We know getting in the mood to work out is not always easy. You’re tired, stressed from work and have a mountain of washing to do, but once you hit the gym or put on your running shoes, the relief you feel is amazing.
Getting motivated to actually start your workout is the main issue for most people. We all have good intentions, but there’s always something that seems more important, and even if you love working out and look forward to it every day, staying motivated can be hard.
Once you have your workout routine planned, and your gear ready to go, grabbing your headphones so you can really zone into your workout is normally everybody’s next step. But, listening to the same workout playlist can get boring, and putting on the top 40 hits for the week almost always guarantees that you’ll come across a song you don’t want to listen to, which means you have to skip it and look for something to keep you motivated, taking time away from your exercise.
To help fight the urge to skip every second song that comes up on a random playlist you put on, and to save you time so you don’t have to think of a bunch of motivational and upbeat songs to put together, we’ve made our top 30 list of songs that will make you want to crank up the treadmill, lift that extra weight, or try to go for a new personal best.
