Everyone motivated themselves in different ways.  Some people enjoy walking early in the morning and will allow nature to be their music.  However, for those who are not early birds or for those who need that extra motivation, then music may be your answer.  For me, music can be a lifesaver.  Motivation is at times needed and music can be that extra push!  Find your favorite tunes, put them on your iPod or music player and rock out while you walk out!
