Workout Playlist for a Sunny Day.
For me, a good exercise playlist can make or break my entire workout. If the music isn’t right, it’s hard to get motivated. I find that running or working out on the elliptical is actually very enjoyable when I let myself get wrapped up in a good soundtrack.
Below is a suggested playlist for a half-hour workout plus warm-up and cool down. I usually run at about 6 miles per hour, which definitely impacts the music that works for me. If you run faster or slower you might need to modify the playlist.
Warm-up
“Never Let You Go” by Third Eye Blind (3:57)
“Get Off of My Cloud” by the Rolling Stones (2:59)
Main Workout
“Baba O’Riley” by the Who (5:23)
“Wolf Like Me” by TV on the Radio (4:39)
“I Want You Bad” by the Offspring (3:25)
“Fat Lip” by Sum 41 (2:59)
“Circle of Fifths” by Milkman (3:43)
“The Love You Save” by the Jackson 5 (3:04)
Cool Down
“Internet Killed the Video Star” by the Limousines (3:53)
“Simple Song” by the Shins (4:15)
This playlist is varied in genre and keeps me interested long enough to get me through the workout. I hope it works for you, too!
Happy President’s Day, and enjoy your workout!
