Your Gym Work Out Is About To Get More Intense With This Playlist!

Nothing says Happy New Year like setting resolutions to get in shape! Last year I set out to drop a few pounds (and might I add was a little successful at it) and I'd like to think most of my motivation to work out came from the music I listened to. I love to sweat and the more intense the work out the better for me. So I needed a playlist that would keep me in the zone even through my cool down. Something heart pumping, bass dropping, sexy and flirty is what I look for when looking for work out music. Pretty much anything that makes me feel like a boss when I hit the treadmill or the weights, even a kickboxing class is going to boost my enthusiasm for the gym and make me work that much harder while I'm at it. So, without further ado, here's what I listen to at the gym!

Warm Up:
Jack Ü- Take Ü There
Clean Bandit/ Jess Glynne- Real Love

Rihanna (DJ Taj Remix)- Bitch Better Have My Money

Gym Playlist | May 2015

I'm happy to say that lately I've been slaying the gym game. I don't mean to brag 'cause trust me I haven't lost much weight, but I do take the time out to go at least 4- 6 times a week. Currently I'm in Florida so I haven't been able to hit my gym, but I'm still going for runs on the daily to keep it up. I've noticed the songs that have kept me going throughout my runs have actually helped motivate me to keep going and push myself harder (I did an 8 minute mile-- beating my own time!). I thought I would share with you some of the songs I listen to and maybe they will help give you that extra push on your runs or during your time at the gym as well!

1. Take Ü There- Jack Ü ft. Keiza
2. Cinema- Benni Benassi (Extended Mix)
3. Revolution- Diplo ft. Kai
4. Gold Dust- DJ Fresh
5. Feelin' Myself- Nicki Minaj ft. Beyonce
6. Work- Iggy Azalea

Good luck and happy running!

The Song To Get You Running

This year, I've kicked off with a killer work out regime which involves tons of running and other forms of cardio. Towards the end of my workouts, I tend to get lazy and lose that rhythm I had when I started. I need something to keep me going strong and what better motivation than a sick song to run to. 

'Gold Dust' by DJ Fresh mixes that perfect blend of drum and bass that really makes you feel excited to keep going in your workout. I love me a good beat with fun, light hearted lyrics. I find that by listening to it when I start to get lazy, I put an extra pep in my step naturally, just because this song is on. My adrenaline works back up just so I can run to the pace of the song and by the end of my workout, I feel amazing that I completed it on a high note. 

The drum and bass jam is on the top of my list of new songs to jam to this year, even though it has been out for a while (like 5 years). It's never too late to start loving a good song. I just love me a good motivating song to work out to and just dance to with the girls ('cause that's what every girl does right? Dance with the girls while not at a club?).

What songs are you all listening to during your workouts? I need a new playlist this year so leave me some suggestions!
