top trainer in NYC and trains a list of who’s who including actors, musicians, world class athletes, models, high-profile executive and more at his gym Peak Performance in Downtown Manhattan. If it works for Joe, it should work for you

PPS- Check out what Robert Palka, one of Joe’s friends, said in response to Joe’s update about our app:

Robert Palka That iWorkout is fantastic. Used it last night for some intervals. Good to be able to choose your own music. They could easily double the price, it’s well worth it.about a minute ago

Robert is right. And we will probably be bumping up the price by the end of the week so be sure to get the new app before we do:
