A New Year's Workout Playlist To Start Off Your Resolutions Right

In This Article:

As 2019 begins, what better way to kick off one of your new year's resolutions than working out to a bumpin' playlist. Sure, you can compile your own songs on Spotify, hit shuffle on your phone, or even just Google other workout playlists, but this one takes the cake. Equipped with slower-paced warm-up tunes, faster songs to run to, and calmer ones for a cool down, this playlist will help motivate you to actually work out. Whether you listen to all of the songs at once (making your workout about an hour long) or mix it up and only play a couple, either route will surely make exercising a bit less of a chore.

"Be The One" - Dua Lipa

For it being the starting song, "Be The One" is upbeat and lively, great for a light jog or fun warm up with slower breaks in between.

"BOOGIE" - BROCKHAMPTON

"BOOGIE" has absolutely no chill. There's no time for breaks during this portion of your workout. You're up and working hard — or else you aren't doing the song justice.

"More" - 5 Seconds of Summer

The underlying beat of this song makes me feel like I can lift a thousand pounds. Try it out bench pressing or lifting weights… if you're feeling up to it!

"Red Light Green Light" - Dune Rats

The energy in this song is insane and makes working out feel almost like a treat (at least for this minute and 54 seconds).

"Gold Digger" - Kanye West and Jamie Foxx

Put on your game face and get into those squats, girl.

"Let's Dance To Joy Division" - The Wombats

This song always makes me want to get up and dance… so why don't we?

"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers

Scream-sing this through the jumping jacks!

"Tongue Tied" - Grouplove

"Tongue Tied" is my go-to jogging song. I absolutely hate running of any sorts, but hearing this while jogging makes it a little less painful. No one can listen to "Tongue Tied" without feeling on top of the world.

"Pet Cheetah" - Twenty One Pilots

The intensity in "Pet Cheetah," combined with its slowed down verses, makes for a perfect workout jam. Play this during a more difficult exercise, where you need a few breathers in between.

"Lose Yourself" - Eminem

What workout playlist doesn't have "Lose Yourself" on it?

"I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor" - Arctic Monkeys

This is a super fun, steady jam that enables you to do your reps to the beat of the song.

"Animal" - Neon Trees

"Animal" is yet another great song to run to or just dance around the room to as well. It truly gives you the energy to take on any exercise.

"Roxanne" - The Police

"Roxanne," although it picks up during the chorus, is a decently calmer song to play while beginning to slow down your workout.

"Best Friend" - Rex Orange County

This song can be played really anywhere throughout the workout — as a warm up, cool down, or just while doing sit-ups. Its cool and collective vibes will allow you to truly just focus on the task at hand while giving you a pleasant background jam.

"10,000 Emerald Pools" - BORNS

As the last song on the list, "10,000 Emerald Pools" is a relaxing tune, perfect for the finishing stretches in your workout cool down. Let yourself reap all of the benefits of exercise and reflect on all of the progress you made today.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
