Let's be honest, it's hard to motivate yourself to get up and go to the gym let alone to run those miles on the treadmill. The music you sweat to can be super important to get your mind off the fact that you're getting tired. I have gone through countless playlists when it comes to finding songs that can actually keep me entertained and motivated. Here are 10 songs that I have found that will help push you through your next workout sesh.
1. "The New Workout Plan" by Kanye West
As soon as I start my workout I go straight into this song. It's literally a song about working out and getting that body you've always dreamed of, plus Kanye has a knack for having some of the best songs to break a sweat to.
2. "Work Out" by J. Cole
Being a sample of the song above is the main reason I always listen to these back to back. It also makes me think of the TikTok dance to this song which makes me dance to it a little as I get my workout on.
3. "Boogie" by Brockhampton
FUN. This song immediately makes me happy when it comes on. It's so upbeat and can always put you in a good mood, even when you're three miles in and your legs are on fire.
4. "Spice Up Your Life" by Spice Girls
This song is also another feel good song that stays upbeat the whole song, also it just makes me feel nostalgic and want to sing along.
5. "Thunderclouds" by Sia, Diplo, and Labrinth
This song from the album that these three artist's collaboration is a banger. I can't get enough of Sia's voice especially with this song.
6. "BUTTERFLY EFFECT" by Travis Scott
Travis Scott's songs are part of the songs that will just make you feel good. I love to incorporate songs from ASTROWORLD to my workout, especially this song.
7. "The Show Goes On" by Lupe Fiasco
It feels like 2012 again when this song comes on, it can get a little repetitive but it's not too fast paced which makes it perfect for a cool down.
8. "Buttons" by The Pussycat Dolls
The Pussycat Dolls give me a throwback feel just like my dose of the Spice Girls. I always have a good time when this song comes on, who wouldn't?
9. "Monster" by Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and Rick Ross
Like I said before, Kanye is known for his songs especially when it comes to working out. I always get pumped up when I hear this and Nicki Minaj's verse will NEVER get old.
10. "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa
I don't listen to too much pop in my workout but Dua Lipa's songs always make me feel like a baddie when I'm at the gym. Give her songs a listen next time you work out and you may feel it too.
Here is my full workout playlist if you need a little more inspiration during your next gym day.
