My Workout Playlist



I've been spending copious amounts of time at the gym lately, and rather than listen to my fellow gym goers grunts and indescribable pain noises, I opt for music. I'm about to update my fitness playlist because I find that after awhile, you need new songs to refresh the workout and keep you from getting in a rut. But before I clear out the old, I figured I'd share with you just a few of the songs on my workout playlist right now.

1. Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects
I love this song. It's very upbeat and energetic! Great for a last minute push when running. The only thing I don't like about this song is the intense urge I get to start singing it when I'm running, and let me tell you, that is NOT a good look.

2. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
This is a staple for me in every single workout I ever do. You'd think I'd get tired of it, but nope. It's not going to be good for everyone, but the steady beat is really great for a run and I push myself a little harder each time the chorus comes around. There's a reason this song is still cool, guys. Give it a go.

3. Timber ft. Ke$ha by Pitbull
This song is just so FUN. I just want to dance when it comes on (and usually I do). Perfect for a workout then, right?

4. Dark Horse by Katy Perry
No explanation needed.

5. Lose Yourself by Eminem
If this song doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will. Em's story in this song is so moving. I'll never get tired of it. Ever.

6. Savior by Rise Against
This is the kind of song that makes you want to scream every word until you're red in the face. No, that's just me? Okay. This song gets me pumped every time. It's one of my go-to angry songs, not that I have many of those, but it's good to get some pent up aggression out via singing.

7. I Can't Stop by Flux Pavillion
I couldn't listen to this song if I wasn't working out. It literally just says "I can't stop" over and over again. But the beat is good and consistent.

8. FU By Miley Cyrus
Good Lord, if you've never listened to this song google it now. This is an ANTHEM for girls who have been misled, cheated on, or toyed with. Miley is mad and she don't care who knows. Which makes it a perfect song to workout to and push yourself to.

9. Titanium ft Sia by David Guetta
You know David Guetta?
No, seriously, this song is great for running because it gets more intense as it plays. Or at least, that's how it works for me. By the end I'm sprinting.

10. I Love It by Icona Pop
This song is just super energetic and up-beat. The tempo really never slows down so it's good if you don't plan on stopping for awhile.
