Hello Everyone!
I hope you are having a happy Wednesday so far! Give yourself a pat on the back for making it halfway through the work week already. Nice job!
The other day, my cousin send me a text message asking me to create a playlist for her to use during her workouts. Since I LOVE my cousin and I LOVE creating playlists, of course I said yes! It’s also been a little while since I posted a playlist of my new favorite workout songs on here, so I thought I’d share what I came up with for her with all of you, too! If you’re anything like me, you’re always searching for new songs to add to the mix, so you can really never have too many songs to choose from!
My cousin was looking for some less mainstream music to listen to, so I tried to include less popular music and more up and coming artists in this playlist. Even though she was looking for songs that were a little less familiar, I still threw in some mainstream songs that are just too catchy to leave out! I hope you enjoy it!
Looking for even more workout playlists? Check out some of my previous playlists here and here.
Questions of the Day:
What’s your current favorite workout song?
Do you prefer to workout to music, audio books or to nothing at all?

I need to check out these songs! I’ve only heard of…a couple…of them. But in my defense, there’s really only two stations here that don’t play country/Christian. :O
LikeLike
hahaha! Well I do have more than 2 stations that play pop music, so I guess I am at a little bit of an advantage. I found a lot of them randomly on Spotify too. 🙂

So I haven’t listened to music while running in a while since I”ve been watching movies on Netflix on the treadmill, but before I was loving Work it B*@ch by Britney Spears!

That meme applies to me yesterday. I did a lower body HIIT workout on Tuesday and I was sore yesterday. I had to keep foam rolling, even at work.

I had to do that the other week too! You always know you worked out hard when it hurts to go to the bathroom!

I need to create a playlist now that I am back to running! I enjoyed the Serial podcast while I was walking during my surgery recovery phase. What program do you use to create your playlist? I am loving that funny song, If your lips are moving…….

YAY for getting back to running! I am so sad that Serial is over and can’t wait for season 2 to start. I create my playlists in Spotify and have the premium membership, which is $9.99 a month so I can listen to my playlists on my phone and have full functionality of the app.
I love that song too! Hope you have a great day!

I don’t listen to anything while I run/workout. Since I don’t race with music, I don’t want to let myself get too used to having it while training!

Thank you! That makes complete sense. Gotta train how you race! Have a great day!

I don’t think I know any of these songs, but I know a lot of the artists–I have to go check them out! I ALWAYS have to listen to something when I work out, music, audio book, podcast, it really just depends on the kind of run or workout I am doing. I am amazed at people who don’t listen to anything!

I think it takes a lot of determination to not listen to anything at all. I’ve done it a few times, but definitely not by choice!

Thanks. There’s only two (I think) that I didn’t download to iTunes. These songs are great because they are completely new to me and because they are not necessarily songs I would normally pick for my every day use. This is good because then I won’t get tired of them so quickly. Thanks for finding these for me! Love you sweet cousin!

Of course! I love you too! I hope you like them! I tried to go a little less mainstream but still peppy for you! 🙂
