Your Guide To The Perfect Christmas Workout Playlist
Stephen Bruce

Thanksgiving is finally upon us. And we are all looking forward for this holiday for more then the day of deserved love and indulgence... As soon as that dinner is over, it is officially time to switch to full on Xmas music mode. Here are some of the all-time best holiday tunes to jam out to while you work hard to balance all the treats and partying this season. Please indulge this next month in both the festivities AND in listening to holy holy holiday music.


To listen to all of these songs collectively, click here to check out my playlist on Spotify!

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Starting a list out with a heart wrenching favorite. You can't help getting pumped on this classic. (Also Fifth Harmony has a great version)


Sleigh Ride - Debbie Gibson


I promise the girl kills this rendition. This will be sure to get you giddy-ing up.


Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano

A spicy Christmas hit! Don't even try and resist, I promise you will lose. Give in to the song and the workout!


Run Run Rudolph - Chuck Berry

A good pace for walk or light jog. Who doesn't love Rudolph?


Deck The Rooftop - Glee Cast

Glee always did to a great job with their mash ups, and this one is definitely one of their greatest and peppiest.


We Need A Little Christmas - Glee Cast

Sorry not sorry, Glee really did kill it with their Christmas album.


Last Christmas - Wham!

A little slow moving for a cardio song, but definitely needed to be included on this list. Maybe more of a stretching/core song. Who knows!


Underneath The Tree - Kelly Clarkson

Some old-school Kelly. Can't go wrong. A perfect for all the hopeless romantics.


Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande

Dat beat doe. Gotta love the queen of pop... I MEAN THOSE RIFFS.


Take A Break Guys - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Who doesn't love a good ol' instrumental groove for their workout?!


Act II: Candy Cane - George Balanchine's The Nutcracker


The Nutcracker is so lit that it had to be included somewhere in this list. This delightful number will get you sprinting your tush off!


Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

If you are having a bit of a bitter holiday time, listen to this to sweat it all out. It'll connect with you but also give you some of that Christmas magic.


Text Me Merry Christmas - Straight No Chaser (feat. Kristen Bell)


A perfect one for us millennials. Actually, for everyone because this is 2016 and we are all about this digital life. BAH. But it sure is catchy, and it makes me giggle, so check it.



Jesus Oh What A Wonderful Child - Mariah Carey

Why not come back to the reason for the season amirite? The soul just slays in this. I beg of you to wait because the last minute of this song will really get ya goin'.


A happy thanksgiving to all. Allow yourself to enjoy the day, and remember how pumped you will be to workout during the most wonderful time of the year with these tunes!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
