Disney Playlists - Work Out Music

Disney may be known for their romantic music and songs that touch the heart, but that doesn't mean Disney doesn't have songs that pump the heart either. Here's a workout Disney playlist to get you going when the going gets tough.

The song titles are also links to the songs on YouTube. They are the actual scenes of the song so some may start with dialogue from the film. Enjoy!

 I'll Make a Man Out of You (Mulan)

 

This is the ultimate work out song. Not only does the music get you rearing to go, but the lyrics are absolutely perfect for doing that extra set of lifting or pushing yourself through a cardio routine. You can be swift as the coursing river, you’ve got the force of a great typhoon, you’ve got the strength of a raging fire – just not sure if being mysterious as the dark side moon has anything to do with working out.

I Just Can't Wait to Be King (The Lion King)

This isn’t your typical workout song, but I do think it lifts the spirits and has that message of hope and excitement, kind of like what you get when you start a new exercise regime – you just can’t wait to get fit.

Touch the Sky (Brave)

When Merida is riding her horse Angus, shooting arrows at every target she passes, and climbing mountains with this song in the background, it always makes me want to do something physical. It’s the combination of the images in your head that go with this song which pump you up for your daily dose of exercise. Merida’s got it on lockdown so this song will do the trick.

One Jump Ahead (Aladdin)

This fast-paced song where Aladdin reminds us that he’s one jump ahead of everyone else because he’s so swift and cunning only inspires us to get ahead of the game. It could even get you ready for a sporting event – stay one jump ahead of the competition!

 

Stand Out (A Goofy Movie)

I love this song! It’s fast paced, uplifting, and tells us to stand out above the crowd. Whenever racing, this song makes me want to pace everyone ahead of me because first place always stands out! You gotta believe that you’ve got what takes – it’s a piece of cake.

He's a Pirate (Pirates of the Caribbean)

I don’t know what it is about this song that’s got me and so many people I know energized when working out. There are no lyrics but the music just sets something off that makes you want to push yourself a little further and gets the blood pumping.

Go The Distance (Hercules)

Though this is a slower song, these lyrics are perfect for distance runners. How many times on your run have you told yourself every mile will be worth your while and that you can go the distance? Well, even if you haven’t told yourself that, the song will tell you that you shouldn’t care how far, somehow you’ll be strong!

One Last Hope (Hercules)

The entire sequence for this song is quite literally a dude getting into shape! Hercules is training to the melody and lyrics of “One Last Hope,” and he ends up jacked so if it worked for him, it can work for you too! Remember every workout takes more than sinew and comes down to what’s in you.

Zero to Hero (Hercules)

Yeah, I know – half the Hercules soundtrack is on here, but it’s because it’s so perfect for this playlist! Zero to hero is such a pump-up song that it can get any lethargic person off the couch and out for some exercise. This song will get you ready for you toughest workouts and help you go from zero to hero in no time! Just don't forget to drink your "Herculade" to replenish electrolytes.
