I avoided going to the gym every single day of my freshman year, making up some excuse on why I didn't want to go. I don't do that anymore. Instead, I fully embrace it.
Going to the gym is a battle of mind over matter. It's hard. I'm not going to lie. I have had days where the gym was definitely the farthest thing from my mind. I would much rather avoid the gym all together, and instead binge-watch episodes of Parks and Rec while eating a gigantic family-size bag of Doritos, but I know that's not smart. I hate exercise, but I do love being healthy. I hate cardio, but I love feeling confident after finishing a great workout.
I know that, for me, personally that I wouldn't get through any workout without music. Listed below are a list of fifty songs to play to help you finish that dreaded workout. So finish reading this post, put on your sneakers, put in your headphones, and press play.
