Exercise Your Ears.

Sometimes my weekend trips to the gym are nearly too much to handle. People are packed in there like sardines, everyone vying for the one open treadmill, gym rats asking you, "How many more reps you got?", it can be a truly stressful and often annoying experience that I endure because I need the exercise. Okay, I'll be fair, sometimes it's not half-bad! But quite often, the only solace I find it escaping into my headphones. Good music really makes a workout WORK for me. It helps me stay motivated when I am feeling tired, pushes me to go a little bit harder when I feel like calling it quits, encourages me to keep a steady pace, and, of course, drowns out the rest of the people!

Recently I looked up exercise and running playlists and found a few good ones, so I thought I'd share!

NPR Ultimate Workout Mix

2012 Huffington Post Running Playlist

The Ultimate Workout Playlist

Good Housekeeping Jogging Playlist

I got a lot of really great song ideas off these and am now working on creating my own amazing playlist! I hosted a radio show for nine years and really miss selecting music for everyone to listen to, so when I finish my own I'll post it and everyone can enjoy!!

This song is the one I ALWAYS put on when I need a good jumpstart. Happy sweating!
