I feel like I go through phases with using music when working out. There are days when the thought of listening to music while exercising makes doesn’t appeal to me. However, on a lot of days I need something extra to help me through my workout.
When I listen to music, I need something upbeat and fast to get me going. I’ve recently revamped my playlist and thought you all might want to see what songs power me through! A new month is upon us (very soon!), so what better time to update your playlist?
Question: What songs have been on your playlist recently?

Awww. Look at your with all your songs with “love” in the title for February!
I always love Hanson on my workout playlist, but lately I’m obsessed with Hot Chelle Ray.
Love We Found Love right now! I am still listening to Raise Your Glass - Glee version too, for some reason I find it a great pump up song.
I still love the “Rumor Has It / Someone Like You” mash up from Glee, as well as their “We Are Young” version. And sadly, “Sexy and I Know It” & “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO always make me smile when I’m slogging through a long run
TOTALLY agree with 1,2, and 10!
ok this might sound weird, but i am obsessed with songs from my Zumba class…please look up Don Omar and Lucenzo, Taboo, and also the song Danza Kuduro. If those songs dont help you move it, I dont know what will!
I also have Chris Brown and Pitt Bull International Lover, and the entire David Ghetto CD. It is amazing!
“in the dark” gets me so pumped, “addiction” and “take over control”… I like fast tencho-y songs when I work out. They keep me going!
Check out Sugarpills by Kids of 88. I can’t get it out of my head after exercising!
we found love is definitely number one! I just never get tired of that sound!
Those are awesome songs!
…….I just listen to whatever my free Pandora station will play for me. They tend to do a pretty good job!
we are young is basically on repeat in my life right now. love all of these songs!
this might sound ultra cheesy, but christina aguilera’s “candyman” shall always be at the top of my cardio list. today during flow yoga, i enjoyed naughty by nature’s OPP.
your list is awesome.
Love you like a love song… <- love it. It gets stuck in my head all day but that's okay.
And same with Move Like Jagger.
Honestly, I love every track on here b/c they're perfect for cardio. Sometimes I like certain tracks and types of music for certain workouts and these would be great for cardio. Or to belt out in my car when I'm alone and no one's listening. lol
The Nicki Minaj/David Guetta song and Selena Gomez are definitely in heavy rotation this week for my runs…so glad I’m not the only one who listens to this stuff!

Totally gets me through my workouts. I love her.
David Guetta, With out you
Britney Spears, Slave 4 you
Anything Bon Jovi because I love him
Lose Yourself by Eminem. I have it on my running playlist about 3 times…
I am all about the “Love You Like a Love Song” by Selena Gomez! lol I don’t know what it is about her songs, but they always make me happy and want to move!
I’m the same way- I need upbeat music! I LOVE Rihanna’s “we found love” and Jessie J’s “domino”! And for some reason, my roommate got this stuck in my head, but every time I hear or see the title “moves like jagger” I think “moobs like jagger” haha…so random
You just inspired me to go download some new music on itunes! I haven’t updated my playlist in at least 4 months… and some have been on there for at least 18 months or so
What a fun mix. There are some songs that I get sick of really fast… but Moves Like Jagger still gets me excited every time I turn on the radio. I love that you included some Glee. I remember I downloaded Blackout several months before it was popular for free on Itunes. I felt so cool when it started getting radio airplay and I already knew all the words.
love this list! Moves like jaggar fo sure
I’ve been listening to a lot of Zumba music
But I’m LOVING your playlist!! I do like the Selena Gomez song, it’s definitely grown on me.
my playlist right now also has we found love and lots of glee songs. so since we have the same (good) music taste, im gonna have to check out these other ones.
aside from those pop songs i mostly listen to the cults and gaga. and podcasts. need more variety!
LMFAO’s song “Sexy and I Know it!”
What…no raining men??? Love that song actually have 2 versions on my ipod oh maybe youre too young to remember that song!
Love your playlist. I listen to the radiostation on my phone while working out. I know, but I love it this way…:)
I post my spin playlists on my blog! I just did a new one tonight, actually! I share the Kelly Clarkson with ya,but none of the other ones made it in this week. I’m loving Levels (Avicii) and the remix with Flo Rida even though I’ve been using it for weeks!
I busted out the old tunes this week: “Mo Money Mo Problems” - Puff Daddy & Notorious B.I.G.!
I’m pretty sure i have EVERY SINGLE ONE of these songs on my recent playlist
Also digging a ton of glee - per usual. Nice to run to when I can just embarass myself by singing and forget about the running part…
I’m obsessed with “Good Feeling” by Flo Rida right now! Also I keep on meaning to add some Glee songs to my playlist - I don’t have any on there yet!
I love those songs! I always have to have music on when I’m working out or my mind convinces me to just stop moving. My favorite pump me up song is STILL Party Rockin - some day I will move on, I swear
A few of these songs are on my playlist too!! I love a little Black Eyed Peas as well, they usually help me to get pumped up through a workout! ha
Some days the music does nothing for me, yet some days I know I would not make it through my workout without it!!!
Love this playlist. Especially the Selena Gomez. Something about that song gets me so pumped! My faves lately have been Coldplay and Rihanna - “Princess of China” and Inna - “Amazing.” I’ve been feelin’ the techno-inspired tunes!
I’m loving ‘Fight for this Love’ by cheryl cole and ‘Escape me’ by tiesto when i need to pump out the last few reps at the gym…like on biceps day!
