Who has a workout playlist? *raises hand*

Who filled that playlist with all of their favorite fast songs? *raises hand*

Who gets irritated that you are constantly skipping songs on the playlist to get to the “good ones”? *raises hand

Truth– not all fast songs are good for working out! I hate when I get in a groove and some song starts thumping into my ears and totally throws me off! Yes it’s fast, and probably a song that I love, but it takes a special kind of song to really push me in a workout!

I need songs that make me angry. Or make me want to dance. Or make me want to sing at the top of my voice!!

Yes, I would be the girl dancing on the elliptical machine. Which is why I work out at home!

And today on the treadmill, I skipped at least 3 songs! I vowed to clean out my workout playlist leaving only those songs that really push me! I scaled back from over 6 hours of listening pleasure, to just over 2!

Felt good to finally loose some weight! 😉

So here is my essential playlist! These are my music preferences. There is a little of almost every genre, and these are the songs that really get my blood pumping!

32 of them. Not going to list them here, but you can find the whole playlist here: Essential Workout.
